@@mickjones4352 I live, perhaps, in the most unpleasant part of Peterborough. But even this doesn't stop me to see positive things in the city. Anyway, thank you for comment. Please, send me a link to your video when you post it :)
I've lived in Peterborough all my life and I find like any place it's the people not the place that ruins it for the rest, it has a few attractions but due to bad publicity it gets a bad name. Peterborough all in all can be a good place to live depending on which part you live
Exactly. I've made this video just with the purpose to explore what people are thinking about Peterborough. I live in there and I love this city despite all bad things around. Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙂
Went to Peterborough yesterday to watch a football match. The town centre is great, the cathedral is incredible, it has great pubs... on the river, great transport connections and countryside nearby. What more could you want. It’s diverse and possibly has issues with integration but with time I think more people will value Peterborough for what it is rather than blindly label it as a poor mans Cambridge
Maybe some culture?... The three theatres put on nothing but tribute acts now. The live music scene is terrible for as big a city as Peterborough. It's OK if you want a culture free zone, yes it has things going for it, but currently developers are greedily buying amenities up such as the market, and every other green space and building high-rises. In short, it is rapidly heading towards deserving this accolade.
So Peterborough (live and work there) isn’t a Utopia but there are worse places to live, it has great potential, it just needs decent politicians who’ll actually invest time and effort into cleaning it up.
Found this video earlier being from Stamford always found cities and particular Peterborough very intriguing I’ve had a binge watch of your channel loving the Peterborough/Stamford stuff please keep it coming also definitely worth the subscription merry Xmas
Thank you so much 🙂 I love Stamford. Remember when we came to Stamford for the first time, we just couldn't hide our emotions. It's so beautiful! From any position it's like framed for picture 📸 Merry Xmas 🎄
There could be, but the people don't support our little Key Theatre, let alone lovely shops that have now disappeared. They only seem to want Pound shops and cheap family shops thats why. The corporation have tried to make it nice, but louts damage it. They should be fined at source, then it stands a chance. We all need to play our part with improving the standard ie litter and graphetti.
I remember the city from 2013 when I was working there as a 19 yrs old kid in a Amazon warehouse gaining my first work experience. Lived over 2 months and something in Wisbech so being in Peterborough for a weekend was always a holiday haha. Later when the agency let me go 4 days before Christmas I decided to return back to Slovakia . Always will remember that time with a smile. BTW life is unpredictable, been 3 years now in south Texas.
Thank you so much for comment:) Glad you have good memories about Peterborough. I've been to Slovakia 10 years ago (as parent accomplished young footballer). Your country is amazing! 🙂
@@GlencoeLaird in the warehouse ? Well you are not going to chill, that I can tell you right now but it was fun ! And you get to meet many different people. For me as a 19 yo kid it was a great experience. And even if you're a bit older it doesnt matter, I think there is a chance for career if you work for it.
I am totally pissed off with people slagging off peterborough.every town ,city,village has its rough areas.peterborough has a lot to offer.loads of pubs,clubs,thertres,parks,2 swimming pools,the cresset,river.the odeon,rail station.ect.....everything you need...stop slagging it off.peterborough does not deserve it.
It's a shit hole that's why i left in 2000 and now i live in Kings Cross Station in the men's toilets where i get my arse shafted for a fiver every night, i make sure I'm always lubed up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for comment. Agree with your. It was published couple of years ago that Peterborough is one of the worst cities in England. In the comments to this video we can see that people have very different views on this question.
I grew up in Peterborough in the 70s and 80s and it was an exciting place to live then but its not so much the buildings it's the people that live in them nowadays I'm happy in Scotland out the way
You are absolutely right. It's people doing all the atmosphere. But, there still are really pleasant parts of the city. And, of course, disgusting and even dangerous areas. In overall, Peterborough is like many other cities, contrasting. Thanks for comment :)
@@notstephennn Check out on google...Roy Kinnear the Peterborough Effect... Adverts from the early 1980's... I moved to the Ortons, back in 1986... It was definitely the place to be back then.... Sadly, seems to be more like the Alamo nowadays...?
The vending machine in the bus garage is especially impressive. Less so is the fact that some rocket scientist had the notion that pouring concrete all over the city centre and building a shopping centre in front of an undeniably beautiful cathedral was a good idea. There are some pockets of nice areas - Ferry Meadows, Orton Waterville, Botolph Green - but the city centre is an absolute khazi.
I was born in Peterborough in 1993 and I currently live in Japan. I do not think it is the worst city in England, but I do believe there are many issues that need to be fixed. I remember going there two years ago and comparing it to what it was when I was a child, to be honest I was somewhat disappointed. Drugs, filth on the streets, lots of crazy people about. But hey, home is home. Thank you for uploading these type of videos, it truly brings back nostalgia and memories.
Thank you for comment. You are right, there are a lot of problems in Peterborough, and I see them every day. I tried to show that we can focus not only on problems but on good things as well.
I won't have anyone knocking Peterborough; it's been very good to me since I moved here in '91. Plenty of work, great road system, easy access via rail to other parts of the UK
Thank you for watching and sharing your view. You're right in terms of work opportunities. And even rent is not so high as in other parts of England. But crime rate is quite high, unfortunately.
Hello 👋, nice video. Thanks for Sharing. What’s the best area for live in a share flat. I am going to work in a few days in Amazon. I am looking to a room. Many thanks. Sorry for my bad English.
Hey. Thanks war watching. Traveling around the UK I can honestly tell that Peterboro is not the best place. But also not the worst. Enloy your new job! 🙂
I'm korean and I was there 15th years ago.. I lived North Bretton. . So many years pass away but. . I'm still remember many things. .sorry for my bad English
Thank you for comment :) Hope you have good memories about Peterborough. No worries about language. I cannot even imagine how to learn Korean 🙂 (By the way, my English is not good as well)
You're totally right. I just checked statistics today and discovered that Peterborough is far from worst by many parametrs including crime. Thank you for comment 🙂
Absolute hole. I was asked recently if I could think of anything good about the place I spent eighteen years of my life in. I said it had a better John Lewis than Cambridge. Then I found out - not anymore!
@@LetsexploreUKtogether where I’m from (east field) the schools ain’t the best always police coming in and out and there’s a lot of fighting and the teachers are bad
I can see at the time you took this, there were few people about, that's what ruins it unfortunately. Lincoln rd is awful, full of litter, atrocious driving, parking up on zig-zag lines, in pavements etc, scruffy shops and people, nothing like it was 20 yrs ago, such a shame. What you showed was lovely I agree.
Thank you for watching and commenting. This video was made during the lockdown (some clips from last year) I fully agree with you. Lincoln Rd requires special attention. Next time 🙂,
Lincoln road is where all the illegals congregate. It's not safe for young English women to walk down there anymore. Once upon a time (30 years ago) it was quite nice, even before that during the 70s, I've heard it was peaceful and you wouldn't find many questionable people there.
Lived in 8 cities in the UK over the past 15 years! There are a lot of good things in this city. I have lived and worked in worst cities in the uk and certain parts of the uk very much comparable to so called 3rd world!. Peterborough is way better and no where near those places in my view. Just wonder who would rate this the worst city and whatever criteria they have used to rate it seems pointless and unreliable. I have seen that most town centres are quiet and shabby in the UK anyways. The best thing in Peterborough is effortless driving without queues on the smooth parkways. There are a lot of green spaces and parks. Overall a good city to live in my view.
Thank you so much for watching and detailed comment! :) I made this video a year ago trying to say the same. I don't understand who votes negatively about Peterborough and why. Such a voting cannot be objective anyway. Statistics tells us that Peterborough data (crime, unemployment, expenses, etc) are not worse than in many other UK cities.
At last a positive comment on my home town. I left in 1992 . Can't get over how much has changed. So much better than it was when i was growing up there.
It has all the amenities and is definitely gentrifying in the city centre. Excellent parks and good walking infrastructure. Could do with a bit more culture (theatres aren't much supported) but it's a good little city and one of the fastest-growing in the UK! 😊
Thank you for watching and sharing your view! Just went across what is going on in the local theatres. Not too much unfortunately. Otherwise, city like many others:)
Unless you are a Peterborian, you will think that. Peterborough is like a siren, beautiful voice in the distance, nightmare up front. Peterborough grew in the wrong way, that's where the problem is.
I was born in London but I grew up in Peterborough. It’s very unfair for people to give Peterborough such a bad reputation but then they’ve probably never lived here. Peterborough has many charms and it comes under as being rural which is probably why we always get overlooked. It has a 3,000 year old history so Peterborough is older than London (my home town) including the Vikings. Peterborough is the same as anywhere. It has its nice places and not so nice places. I just think it needs a bit more TLC and a bloody good tidy up in places. Peterborough’s not so bad. There are far worse places to live than here❤❤❤
I have to admit some parts of Peterborough are rather grim especially in the suburbs. However altogether, it’s a a decent city centre particularly the cathedral. It’s only when the piss heads come out on a Saturday evening is when it gets daunting. There are however some nice areas to walk around outside the city centre too. I‘ve been to far worse places in the UK (e.g. King’s Lynn, Luton, Bedford, Stevenage, Telford, Hackney, Croydon, Birmingham, Doncaster, Bradford and Corby)
If you think Bedford is worse than Peterborough then you haven't spent enough time in Bedford. Only the town centre and the immediate south aren't great in Bedford. In Peterborough, the deprivation extends over large distances. Multiple districts are also in the 10% most deprived areas of the country. Not a single area in the city is in the 10% most affluent either (very unusual).
Thank you for comment. Yeah... but, you know, it's impossible to gather all things in one video. However, football club is one of the most important parts of Peterborough life.
I lived here all my life, a baby was killed 2 doors from my house 5 years ago, someone tried braking in my house I've got 2 friends and prison and witnessed one stabbed, no doubt has pretty places to look at but all in all shit hole
You have to experience Welland estate and eastgate plus paston and some of Orton's this video isn't entirely all about borough misses out a lot of stuff
I didn't hear that somebody couldn't find job in Peterborough. But I can't tell for sure that there are no problems with work. Two different schools that my kids attended are amazing. This is not just my own opinion but also my children's.
I'm from Brazil, moved to the UK 2 years ago, first to Gloucester a year later due to a job offer I moved to Peterborough! In my opinion, Peterborough is much better than Gloucester, especially surrounding areas. My home is in Orton Wistow, I love this area, nene park is awesome, neighbourhood quiet, loads of green areas everywhere! I really don't understand why Peterborough is considered the worst place to live in the UK
Your home is in Brazil , I’ll let you in on a secret as to why Britain is rapidly degrading and spiralling into a shitehole..... every year Britain is less Britain and more Brazil/India/ Morocco You should not be surprised if British people start trying to stop the threat that comes with you living here. There’s so many of you that soon you’ll outnumber British people
Orton Wistow and Nene Park are lovely, but a lot of the city is horrific. Try visiting Millfield, New England, Paston, Welland, Eastgate, Ravensthorpe, Westwood, Orton and Bretton...
@@002lisamarie your disrespectful comments are the reasons this city is getting worse, instead of working together to work for solutions for the benefit of everyone you just want to carry on hating and being nostalgic, yes this city is changing and rapidly developing but if we don't take care of it now and work together, your just gunna make it worse for your own family members of your future.
I live in Harpenden and we go to Peterborough occasionally as it is near Cambridge, where my dad works. If I’m being honest it’s not bad but it certainly isn’t good as there is a lot to be done and the place itself is a bit dead with some crime added in but if those issues were fixed than it would be a great place as the locals there are very chatty and it has a wonderful cathedral. So it doesn’t really deserve the reputation it gets
Thank you for sharing your view. Totally agree, the city is not as bed as many treat it. But, honestly, it could be better. I live here four years, and I'm starting to get a bit disappointed by how city center looks. As I walk there quite often, I always have to be careful where I'm stepping in... You know what I mean 🙂
Sure Peterborough isn't the best place to live but it certainly isn't the worst. I don't understand why people make it out to be so horrible. The videos you shared are what I love about it ❤️ so thank you
Have loved and lived in peterborough near most of my life... and have thought it was a bit dumpish .. but since watching this promotion film, I think peterborough has many attributes... and even though I was born a cockney ... I am also proud to be called a peterborourian ..... Harvey Perkoff ó
Thank you for watching sharing your memories. Nov, there are some areas where it's dangerous to go out in a dark time, and city centre disappointes as well.
WoW! What a great video! Thank you for sharing it with us! Peterborough looks so beautiful and modern now. It has changed beyond belief from the 1960's and 1970's, when i was born and raised there. I moved away, back in 1982, aged 20 years old, when i got married to my dear late hubby, Tony. Sadly my upbringing was very troubled to say the very least. I suffered a lot of bullying at home and at school. My Tony visited Peterborough, from Birmingham, in 1982 to go and see a mutual friend and that is how we met. A short time later we decided to leave as things were going from bad to worse with my so called parents and brother. I never looked back. Getting back to the video, the city really has changed so much, visually speaking. Thank you once again for this blast from the past. xxxxx
Thank you so much for sharing your story! It's so touching ❤️ Honestly speaking, this video produced a lot of opposite comments. Many people believe 80s was the best time for Peterborough. Unfortunately, the last few years Peterborough was voted as the worst place to live in the UK. And opposite, many people like Peterborough and quite happy to live in it. Thank you for watching 🙂
@@LetsexploreUKtogether You're very welcome. I should imagine people who have had differing upbringings/ life experiences, would view the city, in a totally different light, so a lot of it is to do with the beholder's experiences, which would colour their judgement of Peterborough. xxxx
It's not so much the city ,it's the people who go out there to stop any new projects that involve using land that they think it should not be touched.ferry meadows as an example,a climbing wall to be built there nowt to raise a concern yet certain groups tried to stop.now they are trying to stop our cities planned arena on an area of the embankment that is not used by anyone hardly.this will benefit thousands of pple not just posh,pop concerts,business use and alot more.it will actually make the area more appealing.bet there's alot more where certain groups are stopping enterprises and other events happening.
Because it's rated the worst peiPod just assume it's bad and don't even try to look up the best part s. Peterborough is lovely when you look in the right places.
I’m italian but I LOVE England and Peterborough is one of my favourite places in the UK. My dream would be to live there. Unfortunately I know It will remain a dream but I love seeing these kinds of videos. Seeing the city makes me really happy😊Thank you!!
Thank you so much for comment. The idea is to show that in every place we can find good and bad things. It depends on what kind of glasses we're wearing 'black' or 'pink'. 🙂
I think your thinking of breton Werrington because they are crap holes and parts of town but you've got to edmit Stanground and Hampton are nice and parts of Orton
@@bighoges9117 Parts of Stan and Hampton r bad. As well as Westwood, Welland, Westwood,New England, Paston, Eastfield, Eastgate, Millfield. Werrington is OK.
I was born and raised in Canada but my parents are from England and I’ve been back there many times… I’ve also been to Italy. My question is… what is it about England that you could possibly like??? There are a few pleasant and memorable places, but most of it is unimpressive and forgettable.
yep when you showed Bretton you only show the posh overpriced new housing .nice if you can afford it, also Orton Waterville not Orton itself. Bretton water park that never seems to be open to anybody ,despite being refurbished .
Unfortunately, yes. You are right. There are many areas in Peterborough where I would not want to have a house, even for free (if only to resell it immediately 😃) Thank you for watching and commenting! 🙂
@@LetsexploreUKtogether Yes, there are far worst places in England than Peterborough. Believe me, I lived there! I guess whoever wrote the article about Peterborough hasn't lived in many places.
Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂. Actually, I have another video about 'not pretty Peterborough'. You can find it here - th-cam.com/video/iQL4T7_aXao/w-d-xo.html
@@002lisamarie hey Lisa, I’m sorry - I don’t know Peterborough at all I knew 2 people that used to commute to London from there and made a vast assumption. Thanks for the info
Peterborough was THE place to go in the mid '80s. It was the first (I think) place in the region to have a massive shopping centre/mall. I know people would travel from Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Kings Lynn etc. to go round Queensgate. Seems far nicer than Coventry. That place is _really_ bad.
Many people say that 80s were the time for Peterborough. Never been to Coventry. So, can't say anything about that city. I know only that there is not bad University :) Thank you for visiting our channel and comment 🙂
@@LetsexploreUKtogether I lived & worked in Coventry for quite a few years. In the recent 10 years or so, many older buildings got knocked down for university buildings & accomodation. I suggest a visit when possible.
I grew up in Breton and didn’t see that! It’s run down so bad today. North Bretton, they bulldozed my school Bretton Woods it was so bad. Lived there from 1975 to 1992.
I've lived in Peterborough all my life the centre is an absolute shit hole now. I noticed on the the recording was maybe done at 7 am on a sunny Sunday morning? Full of nasties who are either small minded or hoodies thinking they are gangsters then going to sign on. Oh years ago great time had in the evenings at the weekends...joes garage...wayward frog.etc but that was over 30 years ago
I lived in Peterborough most of my life and I'm sorry to say I am very happy to now no longer live there if anybody knows Peterborough like they would agree with me 💯💯😂
I agree. I lived there for 12 plus years. From 1986 - 1999. There were good things about Peterborough but a lot of bad things about the place too. 75 percent of its inhabitants were truly awful people who were biased, loud, gobby, rude, arrogant, narrow minded, piss takers, tension seekers, time wasters, compulsive liars, shit stirrers, users, gossip mongers and rumor spreaders. The list goes on. Only 5 percent of them were intelligent whilst the rest of the 70 percent ranged from not very bright to being as thick as 2 planks. They were a night mare and they would give you a hard time if you're face didn't fit. And it wasn't just the unemployed thieves, it was the straight people at work too. I was glad to see the back of the place.
The entertainment in Peterborough wasn't that great either. The night clubs were average, the bands were just tribute acts imitateting the real thing or playing tunes they all heared as a teen-ager back in the 60s, 70s,80s and 90s and so on The only good thing that came out of that was scoring with women. There is worse places than Peterborough for entertainment though. But the best thing about Peterborough if you don't live there is don't get off the train when it stops there. Or if you're driving through then just stay for a day. But get out as soon as you can. Everyone knows each other there, if not directly then they know someone who dose know the other person. An other insane thing about Peterborough is that a lot of people would pretend to be something they're not. And they look stupid and pathetic. Yet they would think they were so cool. All dressed up and no where to go. Very boring and tiring people. Not to mention they were racist, sexists, and homophobic. They thought they were above and better than you at everything. They thought they knew it all and they thought the world owed them. They would pretend to be your friend and pretend to like then they would turn on you. That was the Peterborough I knew when I lived there. Half turned out to have mental health problems.
Very cool video however you forgot to include the different mosques of Peterborough which represents a large part of the community and has very interesting and unique architecture, which adds to the beauty of the city, unfortunately segregation From society and the local council have failed this city, nevertheless it's up to us to make a change and work together and really communicate and open new barriers of dialogue from various different communities. I am proud to be a Peterborian.
Thank you for comment:) Mosques are really beautiful, you're right. I didn't include worship places because they are so many and so different. Except for Cathedral, but it's because cathedral is touristic attraction as well. You mentioned segregation. Unfortunately, you are right. Segregation is visible to anyone if you just dive deeper in Millfield.
Mosques and churches in Peterborough are really beautiful. I didn't show worship places so not to upset any part of the diverse Peterborough community. Exception - the Cathedral because it is not just worship place but also touristic attraction. Thank you for comment 🙂

It's a nice place but the people are awful. Heavily Conservative, racist and Brexit supporting combined with being poorly educated and there being almost exclusively low paid / low skilled jobs in the city. It's like a city Sans enlightenment with opportunity taken out for good measure. I own 2 rentals there, my dad's old place where I grew up and another. Both in bretton. My tenants are nice but the people they live next to are the worst. I now live in crystal palace, London. Way better.
Thank you for sharing your view. Bretton actually is not the best area to live in. At least part of it. To me, you're right in many aspects. But similar picture we can see around whole the UK. From my own experience (I travel a lot), even cities that we think are best of the best can surprise us in the most disgusting way. Anyway, thank you for watching and commenting 🙂
Bretton is interesting as it's representative of the ortons, Westwood, east field and so on. Anything built in the 60s and 70s by the development corporation.
Yes the city centre looks nice, but that's about it. The city centre itself however is very tiny and the rest of Peterborough looks like shit. Why don't you film Lincoln road or the rest of the city? Literally all the best parts of the town is shown in this video.
peterborough’s definitely not the worst, but it’s lacking for stuff for us who are younger. hopefully the new library that’s being built can add something new to the area as well as the cinema!
I live here in Peterborough and it’s a greatttt place honestly I’d rate Peterborough a solid 7.5 in my opinion Birmingham is the worst as it is extremely extremely dirty like holy moly macaroni lol but anyways bye lol
Thank you for sharing your view. After all these "rankings" I was looking for data about living in Peterborough, and found that this city is definitely not the worst place in UK. At least, according the statistics.
From South Africa, and I've visited Peterborough several times. It really is a great place, and if I could choose where to live, it'd definitely be Peterborough. Also in general England has amazing cathedrals, castles and city centres, boggled my mind everytime I went there

I've lived in Peterborough all my life love the place could not live anywhere èlse great people great city its like any other city has its could parts and has its crap parts
Totally agree with you. As a person who lives in Peterborough and travel a lot around the UK (and outside the UK), I can confirm that Peterborough is like many many other cities.This year Aylesbury has been voted as the worst place to live, and its residents also don't understand why. Thank you for watching! 🙂
Every city has its rough bit's. We've lived here for 38 years. When we go back to visit family in Medway or South London there's no way we would want to go back to live there. Yes the city has changed and not for the better but it's much better than an awful lot of other places.
My sister lives in South London and it's spotless compared to this place. What other places do you think it's better than. This country must be an absolute hellhole.

Which is the best part?
Went to Peterborough yesterday to watch a football match. The town centre is great, the cathedral is incredible, it has great pubs... on the river, great transport connections and countryside nearby. What more could you want. It’s diverse and possibly has issues with integration but with time I think more people will value Peterborough for what it is rather than blindly label it as a poor mans Cambridge

There could be, but the people don't support our little Key Theatre, let alone lovely shops that have now disappeared. They only seem to want Pound shops and cheap family shops thats why. The corporation have tried to make it nice, but louts damage it. They should be fined at source, then it stands a chance. We all need to play our part with improving the standard ie litter and graphetti.

Thank you for comment. Agree with your. It was published couple of years ago that Peterborough is one of the worst cities in England. In the comments to this video we can see that people have very different views on this question.
I grew up in Peterborough in the 70s and 80s and it was an exciting place to live then but its not so much the buildings it's the people that live in them nowadays
I'm happy in Scotland out the way
You are absolutely right. It's people doing all the atmosphere. But, there still are really pleasant parts of the city. And, of course, disgusting and even dangerous areas. In overall, Peterborough is like many other cities, contrasting. Thanks for comment :)
that’s a lie, peterborough was made in the late 90’s
How old are you!?
@@notstephennn Check out on google...Roy Kinnear the Peterborough Effect... Adverts from the early 1980's... I moved to the Ortons, back in 1986... It was definitely the place to be back then.... Sadly, seems to be more like the Alamo nowadays...?
The vending machine in the bus garage is especially impressive. Less so is the fact that some rocket scientist had the notion that pouring concrete all over the city centre and building a shopping centre in front of an undeniably beautiful cathedral was a good idea. There are some pockets of nice areas - Ferry Meadows, Orton Waterville, Botolph Green - but the city centre is an absolute khazi.
Thank you for watching and sharing your view. Honestly, after two years of creation of this vid I see Peterborough in a different light.
A rocket scientist poured concrete?
I was born in Peterborough in 1993 and I currently live in Japan. I do not think it is the worst city in England, but I do believe there are many issues that need to be fixed. I remember going there two years ago and comparing it to what it was when I was a child, to be honest I was somewhat disappointed. Drugs, filth on the streets, lots of crazy people about. But hey, home is home. Thank you for uploading these type of videos, it truly brings back nostalgia and memories.
Thank you for comment. You are right, there are a lot of problems in Peterborough, and I see them every day. I tried to show that we can focus not only on problems but on good things as well.
It's an absolute hellhole now thanks to New Labours uncontrolled immigration policies...
Tough to compete with/compare to Japan

In this weather everything looks boring. Thanks for sharing your view 🙂
I can see at the time you took this, there were few people about, that's what ruins it unfortunately. Lincoln rd is awful, full of litter, atrocious driving, parking up on zig-zag lines, in pavements etc, scruffy shops and people, nothing like it was 20 yrs ago, such a shame.
What you showed was lovely I agree.
Thank you for watching and commenting. This video was made during the lockdown (some clips from last year) I fully agree with you. Lincoln Rd requires special attention. Next time 🙂,
Lincoln road is where all the illegals congregate. It's not safe for young English women to walk down there anymore. Once upon a time (30 years ago) it was quite nice, even before that during the 70s, I've heard it was peaceful and you wouldn't find many questionable people there.
Yes... EVERYWHERE looks nice, when there is nobody around....
Lived in 8 cities in the UK over the past 15 years! There are a lot of good things in this city. I have lived and worked in worst cities in the uk and certain parts of the uk very much comparable to so called 3rd world!. Peterborough is way better and no where near
those places in my view. Just wonder who would rate this the worst city and whatever criteria they have used to rate it seems pointless and unreliable. I have seen that most town centres are quiet and shabby in the UK anyways. The best thing in Peterborough is effortless driving without queues on the smooth parkways. There are a lot of green spaces and parks. Overall a good city to live in my view.
Thank you so much for watching and detailed comment! :) I made this video a year ago trying to say the same. I don't understand who votes negatively about Peterborough and why. Such a voting cannot be objective anyway. Statistics tells us that Peterborough data (crime, unemployment, expenses, etc) are not worse than in many other UK cities.
At last a positive comment on my home town. I left in 1992 . Can't get over how much has changed. So much better than it was when i was growing up there.
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories! :)
Oh how much I agree! Peterborough is lovely, a beautiful cathedral and really nice square with some nice architecture says it all!
Cathedral is really beautiful. You're right. Also, a lot of history is there and around the city. Thanks for watching 🙂
It has all the amenities and is definitely gentrifying in the city centre. Excellent parks and good walking infrastructure. Could do with a bit more culture (theatres aren't much supported) but it's a good little city and one of the fastest-growing in the UK! 😊
Thank you for watching and sharing your view! Just went across what is going on in the local theatres. Not too much unfortunately. Otherwise, city like many others:)
Unless you are a Peterborian, you will think that. Peterborough is like a siren, beautiful voice in the distance, nightmare up front. Peterborough grew in the wrong way, that's where the problem is.
I just came back from Carlisle... Sure, there are places worse than Peterborough.
I was born in London but I grew up in Peterborough. It’s very unfair for people to give Peterborough such a bad reputation but then they’ve probably never lived here. Peterborough has many charms and it comes under as being rural which is probably why we always get overlooked. It has a 3,000 year old history so Peterborough is older than London (my home town) including the Vikings. Peterborough is the same as anywhere. It has its nice places and not so nice places. I just think it needs a bit more TLC and a bloody good tidy up in places. Peterborough’s not so bad. There are far worse places to live than here❤❤❤
Agree with you. And it definitely need some proper tidy up! :) thank you for watching and commenting!
Peterborough has an excellent and comprehensive network of cycleways, the Green Wheel. Possibly the best in England.
O, yes! You're right 🙂. Thank you for watching!
I have to admit some parts of Peterborough are rather grim especially in the suburbs. However altogether, it’s a a decent city centre particularly the cathedral. It’s only when the piss heads come out on a Saturday evening is when it gets daunting. There are however some nice areas to walk around outside the city centre too. I‘ve been to far worse places in the UK (e.g. King’s Lynn, Luton, Bedford, Stevenage, Telford, Hackney, Croydon, Birmingham, Doncaster, Bradford and Corby)
Thank you for comment. Totally agree with you. Some areas are not nice at all. But in overall, it's quite acceptable place to live in 🙂
@Hawk Eye I’m so sorry
Peterborough is top 15 for crime bro so it’s worse then most places on there
If you think Bedford is worse than Peterborough then you haven't spent enough time in Bedford. Only the town centre and the immediate south aren't great in Bedford. In Peterborough, the deprivation extends over large distances. Multiple districts are also in the 10% most deprived areas of the country. Not a single area in the city is in the 10% most affluent either (very unusual).
I live in Peterborough and it makes me sad when people say Peterborough the worsg
I live in Peterborough too. Of course, Peterborough is not the ideal, but it not the worst.

How is work and school for kids?
I didn't hear that somebody couldn't find job in Peterborough. But I can't tell for sure that there are no problems with work. Two different schools that my kids attended are amazing. This is not just my own opinion but also my children's.
I'm from Brazil, moved to the UK 2 years ago, first to Gloucester a year later due to a job offer I moved to Peterborough! In my opinion, Peterborough is much better than Gloucester, especially surrounding areas. My home is in Orton Wistow, I love this area, nene park is awesome, neighbourhood quiet, loads of green areas everywhere! I really don't understand why Peterborough is considered the worst place to live in the UK
Hi. You've got nice area to live in 🙂. Orton is awesome. Ferry Meadows is one of my favourite places. Thank you for visiting and comment 🙂❤️
Your home is in Brazil , I’ll let you in on a secret as to why Britain is rapidly degrading and spiralling into a shitehole..... every year Britain is less Britain and more Brazil/India/ Morocco

@@isaacharkton6169 He is a white, educated Brazilian and is probably beneficial to the country.
Orton Wistow and Nene Park are lovely, but a lot of the city is horrific. Try visiting Millfield, New England, Paston, Welland, Eastgate, Ravensthorpe, Westwood, Orton and Bretton...
@@002lisamarie your disrespectful comments are the reasons this city is getting worse, instead of working together to work for solutions for the benefit of everyone you just want to carry on hating and being nostalgic, yes this city is changing and rapidly developing but if we don't take care of it now and work together, your just gunna make it worse for your own family members of your future.

Yeah, you are right. It's just short run through Peterborough. Many places excluded... Saved for next time :)
And Millfield, New England, Welland, Eastgate, Eastfield, Bretton, Westwood, Ravensthorpe, Orton...
I live in Harpenden and we go to Peterborough occasionally as it is near Cambridge, where my dad works. If I’m being honest it’s not bad but it certainly isn’t good as there is a lot to be done and the place itself is a bit dead with some crime added in but if those issues were fixed than it would be a great place as the locals there are very chatty and it has a wonderful cathedral. So it doesn’t really deserve the reputation it gets
Thank you for sharing your view. Totally agree, the city is not as bed as many treat it. But, honestly, it could be better. I live here four years, and I'm starting to get a bit disappointed by how city center looks. As I walk there quite often, I always have to be careful where I'm stepping in... You know what I mean 🙂
Sure Peterborough isn't the best place to live but it certainly isn't the worst. I don't understand why people make it out to be so horrible. The videos you shared are what I love about it ❤️ so thank you

WoW! What a great video! Thank you for sharing it with us! Peterborough looks so beautiful and modern now. It has changed beyond belief from the 1960's and 1970's, when i was born and raised there. I moved away, back in 1982, aged 20 years old, when i got married to my dear late hubby, Tony. Sadly my upbringing was very troubled to say the very least. I suffered a lot of bullying at home and at school. My Tony visited Peterborough, from Birmingham, in 1982 to go and see a mutual friend and that is how we met. A short time later we decided to leave as things were going from bad to worse with my so called parents and brother. I never looked back. Getting back to the video, the city really has changed so much, visually speaking. Thank you once again for this blast from the past. xxxxx
Thank you so much for sharing your story! It's so touching ❤️ Honestly speaking, this video produced a lot of opposite comments. Many people believe 80s was the best time for Peterborough. Unfortunately, the last few years Peterborough was voted as the worst place to live in the UK. And opposite, many people like Peterborough and quite happy to live in it. Thank you for watching 🙂
@@LetsexploreUKtogether You're very welcome. I should imagine people who have had differing upbringings/ life experiences, would view the city, in a totally different light, so a lot of it is to do with the beholder's experiences, which would colour their judgement of Peterborough. xxxx

It's a terrible place now due to uncontrolled immigration. This just makes it look nice.
It's not so much the city ,it's the people who go out there to stop any new projects that involve using land that they think it should not be touched.ferry meadows as an example,a climbing wall to be built there nowt to raise a concern yet certain groups tried to stop.now they are trying to stop our cities planned arena on an area of the embankment that is not used by anyone hardly.this will benefit thousands of pple not just posh,pop concerts,business use and alot more.it will actually make the area more appealing.bet there's alot more where certain groups are stopping enterprises and other events happening.

Peterborough was THE place to go in the mid '80s. It was the first (I think) place in the region to have a massive shopping centre/mall.
I know people would travel from Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Kings Lynn etc. to go round Queensgate.

I lived in Peterborough most of my life and I'm sorry to say I am very happy to now no longer live there if anybody knows Peterborough like they would agree with me 💯💯😂
Thank you for comment. Unfortunately, many people think the same. The city changes :(
I agree. I lived there for 12 plus years. From 1986 - 1999. There were good things about Peterborough but a lot of bad things about the place too. 75 percent of its inhabitants were truly awful people who were biased, loud, gobby, rude, arrogant, narrow minded, piss takers, tension seekers, time wasters, compulsive liars, shit stirrers, users, gossip mongers and rumor spreaders. The list goes on.
Only 5 percent of them were intelligent whilst the rest of the 70 percent ranged from not very bright to being as thick as 2 planks. They were a night mare and they would give you a hard time if you're face didn't fit.
And it wasn't just the unemployed thieves, it was the straight people at work too. I was glad to see the back of the place.
The entertainment in Peterborough wasn't that great either. The night clubs were average, the bands were just tribute acts imitateting the real thing or playing tunes they all heared as a teen-ager back in the 60s, 70s,80s and 90s and so on
The only good thing that came out of that was scoring with women. There is worse places than Peterborough for entertainment though. But the best thing about Peterborough if you don't live there is don't get off the train when it stops there. Or if you're driving through then just stay for a day. But get out as soon as you can. Everyone knows each other there, if not directly then they know someone who dose know the other person. An other insane thing about Peterborough is that a lot of people would pretend to be something they're not. And they look stupid and pathetic. Yet they would think they were so cool. All dressed up and no where to go. Very boring and tiring people. Not to mention they were racist, sexists, and homophobic. They thought they were above and better than you at everything. They thought they knew it all and they thought the world owed them. They would pretend to be your friend and pretend to like then they would turn on you. That was the Peterborough I knew when I lived there. Half turned out to have mental health problems.
Very cool video however you forgot to include the different mosques of Peterborough which represents a large part of the community and has very interesting and unique architecture, which adds to the beauty of the city, unfortunately segregation From society and the local council have failed this city, nevertheless it's up to us to make a change and work together and really communicate and open new barriers of dialogue from various different communities. I am proud to be a Peterborian.
Thank you for comment:) Mosques are really beautiful, you're right. I didn't include worship places because they are so many and so different. Except for Cathedral, but it's because cathedral is touristic attraction as well. You mentioned segregation. Unfortunately, you are right. Segregation is visible to anyone if you just dive deeper in Millfield.
You forgot to show all the Mosques and the streets were it’s hard to spot another English face.
Mosques and churches in Peterborough are really beautiful. I didn't show worship places so not to upset any part of the diverse Peterborough community. Exception - the Cathedral because it is not just worship place but also touristic attraction. Thank you for comment 🙂

It's a nice place but the people are awful. Heavily Conservative, racist and Brexit supporting combined with being poorly educated and there being almost exclusively low paid / low skilled jobs in the city. It's like a city Sans enlightenment with opportunity taken out for good measure.
I own 2 rentals there, my dad's old place where I grew up and another. Both in bretton. My tenants are nice but the people they live next to are the worst.

From my own experience (I travel a lot), even cities that we think are best of the best can surprise us in the most disgusting way. Anyway, thank you for watching and commenting 🙂

I live here in Peterborough and it’s a greatttt place honestly I’d rate Peterborough a solid 7.5 in my opinion Birmingham is the worst as it is extremely extremely dirty like holy moly macaroni lol but anyways bye lol
Thank you for sharing your view. After all these "rankings" I was looking for data about living in Peterborough, and found that this city is definitely not the worst place in UK. At least, according the statistics.
@@LetsexploreUKtogether yeah honestly it’s a lovely city I don’t know why people say it’s the worst
@@shadowtech8113 no idea as well. We live in Peterborough and cannot tell anything bad. Quite opposite :)
You didn't mention the best football team in the land Peterborough United. UP THE POSH :)
Yeah, it's a mistake. I just realised when video been already published. Thanks for watching :) PU team is fantastic!
From South Africa, and I've visited Peterborough several times. It really is a great place, and if I could choose where to live, it'd definitely be Peterborough. Also in general England has amazing cathedrals, castles and city centres, boggled my mind everytime I went there
Absolutely agree with you. We're from the North Europe. And we continue to discover every day how beautiful England is! Thank you for visiting our channel and commenting :)
Its not the worst in England, its the uk
Thanks for comment.
Amazing Place
thanks for sharing
Thanks for visiting 🙂
Nope.
Lol
I live there 7 years! Wonderful city! I love Peterborough!
Thank you for comment 🙂. I agree with you. Peterborough is lovely!
I live there near the city center
Why?
@@LetsexploreUKtogether Have you ever been to Eastgate, Millfield, New England, Paston, Orton, Westwood, Ravensthorpe or Eastfield?!
@@002lisamarie i leave in Millfield, Alexandra road
I used to live in peterbough but now we have moved to Norfolk and I like both of them a lot 😄
Thank you for comment :) Norfolk is lovely. I like all the see side's towns and villages. Cromer, Hunstanton, Brancaster, etc. Recently we've been to Castle Acre (video available on the channel) 🙂
Grew up in Peterborough70-80s moved to Norfolk in the 90’s. Not looked back.
Its like baghdad or kabul but WORSE
OMG 🙄
You visit somewhere for a few hours and upload a vid in defence of the undefendable . Scartch the thin veneer and try to understand the reason why pboro is the worse city in uk
@@anniechrisbendy6000 I know... as I live in pboro, and always avoid getting to disgusting areas like around the central library 😀
@@anniechrisbendy6000 I'm living in P'boro. This vid was kind of joke at that time. But after two years since I uploaded it, I don't think Pboro is a hole. It's not the best of course, but it also not the worst. City center and some areas are really bad, but at the same time, there are enjoyable things as well... Don't you agree?
People are speaking bullshit about Peterborough They only look at the city
Thanks for comment :)
No joke I moved here last Thursday and I already seen a dead body
I hope, not on the street...
@@LetsexploreUKtogether yup the bus accident on the 14th I saw the aftermath in west town
@@scg4201 that's crazy :(
Nice place, thank you for sharing❤
Thank you 🙂
The only good thing about Peterborough is the road out
Honestly, after almost two years after I uploaded this video, I start to rethink about the city....
I've lived in Peterborough all my life love the place could not live anywhere èlse great people great city its like any other city has its could parts and has its crap parts
Totally agree with you. As a person who lives in Peterborough and travel a lot around the UK (and outside the UK), I can confirm that Peterborough is like many many other cities.This year Aylesbury has been voted as the worst place to live, and its residents also don't understand why. Thank you for watching! 🙂
Every city has its rough bit's. We've lived here for 38 years. When we go back to visit family in Medway or South London there's no way we would want to go back to live there. Yes the city has changed and not for the better but it's much better than an awful lot of other places.
Absolutely agree with you. Thank you for visiting and comment 🙂
My sister lives in South London and it's spotless compared to this place. What other places do you think it's better than. This country must be an absolute hellhole.
Looks very nice. Beautifull cathedral
Thank you so much for cooment :) Yeah, Cathedral is really huge and impressive. Unfortunately, it is closed during this time
