2 years later, I’ve gone back!!! Click here to see how it was!! th-cam.com/video/CMMcyviEv08/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4Nyy_SueQLhO_ES8
You missed Lincoln Road, the greatest attraction of the city 😂
😭😭😭😭
He should of gone Burley Road
@@FatzPe2 some sweet ones down there
@@samuelsequerah-salmon1047 hahahaha go there u gonna catch all the stds like Pokémon gotta catch ‘em all bro 😂😂😂
Lincoln Road is the best 😅
Did you know the guy who founded pizza express was from Peterborough. And he was the first person to import Peroni to the uk.
Lived in 8 cities in the UK over the last 15 years! There are a lot of good things in this city. Just walking around in the town centre on a rainy Tuesday is not the best way to rate any UK city and I have seen that most town centres are quiet and shabby in the UK. 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 best city to live in my view.
It raining certainly didn’t help. It wasn’t that bad of a city, it lacks some personality in sectors but not that bad of a place to live.
Rain is verry good cause its fresh also you hve fresh air from it also the weather is nice cause the uk is meant for rain
Lived in Birmingham for 8 months (that's how long I could cope) and peterborough is beautiful in comparison!
Yes I'm peterborian lol
We also lived in Peterborough for 5 years in Orton Southgate where was very nice and quite
Don't know why they rate Peterborough as a worst town in UK
For us was ok😊
looks like a pretty place to me
I spent my teenage years just outside Peterborough, way back in the 1970's. Back then it was utterly dire. After 5pm on a Friday night it was dead, with empty streets and no where to go except the Bull Hotel where we would go and spend the evening. It has improved over the years considerably, and I would say is in every respect a much better place. I still go back to visit friends when I can.
Take your bikes next time, best cycle network of any city and the famous Green Wheel.
Fab Thai food at Charters, which is a huge barge on the River Nene. On the same barge is a great pub serving Oakham Beers which are made in the City. I guess you guys are a bit young to drink, but you could always get a Coke or something and at least soak up the atmosphere.
Was that Pizza Express you went in? Started by a bloke from Peterborough called Peter Boizot.
Might be an idea to do some research next time.
Correct, I was thinking the same. Bike around and pop to some independant pubs and cafes. Weird video!
I really enjoy going to QueensGate and the only reason that it wasn't a good is that the shops were still being restocked with everything which took a while becauseof a lack of lorry drivers which temporarily forced most of the shops to shut. As well as that, there was construction on what is now an arcade and a mini golf. Overall it is a great shopping centre and after countless hours of walking around it I can tell you that it isn't nearly as bad as you think it is. As well as that, there is a McDonald's at one of the exitd
Cathedral and museum are the highlights for me, I'm more into history than shopping around - even though admittedly there are some good shops in the centre. Months back, I chatted with one fellow at the bus station, he was actually a barefooter (all weathers!) and he told me that every Saturday, during the late 90's, he enjoyed going to Peterborough on the train. On occasion he met up with family and they all went to an antiques shop down one of the streets (he'd long forgotten the name of the street). Caught sight of him every now and then, but haven't seen him for a while, sadly.
It's not a bad city, it's just there is better
I have lived in Peterborough 8 years and you have not seen the whole of Peterborough and yet you call it one of the worst city's we have the most historic places in Peterborough and no town center is never that quite It is always thriving crowds of people walk through town and go to the embankment witch is the river, come near Christmas time and you will see how busy Peterborough really is and next time your here take the time to visit all of the historic buildings and read up the history of Peterborough as well
I don't enjoy the history of things, that's not why I visit.. I went for a day trip and found it pretty boring, there wasn't as many interesting shops as Leeds for example.
Peterborough&its people are very down to earth,it's not there fault there's no work, a bookmakers on every corner&a magistrates stuck in the town, &a prison
There are tons more stuff to do in Peterborough but honestly it depends what time you go to town. It's an amazing place if you think about it.
Everywhere has its bad and good sides, maybe we just saw the bad sides?
i was born there what tons more stuff is there to do 60 yrs on im totally up to finding out anything about my birth place in its current state other than feeling loathing for the council allowing to get like the dustbin it is
It isn't because there is no Night Life except for the bottom of Broadway.
What the hell 😂 you didn't even go anywhere in Peterborough. You just stayed in town 🤦.
Would you go to London as a tourist and go to the outskirts?
@@LoganSpooner you just been to the city mate, there is a lot to see in Peterborough. Come again when the weather is good.
@@LoganSpooner and those nice places are not outskirt they are within peterborough, I get it you are from London, I lived in London but Prefer to be here in Peterborough because it is a small city, whenever I go to London I hate it.
What’s good about videos like this is I’ve just visited Peterborough without leaving the comfort of my own home.
Amazing, thank you mate!
You really haven't!
Best way to do it. It's a dump.
I used to live in Peterborough, leaving is the best decision of my life.
I've lived in Peterborough all my life and I cannot for the life of me think its ranked as the worst city to live as I can think or others that are way worst. Peterborough isn't too bad of a place to live, but this video didn't really show the best parts and worst parts of the city and you really need a local to help you. I go to Cambridge a lot and always compare the two and the one big difference between the cities is Cambridges links to academia that makes it very attractive, on a local live I see the same types of people I would get in Peterborough, both cities have great local conservation areas to explore, Peterborogh's biggest failing is its nightlife it lacks anything really special, aside from that I think you need to really explore the place to judge it for being labelled the worst. And its weird as more and more companies are coming here to set up shop, More and more people are moving here from more expensive cities due to its location and ease of access to the big cities this link shows some good point of Peterborough th-cam.com/video/1lkYJm5FWFE/w-d-xo.html
But they are now getting rid of the event area so its getting worser :/
You can't even put Peterborough and Cambridge in the same sentence. Peterborough is grey, dirty, depressing. Cambridge is full of life, vibrant, exciting.
@@gmuney2680 but I can if you actually spent the time to explore the whole city you might see there is more to the city and I live between both cities and actually I know what I am talking about. And grey dirty depressing sounds as you've only been on Lincoln Road which is like St Andrews street in Cambridge
Peterborough is a bad place. There are worse places but it's been ruined by uncontrolled immigration, has lots of chavs, weirdos and mentally ill people and virtually no middle class people in the whole city. Lots of awful areas and crap schools. Crap shopping and nightlife. Terrible council. Litter and flytipping everywhere. Homeless, druggies and drunks everywhere. New hospital but it's only big enough for half the city. What a dump.
@@chrisyoungdesign1342 Grey, Dirty and depressing applies to most of the city. Orton Goldhay, Orton Malbourne, Bretton, Westwood, Ravensthorpe, Eastgate, Eastfield, Paston, Welland, Millfield, New England. Stop pretending it's a nice place. It's not.
PETERBOROUGH IS AMAZING!! DONT U DARE SAY ITS THE WORST!I live there! The weather is probs a bit bad but over all its great! Confusing for Americans alot. Also the weird chair place is I think called 'Town', I've been there before. Alot. It's good, normally busy. There are lots of things to do. Pls don't say 3 or 4 or 2 or 1 or smth. It rained and you came at the wrong time on the wrong month. Its offensive to the true peterboroughs like me, haven't even been to Ferry Meadows yet.
Unlucky
Great video Logan ,I think the problem with Peterborough is that ,cathedral aside the shopping centre is just the same chain stores you see in every town Boots ,WH Smith's ,Waterstones Bookshop probably as a New Town expanded greatly from the 1970s you won't find old streets full of independent shops like York 🙂
York aint nice, its depressingly old
I've visited Peterborough a few times and it's quite a nice place. There are many much worse places to live and visit in the UK.
The cathedral is fantastic, but the town has nothing to offer beside it. Its an unmissable stop for someone who wants to see every cathedral in the country, for anyone else its pointless. Theres not much else historic around, so you dont really get the same feeling as you would at Durham, York, or Norwich.
The best thing you can do in Peterborough is get into a fight with 1 or 2 members of the towers of London.
Not sure I fancy a fight I can't lie
Last time I went to Peterborough, it almost felt like what I've always imagined the 80's looked like
I am confused, you went to a very small part of the city centre and to the cathedral and you've seen Peterborough? Please guys go have another look. Peterborough has its very bad but also has very good. As for shops closed down that is a nationwide problem.
Three vacuous children walk around Peterborough, but without actually having anything to compare it to, except the stabbing capital of the UK, Nottingham.
Mostly they talk about the weather and about their own poorly made travel plans.
Peterborough isn’t the only place we’ve ever been. Also, we spoke about the town and the lack of anything to do. (Tho our travel plans weren’t great)
@No Name
It's a fun video. Their travel plans were fine, it's just the trains that let them down. Why call them vacuous? They seem like pretty decent lads to me.
if you know what you're doing, where you're going, etc, there's a ton more to do and see. didn't help it was raining so it probably looked a lot worse than it is. i live in peterborough and i've definitely been in worse places
great video though, you are really uunderrated! Thats a sub from me
Thanks for the tips! The rain wasn't nice to say the least and the delayed train didn't help either, but I'm such there is more too do
You guys didn't even leave the city centre. Central Park is within walking distance. You can catch a stream train to Ferry Meadows Country Park. There's Flag Fen archaeology park, Railworld, and far more interesting places to eat than a national pizza chain
The whole place seemed abit dull, it was raining so we didn’t want to spend a lot of time outdoors. I think I’ll head back in the summer to see if it’s any better a year later.
@@LoganSpooner So maybe don't post a video that's basically a review of a place you didn't make any effort to look around?
I mean we walked around the city centre, after doing research and there was pretty much nothing of interest to put in the video
Now let me see; worst cities for crime, in no particular order: Nottingham, Doncaster, Bradford, Teeside, and Birmingham. Peterborough nowhere near these
Lincoln Road, Orton, Paston, Westwood, Eastfield, Fengate etc are all great places, just don’t go alone or in the dark lol 🤪
😅😅
...Let's not forget that serene and peaceful part of Peterborough. With fly rocks and bricks, infected needles etc.
The good old ...Welland Estate!
Fine if you own a house with a ten foot tall garden wall topped off with razor wire and go to work in an armoured vehicle dressed in your best body armour. ...God, I love Peterborough ♥️👍
Got out this hole 8 years ago and moved to new zealand..never understood people that hate where they live but do nothing about it
I’m sure they’re many reasons that they don’t move (eg. job family etc)
"Worst cities" always relates to the estates and surrounding areas rather than the actual city center
HEY IM OFFENDED!! YOU SHOULDN'T HATE PETERBOROUGH ITS BETTER THAN WHAT YOU ARE LIVING!
Don't understand why this place is voted worst in the UK, it's clean and looks rather nice, not bad if it was a town but as a city there's not really a lot there, there are definitely a lot worse places
I can see why it’s rated the worse but sometimes you think it’s not actually that bad, it might be the residents that think it’s so bad
This is a very poor video. You cannot judge a city by whether the trains are late and whether it is raining when you visit!
What were the video makers expecting to find that they did not find? What characteristics do they consider a city should have to make it a "good city"? None of this is discussed.
It’s not we live here and love it. Affordable and less crimes and clean
That’s fair.. it’s not that bad
@Fat man eating a pie on the bench football club no I live there it’s nice passion and gunthorepe are the worst
I LIVE HERE AND ITS THE BEST CITY EVER I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE MAKE SUCH A FUSS ABOUT IT LIKE HONESTLY
opinions are opinions 🤷♂️
@@LoganSpooner yh shush man
If you had gone to the museum you could have seen the original Victorian operating theatre which has been kept as it was back in the day. You could also have visited the Nene Valley Railway and gone into Railworld while you were there. Please come back and see those places. Nene Valley Railway are crying out for people to visit as since Covid they have been very hard hit . They need as many visitors as possible to keep it running.
Wholeheartedly agree. So many hidden gems.
we cant help that it was raining
You went to 2 places on a rainy day on a Tuesday in town when there was no event going on, we have ferry meadows city park serpentine green, key theatre and river banks, another theatre showcase cinema oh and puttstars up in queensgate, a bowling alley and the rest and great access links to the rest of the country, house prices aren’t going up here for nothing, there’s much worse places.
Live very close to Peterborough and trust me it’s fairly sad, but far far worse is Boston
Peterborough really isn't that bad, there isn't that much there but there are definitely worse places in the UK.
I’ve visited Peterborough and absolutely loved the cathedral too, it’s certainly a very important building; for example it has the oldest and largest medieval wooden ceiling surviving in Europe (around 1200 AD). I didn’t have time to explore much of the city at all, as I only came to see the cathedral, but I did absolutely love the other two Cambridgeshire cities of Cambridge and Ely (both extremely charming and filled with tonnes of beautiful historic architecture). I am surprised though that people feel Peterborough is the worst… I didn’t get that impression myself.
Don’t get me wrong, there is stuff to do but nowhere as much as any other city!
@@JungleBabaNick Sorry but that’s a very good thing. Modern architecture is a blight on the landscape, and skyscrapers/ tower blocks are NOT welcome in Cathedral cities. If I had the power, I would tear every last one of them down in London, and build in their place buildings that actually blend in with the surrounding historic architecture. “Modern” glass and steel skylines are for bland and soulless North American cities (that have next to no history), and are not suited to Europe. That’s how I feel anyway.
@@tamaracarter1836 You loved the cathedral? Do you like all scams or just capitalism's religion scam? It's an important building is it? For people who believe in fairies, maybe, but hardly for sane people. Unless you like exploiting the ignorant and the poor?
@@Neil_MALTHUS I didn’t even mention religion in my comment. I suggest you read it again.
Fact is that Peterborough born n bred folk (silver tops) have moved out in their thousands to safer, quieter, prettier areas. Hence its inner city areas are now run down dumps where the words lawnmower and lick of paint are now redundant.
The city centre didn’t look too bad, didn’t get to see many of the estates
@@LoganSpooner yes to be fair the shopping centre is looking good and kept well, thanks.
@@LoganSpooner the whole city is basically a estate lol orton pastom Westwood Welland bretton
You went to Pizza Express. The founder Peter Boizot was born and bred in Peterborough.
Boizot founded PizzaExpress in 1965, after having worked in Europe for ten years and noticing that he was unable to eat an authentic pizza slice in London. Boizot floated PizzaExpress on the London Stock Exchange in 1993 but remained president.
His first restaurant opened in Wardour Street, Soho, London, to much acclaim, with a second PizzaExpress opening in 1967. He was also the first to import Peroni into the UK. Boizot's empire grew quickly because of its authentic Italian taste and unique artistic approach.
The best part is we didn’t even plan to go to PizzaExpress, it was a complete fluke. really interesting information though!!!
Actually apart from about 15% of places including London most the place is boring and pretty depressing and the weather is mainly to blame not to mention the long dark nights where it can be dark by 3pm - no wonder a lot of the people are take some kind of drug / medication 😞
Peterborough, in my opinion, is NOT the worst city in the UK! I've been there yesterday, and I loved it! It has a really nice cathedral, very well connected to London and many other great UK cities (such as York), a lovely square and beautiful architecture! Ok, sure Queensgate Shopping Centre isn't appealing, but you can't judge the entire city based just on one thing.
One really good thing is the train station! it’s very well-connected with different train companies serving it, The cathedral was also really nice!!
It has lots of awful areas like Orton Goldhay, Orton Malbourne, Bretton, Westwood, Ravensthorpe, Eastgate, Eastfield, Paston, Millfield, New England etc. Visit some of them and you will change your mind.
@@002lisamarie everywhere has awful areas
@@gabrielstravels Not everywhere.
@@002lisamariemost cities do... places like Oxford and Cambridge have really shtty areas, Peterbrough has its fair share, but I live on tbe outskirts... within a 5 minute walk I can see the cities symphony orchestra at the local school theatre, I can go to a great comedy night in the function room in a pub 10 mins away... last night we saw a awesome gig at another function room nearby with 6 bands playing... in Nov UK Subs are playing at The Parkway club 15 min walk away... So yunno, absolutely not shite.
Not a great place for young people perhaps, but London is commutable and property is relatively inexpensive.
London only being an hour away isn’t too bad, it would definitely be a pro for me. I might go back in the summer to see what it’s really like!
As someone who is born and raised in Peterborough the worst city label is more of a joke. I could agree that to visit it's not too applying. It's more a place to be lived in.
The River Nene is a pleasant sort, you've got the quayside with the Key Theatre, the town bridge, and there's also the Nene Valley Railway.
You also say it’s dead but it’s passing it down with rain
Peterborough is not just the city centre guys, I think you'd perhaps enjoy the numerous skate parks, ice rink, speedway, sailing, wake boarding, paddle boarding, archery and many other sports, there's a small local museum in town and Flag Fen Archeological site & recreation of how people lived (including actual recreations of the buildings) over 3000 years ago. + woods, lakes and so on, there is much more to Peterborough it's just not all in the town centre. Perhaps you should come back to Peterborough with more of an idea of what you want to see or do
Well you might have a new video in Peterborough in september….
@@LoganSpooner I hope if you do come back to Peterborough you go further than the City Centre (don't go to Lincoln Road), you need to go to the different neighbourhoods. Perhaps get yourselves a Day Rider which you can use on any Stagecoach Citibus for the whole day. Even the shops here are not all in the city centre. It's a bit of an odd place and takes some getting used to, I'm not a Peterboroughian and found it very strange and unusual when I moved here, I was used to the more traditional set up for towns and cities, Peterborough doesn't follow those rules. Yes, we do have rundown areas like all cities do, but we some very lovely areas too and not all on show some are hidden behind buildings or within estates
As someone who lives in Peterborough, it really isn't that great. There's no opportunities for jobs aside from the hospital or the industrial areas. As for Queensgate they're doing a massive renovation on it so who knows if that'll improve it, one can hope so. There's some really nice nature spots just outside the centre along the river and the Nene valley railway. They are absolutely stunning in the summer. Overall though it is very lacklustre, and I can't wait to move away from it haha.
I think going back might be a good idea but it does need to be a day where it’s warm and potentially a weekend! I also might go and see a football match as it might have more life!
@@LoganSpooner Oh for sure man, there's usually something to do in the summer here. Going back a few years we had a festival called willow. Free entry and just live music. Sadly the council decided not to put it on since 2014. I miss it, was definitely the highlights of summer here for me 😂 I think they're planning on building a new stadium aswell.
@@LoganSpooner we have a good football team
I wish being 'lacklustre' was it's worst fault. It's terrible.
I went to London once and it pissed down, so I rated London a 1/10 based upon that.
Went to London the other day, it rained but it was still better than Peterborough as there was something to do.
@@LoganSpooner Don't visit North Wales!!!
I’m Peterborough born and bred, and I think it’s unfair to say it’s the worst in the UK. There are far crappier places in my opinion! What I would say though is that it’s a disappointing city. Minus the Cathedral, there’s nothing special about PB. Nightlife is shocking, daytime/evening activities are few and far between, and there’s just so many empty retail units. It sucks even more because when a decent space becomes available, you know full well it will be yet another B&M etc, it’s just so dull. You easily run out of things to do here, which is a shame because given the chance by the people in the city with money, I think it has real potential 👍🏻
I lived in Peterborough most my life & finally got out of it 4yrs ago. Best thing I did as it has gone down hill & does look a mess.
Ya definitely should had explored more & see more places shut & more looks a mess. Some places are struggling to keep looked after & nice. Ive moved & The village I now live inn half hour drive away is tidy & 80% of the village are proud of it, no theft, no touching people stuff, buy fruit & veg from from sellers gardens in the village & leave money in the loyalty tin without being touched. And the village is helping everyone to put Xmas lights up from home to home. Lovely village & I love it
Do you live in Welland
Why why this his city gets delayed by 100000000 years
Because you and your mates are cool, I'll subscribe!
Cheers mate, means a lot :)
he should of went down the scatchy tunnles at 9pm waving dat camra abt
I dreaded moving to Peterborough in 2016 (i lived with my patents at the time) but 7 years on my parents have moved away and i stayed. I dont think its even remotely as bad as people think. Just a bad rep from 20 or so years ago. Also, like most cities, Peterborough isnt just the city center, its massive and there are multiple shopping centers all over Peterborough, unfortunately for Peterborough though, the main one (Queensgate) is dying (due to very high rent and the departure of John Lewis i suspect) and being surpassed by the others, in Hampton (south Peterborough) and Brotherhood (north Peterborough).
if you live in hampton you could always go to town
What makes Peterborough the worst city in the UK?
What were the things that you were looking for and looking to in Peterborough, was it to visit particular designated tourist spots, or to visit locations of daily services and commercial activity such as shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, internet rooms, gaming centres, and sports and physical creational areas?
Were you looking for any events or locations of performing arts, visual arts, and fine arts?
Are you into industrial tourism? By this I mean you visit sites of industrial activity varying from garages, carpentry workshops, and wood workers sheds, all the way up to large textiles plants, petrochemicals refineries, steel mills, and factories that make all sorts of machines varying from electric motors, to air conditioners, and unto chemicals processing equipment and excavators... Visiting various science labs with fancy gadgets that do research in material science, chemistry, and physics can also count as industrial tourism...
Look up the history of Peterborough and surrounding area and its importance during roman times and Boudica
Oh interesting...
Peterborough gets a bad rep, its got a beautiful cathedral, saved by Henry VIII in the dissolution of the monasteries. One of the best preserved bronze age sites in the world, the Fens on the doorstep, the best bits just not bigged up enough by the council
It does seem to have a bad rep, I’m not sure why
@@LoganSpooner because of all the moaners who live here who think Love Island is the height of culture. However the council is doing a fantastic job of turning it into a REAL dump, come back in a few years and it may actually deserve that title.
I grew up there before i left for uni to another city and then just up and left the UK. Haven't been back in 10 years , yes Peterborough is not the most exciting place but its far from the worst I mean Grantham Boston and many more come to mind before Peterborough
I say Peterborough is not a nice place to live, I lived there for well over 40 years of my life and I spent many years and decades wanting to move well out and well away from the place I now no longer live there and where I am now is nothing like Peterborough and also when I lived in Peterborough I found the place was neither one thing nor the other and I am not been funny but there are other cities I have been to not lived in that IMO seemed way nicer and more chilled out Plymouth is several times bigger but it is more relaxed and the people are more laid back. There is a town called Bourne which is in Lincolnshire and in comparison nothing like Peterborough and also I know people who left Peterborough and went to live in Bourne or even live in places like Stamford which is quite an old town but nonetheless nicer and also places like the Deepings or even Tallington which is quite quiet and more laid back.
For a day it isn't bad but if you stayed a week or a month or a year you'd ve able to say its not great, I've lived here all my life but there must be worse places to live. Not sure if it was intended but the Pizza Express founder was from Peterborough.
I would say that I would stay for a few days but that's scary haha! As a day out - there is just nothing to do. (P.S. I had no idea that he was from Peterborough.)
Live in Peterborough. Pretty much nail on the head. Only thing we got is a cathedral. Well made video and wish you all the best
The cathedral was really good. Everything else wasn’t the best..
Peterborough is awful, but at least it's not Shittlesey.
I found this searching where I live, Peterborough Canada (pop. 85,000). This Peterborough looks much more interesting! I mean, it has an old cathedral! And a train station! How cool is that?!
Every city in England has both here! Infact most cities have more than one train station and there’s trains going in and out all day!
@@LoganSpooner I wish we still had trains here, that use to be the the only way to travel. They got rid of the tracks years ago, now there's miles and miles of bicycle paths!
Very good video Logan. Born & bred here & used to like living here. Things have changed for the worse over the last few years & really want to move now - ideally to the Isle of Wight.
Thanks Sheree! i've been to the Isle Of Wight before (looking at going there for a video) and Peterborough wasn't that bad from what I heard but it wasn't the most exciting place I've ever been.
Thanks guys - it isn’t the UK’s worst city
Well….
Thank god for the A1 for a fast escape.
Peterborough is not the worst city in England, far from it. A very beautiful and interesting city to live in and this is coming from someone that has lived in various parts of the country! I think your assessment is not balanced at all and perhaps a little more research before your visit may have unveiled the hidden beauty of this growing city.
Thinking about heading back on a nicer day to see what’s happening there… not much I could find online before though….
Years ago I remember the gang fight set ups, one week it was Walton vs Werrington another would be Breton vs Paston etc lol
I went to school in Peterborough during the 1970s. Was good to look around. Thanks for the trip 👍
No worries!!!
Try spending a day in the UKs worst seaside town Hastings in East Sussex if you want to see a true doss hole inhabited by the worst sub humans ever to be encountered. Hastings is truly shocking, filthy, grotty and derelict. Many chose to live on the street rather than be housed in the nearby Warrior Square St. Leonards. Hastings Conquest Hospital is where one goes if having a desire to die! Fashion is anything that can be shop lifted from Primark without being caught by the PCSOs in a hot chase LOL! Even the bus shelters are the worst in Britain with one bus shelter in Queens Road having been trashed long ago and left a wreck by the local council. Hastings pier is a plank! Hastings Railway station is rank bad where the toilets are dreadful and only those desperate to have a slash go. Social Housing estates are seriously bad with single moms who cannot identify the father/s of their bratz are housed. One needs a criminal conviction to get Social Housing in Hastings E. Sussex. Hastings in East Sussex without doubt one of the worst locations in Britain if not the worst.
After giving it a google, this seems like a good video idea so I will looking at doing it next year when I start uploading again!
What are you talking about? I’ve visited Hastings and found it to be a really beautiful place (especially the Old Town), as I really love history and historic architecture. I really did not experience anything in your comment whatsoever…
@@tamaracarter1836 Take a look around Warrior Square LOL! I remember when Hastings was good many decades ago. Dreadful place even worse than Margate!
That's a big lie,I Will choose Peterborough over Leicester any day and any time,stop the lies, it's not the worse city in UK
I’ve been to both and Peterborough wasn’t as good. Bit less to do really!
@@LoganSpooner ,bro,I live in Peterborough and my ex girlfriend is still living in Leicester,where I used to see her every weekend,so I know what am talking about, Leicester is hell on earth as compared to Peterborough which depicts or a replica of paradise,,ait?, cheers
Update: After 3 years of being the 'worst uk city', on the 2022 list, Peterborough is now the 5th worst, no longer THE worst. big ups everyone :)
We aint the worst now 🤣
Oh, what's no.1 now?!
@@LoganSpooner some place called Aylesbury
the top 5 were:
- peterborough
- liverpool
- luton
- huddersfield

Interesting…
You've sold me on the cathedral (I do visit cathedrals). But I was there for a footy match last week and found it otherwise crap. LOL.
Should of gone to pizza house just down the road to pizza express it’s SOO good
Peterborough was created for overflow workers in London it had a huge community of polish workers long before WW2. I live here since june 2019 and it's alright surrounded by highways i can go London within 1hr30 no queues... i deliver palletised goods nationwide and i see plenty of cities I don't know how people can survive in London jizz that traffic and so many CCTV cameras keen to give you a traffic fine lol
London is just full of traffic. Was there last Monday and I’ve never seen so many carsx
Great haddon and yaxley and Hampton southern peterborough well beautiful lake
Not gonna go to a park whilst it’s raining….
Something tells me, you choose a dreary day on purpose just to make it seem worse than it actually is however you were not as harsh as I thought you might be...
Can’t lie, we just picked a date didn’t bother checking the weather. It would have been better in the sun but nonetheless i still believe it to be not as interesting as other cities
Maybe try it out on a sunny match day.
…and you base this city on what exactly. A rainy Tuesday. Perhaps you should go somewhere that isn’t very nice. I and a few of my friends are not keen on Nottingham.
By what criteria is this the worst place in the UK? It's small (for a city) and quite boring that's about the worst you can say about it.
you missed the best part, ✨the hamptons ✨
U WENT TO THE TOWN NEAR ASDA AND I LIVE NEAR THEREEE I WENT TO THAT CATHEDRAL AND SAW CATHERINE OF ARAGON
You seem happy by that haha
Been mugged 2 times in Peterborough, plus near the Great Northern Hotel I caught a foriegner tipping some smelly glue stuff on my car , been to London some 1500 times with no problems Peterborough seems a bit dodgey and no longer go there, I do like the real ale pubs though
Ayo I've lived in Peterborough for 8years and like, u only explored the very middle of Peterborough, maybe you should try to explore more rural and better rated places in Peterborough :)
I might go back in the Summer to see what it's really like...
COME ON PETERBOROUGH
Rain isnt exclusive to pboro boss, and you've gone to a chain restaurant when you could have gone 100 yards up the road to 2 well known family establishments, research mate research
Gunthorpe Peterborough is a beautiful old place rich people liver
Didn’t see many indications of that
I live in Peterborough and yes there has been quite a lot of crime and sometimes knife crime but I'm stlii here and it's not a bad place at all it's just I live in standground and need the skate park there is a lot of bad people there and under the under pass but no it's quite a good place actually I don't know why it's rated the worst city though cusin my opinion Luton is definitely the worst city in England ❤
God Luton is so bad 😂😂😂
HEY RESPECT PETERBOROUGH!!!!
I never knew we had a cathedral LoL
It’s actually really nice
No no no Colchester is by far the worst place on earth followed by clacton on sea. Anywhere in Essex is just shit
It would take a brave person to walk around certain areas of this place at night
I wouldn’t even think about it
The town produced some of the best old ginger beer bottles in the UK. A printed cathedral and the bottles look great!
Never seen them, what’s the name?
Is Canters still in operation there? Used to be a great place in the mid 80s
0:03 "peterbrugh" you can't even spell it, and to say Peterborough is UK's worst city is laughable. Coventry, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, London, Liverpool etc are a lot lot worse
Simple spelling mistake, easily done. Peterborough isn’t that bad, but there is better and worse.
You came whilst it was raining too
The only reason I know what Peterborough is is because google once told me it was the 2nd largest city in England
Google has lied to you there, sorry mate
@@LoganSpooner yeah google is pretty untrustworthy when it comes to population of places in Britain
It once told me that Wigan had over 300,000 people
East of England mate not the whole of England
I don't think Peterborough is the worst. I have been to other cities and Peterborough is not the worst.
you should try sheffield and you will regret going there
Been to Sheffield a couple of a days ago and it’s a decent city, didn’t regret it at all really
Revisit but go places like the nene valley and go to paston… you will love it there
Might look into it...
I LAUGHED SO HARD AT THIS ITS UNREAL 😂😂
Peterborough ain’t the worst city in the UK. You’ve clearly never been to Hull
