I am a born and bread Londoner. When I left it was with regret. Now, if you even offered me a £5m mansion in London, I would turn it down. This is because, we, in our street have something I never had anywhere in London… neighbours… I know everyone in my street and are chatting friends with most. This spreads to a next street too. We also look out for each other. When anyone is away, we all keep an eye on their place. We also do things like water their plants. From our front door, there is a score of lovely walks. Some of those walks take me to a village mentioned in the Domesday book, the sight of twelfth century windmill (the oldest of its type in the UK), an eleventh century church, 16th century manor house, a four-hundred year old tree, the sight of an old railway, the Grand Union Canal, farm buildings of various antiquity. On that walk I can breathe in air that is so clean because of the parks and woodlands surrounding. A ten minute drive takes us to a 11th century abbey, a town so very involved in the ECW, a coaching town that has the original Cock & Ball plus several other important places, the sight of the first diesel engine, the factory that used to build the greatest British car (Aston Martin), The best University in the world (OU), many Roman and Medieval sights… and of course: Bletchley Park, one of the most important places in the world…
I often get asked why I like living in Milton Keynes. This video sums up the reasons I give. Green open spaces that are easy to cycle and walk through and water everywhere.
Amazing drone footage, thank you for making this beautiful video. First time visited MK back in early 80's on my school trip from London, look so much different now.
The lake, fabulous. The pyramid of light, spectacular. The huge shopping mall, exhilarating. Goosebumps every night before I sleep, all for MK. Can’t sleep, MK. Wake up sweating, MK.
Very nice video. You can get excellent results from those small quads despite their tiny sensors. I kept track of the development of the Hotel La Tour and planned on doing an FPV flyby and dives when it opened last year and did another Campbell Park FPV tour this year - always on midsummers day. I obtained my A2 CofC then GVC for business just in case the Parks Trust had any issues - but they were cool. Have flown at most of the locations in your video.
yeah - including the crashes. In this summer's flights, I had a two second VTX drop out as I dived the hotel on the east side. I then had a couple of RC / telemetry failures but luckily I have GPS failsafe enabled on my self built LR quads and I was able to recover.
Have to say what a cracking video and music with not a concrete cow in sight 🤣 It’s shame at 2:52 they’ve removed the windmill sails at it really made that part of town special. Brilliant drone footage as well and like other comments here, it’s amazing how green and lush the place looks from the air! 👍 Perhaps do a video of all the outlining villages of Milton Keynes? Stoney Stratford with its history to Yardley Gobian to Castlethorpe in that neck of the woods, to Passingham Manor to Calverton on the other side, but just make sure you don’t go too close to Hanslope Park or you’ll find a laser will shoot your drone out of the sky 😳
Looking for some advice please if you can help 🙏 As a family we are thinking of moving to Milton Keynes to be near family in Oxford. Is it a nice place to live (we've only visited a few times) and are there any areas to avoid living in?
My intention when making this video was to show parts of MK that I love and the ones that are appealing to me :) out of curiosity though, which Lakes Estate do you refer to? Perhaps I’m not aware - it’s only been 3 years for me :)
@@magdavrabetz Put it this way; Bletchley is the worst part of MK. The Lakes Estate is the worst part of Bletchley, it is a place where you experience soul death, so stay away. There are some nice parts to MK as you know, I recommend Caldecotte if you are coming back this way. Very scenic. You've got a lake, a windmill, a pub, what else do you need? Nice work btw.
@@deathbysnusnu515 i agree it is not all beautiful :) love Caldecotte!! These flats with massive balconies are just the dream! Sadly, I can’t really afford staying at MK but these were some really lovely 3 years 😍 and thank you! :)
You build a city from scratch and still build terraced housing? MK needs to develop only big detached homes from now on. It also needs a skyscraper district (business and residential) to entice businesses to MK.
Hi, I have an apartment overlooking the lake, The Caldecotte lost its sails a few years ago now! Think the cost of new ones plus maintenance has resulted in them being left off for the foreseeable future sadly😢
@@joginns778 🙈 I guess I'm lucky to live in a nicer part of MK :) I think every city has its flaws but overall it's definitely nicer than some other places I lived in the UK :)
@@magdavrabetz conniburrow was a nice estate 30 years ago then it became a high crime hot spot it's such a shame if you don't mind me asking what estate are you on I can remember the lake's estate was a nice place to live now I hear it's being pulled down Milton Keynes as a city isn't bad as you say every where has its bad spots I live near cheltnham it's just the Same crime takes over eventually,
If u want 2 move 2 the city some estates not good some horrible people avoid fullers slade lakes estate Netherfield Greenleys and other places but there some nice places to.we moved out of Milton Keynes people make out its a wonderful place it has got parks and open space which is nice we couldn't afford 2 buy a house so we lived on a council estate not a good idea
I agree, there are some really great places in MK but the prices in the recent years.... not sure if it's worth it anymore :( so I feel you about moving, I had to do the same...
thank you Kathy, well 16 years is a lot :) I moved after 5 years but I do miss MK... not all of it (definitely not the centre) but there are places I loved and miss 🥰
What is that ugly 'light pyramid'? Is it 'art' like the concrete cows? Why does MK hate the natural world and anything organic so much? Why concrete over that little 'hill' ... was it always a hillock or is it artificial?
Honestly, I am not sure what is the purpose of the light pyramid 😂 I'm sure it has something to do with the sunlight moving along but I defo had higher expectations before seeing it 🤣 In that location, I guess they could have gone for something a little more "majestic", even if it's artificial...
@@giovannidebiase8479 omg. 😍 I just came back from Bologna and Venice! Been visiting Italy since I was a kid and I’m sure this will be my stay forever country at one point :) you’re very lucky!! Which part of Italy?

Exactly! Unfortunately it becomes too expensive 😔
It looks a very family friendly city.
This is so well done! It's definitely my favourite drone footage of MK.
Thank you so much! 💝
I've lived in MK my whole life (30 years) and have never seen it look so appealing - great job Magdalena!
Thank you so much! :)
Lovely video. The strange thing about it is how much more rural it looks from the air as opposed to the ground.
Your drone footage is awesome! I think you've done a great job showing how nice a place MK is to live.
Thanks Nick! :) Much appreciated!
Amazing drone footage, thank you for making this beautiful video. First time visited MK back in early 80's on my school trip from London, look so much different now.

Fantastic ...
Lived in Milton Keynes for over 25 years. You have shown exactly why.
A great advertisement for Milton Keynes.
Thank You
Thanks a lot Drew! 25 years is a long time! :)

Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m currently away campervanning through Europe but once back to MK (or if 🤭), I’ll definitely give more places around a go :)
Yet again, I return. Jaw = on the floor as per.. Milton Keynes in all her glory. a film for the ages. My special M ;) is a genius amongst us 😊
Really really fantastic video, well done!!
Thank you so much! :)
I've been living in MK for over 24 years and its my first experience overviewing my town, thanks Magda :-) what a wonderful lovely works.
Thank you very much Ricky! ;)

I love MK I have lived here my whole life it's amazing!.
Really good video that. You should be very proud
Thank you so much! 💛
MK looks amazing,thank you.
Thank you very much :)
i do love it! always have ever since i first visited back in 91! :-)
Great video. MK looks great and inspired me to Visit.
Thank you! Definitely let me know what you think once you've visited 😊
Hello, I have visited MK and loved it. The Midsummer's shopping centre, and Bletchley are my favourites.
Thanks again for the video. All the Best.
I live in Mk it’s a beautiful town unfortunately some people don’t appreciate it. It’s way better looking than surrounding towns. It’s unique
This is not representative of MK. Where's the Lakes Estate and Netherfield footage? Did the locals nick the drone?

This is awesome 🙌🏼
I am moving in to MK
This is the my rimambar very beatiful and interesting for my its rested forevar in my heart ❤thanks bye daniel
We had a small story we had to memorize and the character was from Milton Keynes didn't think it would be this good looking
Hey if you have knowledge about it that please tell me ...
What is Normal & single room rent for per month in MK ???
Moved to Milton Keynes in 1986!!
I wasn't even in the plans yet 😅Hope you liked it! ;)
It’s not a competition mate. I would have too, if I could go to anywhere in time I’d go back to 1985 and move to MK!
MK here i come....
Superb
I see the caldecotte has lost it's windmill. Why ? Great video!
It didn't! :) 2:50 (unless there was another one?) ;) Thank you!

Love drone videos of MK.
Easy like and sub. Fully watched. Very impressed!

Thank you so much! 💞
Wonderful video 👍🏻 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!😍
It's just a Shame it has its bad spot I lived on conniburrow never again after ten years we got out no regrets now in the Cotswolds,
aww Cotswolds is sooo lovely!! Yes, MK has some really bad spots but I think it's a matter of time :)

The tall-block hotel is unwelcome - going diametrically against the whole ethos & aesthetic of Milton Keynes.
It looks better now its finished, but it still stands out like the first tooth growing in the mouth of a child.
@@quoth7330 More will follow - someone somewhere must be being paid an awful lot of money
🤣 love the comparison!
Really stunning footage. Great job! I have started flying my DJI Mini 2 in MK too. feel free to take a look! Subscribed
Loved the doggy chase and Peace Pagoda! 😍 Guess I gotta be careful flying around now 😅
@@magdavrabetz That's very kind of you to say! Love flying Marvin the drone 😀
Nice video, but after 16 yrs of living in mk I came to hate it with a vengeance 😕
thank you Kathy, well 16 years is a lot :) I moved after 5 years but I do miss MK... not all of it (definitely not the centre) but there are places I loved and miss 🥰
I PREFER LISTEN ABOUT CITY TOO
That’s a great feedback, thank you! 🙏
I saw the writing on the wall. Sold up and moved out in 1983. Milton Keynes has only gotten worse since then.
No high rise buildings. 😍😍
On the ground level you are surrounded by expressionless, soulless folk all going through their mid life crisis
You only showed the trees in MK because the "city" is so damn ugly!
I'm in the city only when I need to so the video shows where I choose to be ;)
I hate milton keynes SO much i'd rather be ripped to shreds than go in a 20 mile radius of it
Why do u hate MK so much ???
@@reyanshchannel4969 They obviously have no reasons. Most people who dislike it are the same.
dont :D
Don't watch? 😋
MK? More like WowK
Thankyou for this Magda! (Or should I say M ;) )
