This is basically a video of me sat in a hotel room wondering why I've spent £150 to come here, think how many sausage rolls you could get with that… also, we hit 25k subs yesterday, thank you so much for the all the support! I’ve now been paid so more videos coming soon!
I lived in Luton for 10 years from 10 till 21 it was fine still have friends down there. The chicken shops are decent down there. There used to be a cinema in the town centre has that gone now ?
I heard the funfair is good if you wanted something to do 😉 Great videos mate, keep them up. I'm from Peterborough, Britain's second worst town apparently. Hit me up if you want a tour 😂
I found this channel a few weeks ago when I was poorly and had some time off work, I've now watched pretty much every video and think they are hilarious. A completely different style to most youtubers! keep it up Ed!
I can feel the misery through the screen! Crossing a bridge to get to a hotel boasting about sage, overlooking a car park and a town centre fun fair clearly operated by a maniac, topped off by the sad loss of one of the 'Tasty' triplets and the economic inflation of 'sam's' Absolute perfection Ed, like something outta Black Mirror😂👌
I used to be a 'Chugger' (charity fundraiser) 😅 I did it for 7 years and have worked all over the UK travelling to a new area every week and a different town or city every day. In that 7 years, I only ever went to Luton once but I got more sign ups there than any other place in the entire UK within that 7 years. The people don't have alot but they were certainly willing to give!
I googled whats good about Luton, the results (no joke) "Luton has great high-speed travel into Central London, access to key roads, and easy access motorways and Luton Airport".XD The good thing is you can leave in MANY ways.
I stayed at that Thistle Express the night before an early morning flight, and my experience of Luton pretty much exactly mirrored yours 😂 Worst part was that I’d arrived late afternoon, so even the shops in the mall were starting to shut - and once they’d gone, there was truly nothing to do except wander round in circles like a pigeon with a head injury
I was not expecting this video to be as hilarious and interesting as it was - well done sir, for turning a seemingly dull subject into fifteen minutes of genuine entertainment! And thank you also for taking one for the team, experiencing this place so that we don't have to. **Crosses Luton off Travel List.**
So you went to Luton and didn't go to the football ground where the away end looks like you are walking into someone's back garden? Probably the most interesting thing about the whole town 😂
I lived in Luton for a year, not out of choice, more out of circumstance. Constant sirens throughout the night, neighbours playing music until 3am, nothing to do, just kebab shops, never knew whether what I was hearing was fireworks or gunshots.
I remember that hotel in the late 90’s (Thistle Luton, before they realised tacking ‘express’ on managed expectations better) and it boasted the cheapest bar in the town centre, opening out into that delightful area where the fun fair was. Double Vodka Redbulls and change from a £2 coin! The street drinkers were the main customers alongside the occasional lost-looking overseas business person, who had inexplicably found themselves in Luton. There’s really not much to say in Luton’s defence. (Even the airport is shite)
The little town I grew up in, Carlisle, Kentucky, had a couple of interesting characters who always walked the streets. One of them was nicknamed Skillet, and the other one was nicknamed Pork Chop 😂. Thanks for making me remember them Ed 🙌
04:01 - I mean it's not exactly a shining example but Glasgow has a funfair in the centre (St Enoch's Square) just outside the station during the festive season. Paisley also too during Christmas time.
Ha… oh my god, further in to your video and this is where I stayed… there were people walking around bare foot when I arrived. I got told that the hotel was providing rooms to the homeless…
I know right.. of those towns only Bradford makes sense. You could make an argument for Portsmouth maybe, but none of these cities are poor and they`re all based in the South. In terms of deprivation the poorest places in the UK are almost exclusively outside of the South of England.
Come to leamington spa Ed I'll treat you to a smash Burger and chips at the Gourmet Picnic Shed . Warwick Castle and Stratford Upon Avon on our Doorstep. Great vid as always
You should come and visit the Buckinghamshire area. I do a lot of journeys to somewhere called High Wycombe so in between the journeys I see a lot of the more photogenic parts of the county and Buckinghamshire is actually a typical but beautiful English countryside county outside of the bigger towns. The smaller than your expected towns of Amersham, Marlow, Beaconsfield and Princes Risbrough are nice places dotted around the beautiful South Bucks-Chiltern Hills. There are a massive portion of pubs and restaurants in my area and many in the Chilterns with much better views of the countryside. In fact the pubs here are lovely in the valleys and the there's plenty of walking and camping spots. Just don't bother with the three bigger towns they're depressing, especially Milton Keynes that although has decent shopping it is an over hyped dump that from above looks like a giant international airport terminal (aka concrete jungle).
They say 99 p when they mean 5 quid should be called 5 quid store anyway can we appreciate the effort Ed puts into his videos Edit : thank you for 8 likes
Your videos are quality mate! Genuinely just sat here watching one after the other, love the overall content and best of all, you’re entertaining and engaging, so thank you 🤩
i gota say one of these vids popped up on my feed, clicked on it not realy thinking and from the getco ed had an impressive style as well as saying what he wants and frankly not giving a crap about what others think, well done mate.
I love a local towns characters. In my town there's the denim man, a man dressed in denim jeans and matching jacket, pure white whispy hair and when you say hello he shouts 'AWWLRRRYYYYYTTEEE!?'
Lived in Luton most of my life. Move away 10 years ago but had to come back last year for my dad's funeral. The place has got even worse than when i was there last. What is it with all the takeaway and kebab places in the Arndale centre?!? Highlight of the visit was watching the Romanian gypsy wives having a fight, outside the town hall, whilst hanging onto their kids and the husbands trying to split them up, as the alcoholics were cheering them on outside Don Miller's 0:08
Not from Luton but we had a bloke locally who would make near perfect animal noises at the top of his voice when he cycled past. Appropriately called Animal man.

Can you do this in Great Yarmouth. I think the video you do for that would be hilarious. And maybe do a tier list after a couple of these videos to sum them all up like a series endin. Then maybe do a season 2??? 😂😂😂 Loved the video though 💜
I’m not a fan of that list overall, Quite a lot of them aren’t that bad at all and a number of them (such as Oxford, Windsor, Reading, Kensington etc) are stated to be just on there to annoy people, But Luton would top any negative list. Either way, Great video and keep it up!
You should go to Plymouth in Devon! Someone once told me (though I'm sure it's not true) that after WWII they had so much excess concrete they built Plymouth as its all grey and concrete! You should visit they do have a good sea life aquarium at least
“He’s like a human slug” 🤣🤣 - you crack me up. Funny enough, you remind me of Ricky Gervais in The Office. Love it, great content and the honesty is brilliant. 👍
If you think Luton is bad. Try Hull. I've lived here for about 20 years (from Newcastle originally) and I'm convinced that it's declining on a daily basis.
You should try Oswestry, lots of charity shops, very little else. There isn't even a cinema, or a Primark! Surely the mark of a good town is whether there is a Primark or not 😄
Another great video. “Disturbed Ice cream” lol that’s my banking password, I will have to change it now. Re “local characters” of you don’t know any then you are the local character 😂😂
Ed can we please do something like visiting a nice town, not sure they are plentifully in the uk but would be entertaining to see if you can keep yourself entertained
Lived here all my life and now 26... Ive seen people jump off the mall and die ive seen people die from stabbings ive seen women being assaulted and ive seen police attacking innoncent women on there journey home. This area is beyond a nightmare to live in. Nothing good has come outta luton except us making it to BPL...
Just down the road from me. Honestly Ed, between Luton and my fiancé's home of Peterborough havls to be a toss up of the biggest dumps in the UK. Airport is good prices wise though, I'll give it that.
As someone who lives in Luton the only thing going for it is the good transport links. Pretty much an overflow of London commuters Not really anything to do, best local attractions Dunstable Downs or Whipsnade Zoo Funny thing about this video is that the town centre is probably one of the nicer parts of Luton. Some areas like Bury Park, Marsh Farm and High Town are absolute shitholes
I love your channel, I've said it before, but I also lived in Luton for 5 years and I just wanted to say, what you do in Luton is drinking and eating a late night drunken kebab or fried chicken. Go to the White House and after that eat something... there are not many attractions, but that is what we used to do for fun (RIP my liver); let me know what you think afterwards. Still a nice video. 👌
I was in Luton for a few days about 2 months ago. The people were absolutely lovely, but what a depressing dump of a town. Reminded me of home actually...
Hi Ed! Bricklayers Arms for some good ales. Wardown Park for... a park. Or Stockwood where the Radio1 Big Weekend is happening this year. Galaxy Centre. The Bury Park Experience. The mecca of football, Kenilworth Road. Come back and visit again.
Please you gotta do a video in Peterborough, it was rated worst city to live in England for 3 years in a row before we got beaten by Luton! There are decent places but for the most part its quite dead.
This is basically a video of me sat in a hotel room wondering why I've spent £150 to come here, think how many sausage rolls you could get with that… also, we hit 25k subs yesterday, thank you so much for the all the support! I’ve now been paid so more videos coming soon!
Lol amazing vid Ed I love hotels
I lived in Luton for 10 years from 10 till 21 it was fine still have friends down there. The chicken shops are decent down there. There used to be a cinema in the town centre has that gone now ?
You think Luton might be bad have a visit to Sheffield it's the same as Luton
You should visit Oldham next mate. That WOULD be an eye opener. 😉
I heard the funfair is good if you wanted something to do 😉
Great videos mate, keep them up.
I'm from Peterborough, Britain's second worst town apparently.
Hit me up if you want a tour 😂
Spends 14 minutes complaining there’s nothing to do but refuses to go to the fun fare, brilliant.
Pretty much
Hi zac
😂😂😂😂
not sure why, but I assumed you knew Luton's fun fair schedule, not that Ed didn't stop talking about it hahaha
This channel is going to blow up. A little gem of a find
Bit threatening. Why would you want to blow him up?

Hes not consistent enough for the youtube algorithm. Shame he just needs to upload every week.
Best thing you can do is nip up the road to the airport and get on a flight to ANYWHERE.

Can you go to Liverpool city?
I can feel the misery through the screen!
Crossing a bridge to get to a hotel boasting about sage, overlooking a car park and a town centre fun fair clearly operated by a maniac, topped off by the sad loss of one of the 'Tasty' triplets and the economic inflation of 'sam's'
Absolute perfection Ed, like something outta Black Mirror😂👌
the actual entrance is from the shopping centre not that car bridge haah - so you walk into the shopping mall and then elevator to the car park
I used to be a 'Chugger' (charity fundraiser) 😅 I did it for 7 years and have worked all over the UK travelling to a new area every week and a different town or city every day. In that 7 years, I only ever went to Luton once but I got more sign ups there than any other place in the entire UK within that 7 years.

You were probably the highlight of their day. I avoid chuggers like the plague, some of them are really aggressive in my experience.

"Luton has great high-speed travel into Central London, access to key roads, and easy access motorways and Luton Airport".XD

Like with Coventry, thanks to ringroad easy to take off in any direction.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 😊
Luton has never changed.
i just love how authentic you are, it's hard to find nowadays. (furthermore i was munching a greggs sausage roll watching this)
Cheers! Hope it was nice and hot, might have to get one for lunch now
i too was munching a greggs VEGAN sausage roll for the first time ever while watching this vid
I've been binging the hell out of your videos recently. You're smashing it. Keep it up!
Thank you 😊
You suffered for our entertainment.
You are a legend Ed!
I hope you now treat yourself and find out what the best town is.
So you went to Luton and didn't go to the football ground where the away end looks like you are walking into someone's back garden? Probably the most interesting thing about the whole town 😂
I lived in Luton for a year, not out of choice, more out of circumstance. Constant sirens throughout the night, neighbours playing music until 3am, nothing to do, just kebab shops, never knew whether what I was hearing was fireworks or gunshots.
Ed your content is my most enjoyable viewing on TH-cam without question cheers for all the effort
Appreciate that, cheers!
Ed: there’s nothing to do
Also Ed: there’s a fun fair outside
Brilliant video though
Yeah I was just thinking "omg show us the fun fair!"
That Window view in the morning I'm convinced is what inspired Fallout 76
“ Let’s knock that down” 🤣
I remember that hotel in the late 90’s (Thistle Luton, before they realised tacking ‘express’ on managed expectations better) and it boasted the cheapest bar in the town centre, opening out into that delightful area where the fun fair was. Double Vodka Redbulls and change from a £2 coin!

There’s really not much to say in Luton’s defence.
(Even the airport is shite)
Mate you are fully morphing into Alan Partridge. This is a great thing .
I agree! Always think this
I've not seen enough of his stuff to know if that's a good thing or not 😂
Go to Jaywick, near Clacton. THAT is the worst place in the UK.
Need to see a surviving 24hrs in Chatham
Defo! Maybe add in the whole of Medway (except Rochester which great) to make an “interesting” long weekend 😄
Poor Luton! It looks like Beirut with a little spot of Disneyland in the middle. 🎪
The little town I grew up in, Carlisle, Kentucky, had a couple of interesting characters who always walked the streets. One of them was nicknamed Skillet, and the other one was nicknamed Pork Chop 😂. Thanks for making me remember them Ed 🙌

Ed’s videos are just the best!
If you’ve never seen a greyer town, than Luton, come to Stoke-on-Trent 😅
Ed was so bored in luton that he set a carpark on fire for something to do.
👀
I can't get enough of your sense of humor!
Ha… oh my god, further in to your video and this is where I stayed… there were people walking around bare foot when I arrived. I got told that the hotel was providing rooms to the homeless…
I was born in Luton but thankfully we moved to Lowestoft when I was 3 😅
When you see Bournemouth and Peterborough on the top ten list, you realise what a load of bull**** it is
I know right.. of those towns only Bradford makes sense. You could make an argument for Portsmouth maybe, but none of these cities are poor and they`re all based in the South. In terms of deprivation the poorest places in the UK are almost exclusively outside of the South of England.
I'm from bedford just up the road and I can confirm both this place and luton are horrendous
I love that you did this video. I’m a stones throw away in Flitwick, although I try to avoid Luton, at all costs! 😂
8:52 u look like the quiet kid in school lol, great vid!
Come to leamington spa Ed I'll treat you to a smash Burger and chips at the Gourmet Picnic Shed . Warwick Castle and Stratford Upon Avon on our Doorstep. Great vid as always
Please please please do Swindon next! Also Ed, im so happy to see this channel grow!
I was in Swindon today, nothing could prepare me for such a place!!

Loooool what a video mate 😆😆😆😆 had me laughing. Luton looks absolutely stunning
You could have visited Kenilworth Road the most unique ground in the Premier League
Your videos are quality mate! Genuinely just sat here watching one after the other, love the overall content and best of all, you’re entertaining and engaging, so thank you 🤩
Luton seems like the type of place that's so grim you could poop yourself in public and not feel self conscious or embarrassed about it
That's pretty accurate actually
@@EdChapman23no it’s not I’m from Luton and you show the worst parts
@@EdChapman23if you ever came back I would love to show you the proper Luton and things to do to change your view
You need to come and try Jaywick. Most deprived place in the UK
As others have said this channel is going to blow up big time. Excellent content.

Another great video! keep up the good work!
Amazing video as always ed
as someone who lives in england , its so depressing here
Yeah there is a Mr Shuffle in my town too. Must be a prerequisite in every provincial town. Thank goodness for the airport
Always knew this channel would take off. I’ve been here since the 3K range

I thought you’d have been making a beeline for the funfair. That would have been an interesting two minutes at least.
Croissant with beans, pizza with a knife and fork? 24hrs with Britains sketchiest Eater.

Hey Ed, you should review the Birmingham Christmas Market next! Starts next week.
Omg luton 😂
I lived there for 3 years and there's a saying.
When you die if your good you go to heaven and if your bad you go to luton.
Just a thought Ed but when you were saying there's nothing to do while whinging about the fun fair, probably could have gone on the fun fair 😆
If you think Luton is bad. Try Hull. I've lived here for about 20 years (from Newcastle originally) and I'm convinced that it's declining on a daily basis.

it has supermarkets and um.....a kfc near by 😂😂

Re “local characters” of you don’t know any then you are the local character 😂😂

Absolutely hilarious, been to Luton a few times and I couldn’t wait to get out of there.
Congrats on 25k subbies! Another hilarious video! Are you growing a goatee? :)
Thank you! 😊 I mean its meant to be a tash I think
😀🥰
How can there be both nothing to do and a funfair in the town centre?
Ed can we please do something like visiting a nice town, not sure they are plentifully in the uk but would be entertaining to see if you can keep yourself entertained
Can't believe the hotel's tag line isn't 'Thistle do nicely' great video as always
Lived here all my life and now 26...
Ive seen people jump off the mall and die
ive seen people die from stabbings
ive seen women being assaulted
and ive seen police attacking innoncent women on there journey home.
This area is beyond a nightmare to live in. Nothing good has come outta luton except us making it to BPL...
This video made me laugh so much-the stimulating sage shower gel was the funniest 😂
You should of checked out the funfair 😂😂
love your worst review videos, what about worst reviewed hair dresser / massage etc holiday resort? or more hotels? food? -Have a great day
Just down the road from me. Honestly Ed, between Luton and my fiancé's home of Peterborough havls to be a toss up of the biggest dumps in the UK.
Airport is good prices wise though, I'll give it that.
As someone who lives in Luton the only thing going for it is the good transport links. Pretty much an overflow of London commuters
Not really anything to do, best local attractions Dunstable Downs or Whipsnade Zoo
Funny thing about this video is that the town centre is probably one of the nicer parts of Luton. Some areas like Bury Park, Marsh Farm and High Town are absolute shitholes
This video was bloody brilliant, brave boy.
Wouldn't be me lol

I was in Luton for a few days about 2 months ago. The people were absolutely lovely, but what a depressing dump of a town. Reminded me of home actually...
Question is this your main job or have another job to do alongside TH-cam? You make me chuckle so much I also live in Leeds
Main job now! 😊
Ed is the only other person who says "Breasticles" other than myself that i know of 😂
Any other breasticlers out there? 😂

Luton!! My home town. I escaped in 2013 though, but still go back for family and football. 😉
It's great, it's home. People love to hate it but what can you do, rent-free 🎉
Fair enough 👍
Hi Ed!
Bricklayers Arms for some good ales.
Wardown Park for... a park. Or Stockwood where the Radio1 Big Weekend is happening this year.

The Bury Park Experience.
The mecca of football, Kenilworth Road.
Come back and visit again.

Please you gotta do a video in Peterborough, it was rated worst city to live in England for 3 years in a row before we got beaten by Luton! There are decent places but for the most part its quite dead.
