10 Most Hated Towns in England

What are the most hated towns in England? No matter how good a country is, every part of it can’t be loved equally. In fact, some parts of it are bound to be hated. Even the most fanatic lover of a country will love some parts of it less than others. I have heard some people complaining about some towns in England, the home of the Queen that some people are dying to live and work in. That prompts research into the 10 most hated towns in England.
This ranking is based mainly on the comments and complaints of residents of England and visitors to those towns. But it’s not limited to that since some complaints can be completely baseless. We dig deeper in researching these 10 most hated towns in England.
10. Slough
Let’s begin with Slough, a town in Berkshire, within the historic county of Buckinghamshire. This town is 20 miles west of central London and 19 miles northeast of Reading. You will find the town in the Thames Valley and within the London metropolis around the area at the intersection of the M4.
In spite of its location, Slough according to those visitors, is a town whose streets are littered with empty takeaway and full of packets or empty beer cans. This assertion hasn’t been contradicted by even just one resident. The quality of food in the town’s restaurants appears, kind of, made for losers who’re just out to eat as much unhealthy food as they can get away with.
9. Scunthorpe
It’s not desirable to find Scunthorpe among the most hated towns in England. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to take it out of our list because the facts obviously place it there. This industrial town in the unitary authority of North Lincolnshire should normally be the pride of Lincolnshire as its main administrative center. But the town with an estimated population of 82,334 in 2016 had many things going against it.
Residents of the UK’s largest steel processing center, also known as the Industrial Garden Town, are frustrated by a lack of the liveliness and diversity in the town only known for work. However, the loudest grouse that lists Scunthorpe alongside the most hated towns in England is the indiscriminate censorship and blocking of websites for spurious reasons.

Wow, you’re really great as providing facts. Who ever knew that Scunthorpe had a population of 82million plus? That’s some town! It’s even bigger than the whole of the UK population!

I grew up on the St Helier estate in South London...built in the 30's when they gave a thought to community - they built quality solid brick houses, schools, hospitals, shops, etc. within the estate. Now it's all about profit and little else.

Didcot, I live here. Ok not the most dynamic place, but gangs at every turn!? Gangs of kids leaving litter behind whilst hanging out enjoying the weather in the parks is about as as dodgy it gets!

Slough - south Pakistan
Luton - central Pakistan
Dover - gateway to Pakistan

I was born in East London in the fifties an haved lived in Kent and now Lincolnshire. Over the years I have driven H.G.V's all over the country, and largely agree with the video and could probably add quite a few more towns. A lot of the problems are brought about by over population and a drop in personal pride from the population and disregard for their local community and just ask what is everybody going to do for me?

[elizabethannegrey]

I bet those same areas in the fifties were perfectly respectable towns, maybe a bit on the industrial end of things, but not crime hotspots.
I grew up in south London, very average, but with a rich history, parks and open spaces where children played, for the most part safely.
It was close enough to London by public transport which I, as a teenager, did not fear to use. Today, as an adult, I would hesitate.

Every town & city in Britain consists of boarded up shopfronts, Bookies, fruit machine arcades, coffee & charity shops. They’re ghost towns at a weekend & I can see no end to the degradation.

Basingstoke should be somewhere on this list . We spent a miserable Saturday lunch time there when our train to London had to terminate there due to high winds . We finished up in the worst Italian style restaurant I have ever been in, although to be fair it was crowded with local shoppers who all seemed to think it was marvellous . I guess it’s just a case of what you’re used to

The whole country's a mess why just isolate ten

A very amusing and well put together and entertaining video. Thank you. Very nostalgic as well. I've been to many of the towns mentioned and used to live in Luton. They're all actually fine. I feel people who criticise their towns are more likely critising their own lives. If you hsve friends and hobbies you tend to take from a town what it has to offer, rather than worry about what it doesn't have.

[borleyboo]

Hull and Bradford not on the list. And we all know why Dover is a dump now.

[DJFAmenHeavy]

Everywhere with a high black / Asian population 😂

Slough - shockingly awful. Best Night Out - ASDA

[kevinmunday]

I Come from Aylesbury, and altho its changed out of all recognition, its Certainly not the worst Town by a Very Long

[wendybrown]

Omg Chatham! My daughter has just spent 7 years at the wonderful fort pitt grammar school and there will be a lot of regeneration to come so hopefully it will be a loved town soon. My goodness please visit chatham dockyard, what a wonderful preservation .

[Mariazellerbahn]

Any town with a large influx of immigrants. Pretty much everywhere then.
It boils my piss that every railway station, supermarket or street, most people are not speaking English.

[gladiator]

These places are nice compared to Stoke on Trent !

[ChefEarthenware]

I used to work in Slough. It's just depressing. It's as if modern town planners got their hands on it and then ran out of money, so they didn't even vandalise it properly.

[theurbanghost]

Aylesbury hosted some amazing gigs in the 80s, and it had Oven Ready records! Not been there for a while but back in the day it wasn't so bad.

[lawrencegrantham]

Bradford the 'city of culture' 2025... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. And which culture would that Certainly not English ..
