Lived in MK since 1980. Fantastic place. Breathtaking in Spring & Autumn all the trees & shrubs showing their natural beauty. Lakes, walks, green areas, red ways for bikes & walkers. A vibrant city centre. Plus so much more. Yep, like anywhere, lots of rundown estates. Built, initially for the MK construction workers. But, public sector housing, even today.
Milton keynes literally has a huge shopping centre, nature parks, the national bowl and the mk dons stadium for music. It is better than most places in the UK.
I have to point out, you were in the city centre at the xscape and that you was also less than 5 minutes walk to Campbell park so the parking issue was not a good excuse not to walk
Lived in MK all my life, 34 years. Tbh it’s not that bad of a place, yes you get some rough areas, but where doesn’t have them. I also don’t go out much as I have autism and struggle with anxiety, but there is quite a lot to do if you wanted to :)
if you had just left your car at the xscape you could have just walked to campbell park. and you could have walked through the park to willen lake that has a big wheel, nice pub and wake boarding etc. also some people might have liked seeing the point before it dissapears and the main shopping centre which is the largest in europe. oh also mk is the home of the redbull F1 team.
The criticism comes from people nornally who don't live there and repeat the same old lines. PS the roundabouts stop all that polluting congestion you have in every other city,tge towns are off the major roads so no HGV through traffic,rush hour is busy but always moving so you can see the lakes,parks,woods etc. Shops in one with V so you dont have to drive all over place,smaller shopping zones food food shoppers who dont want the big day out. Low building regs so you can see for miles so no ' head' congestion. Much cheaper than over-rated London. Enjoy the traffic jams folks,we like our roundabouts. PSPS major roads are marked with V's and H for horizontal and vertical. MK is logical but has countryside everywhere and it takes 10 to 15 minutes to get anywhere North to South,East to West. Check itbour rather than copying the parrots. Its modern,cool,easy and if you want history its surrounded by lovely villages. And yes i do live here.
Mk also has many massive parks and lakes that are well looked after, nice canal walks, stony Stratford, particularly nice in the summer,it’s a bit like the nice bits of London, also soon it will have a few skyscrapers with viewing platforms.
also, you could've gone to the National Film and Sci-fi museum which also has a retro games arcade in it (although you have to pay separately for either the museum or the arcade)
Another great thing to do is to go watch mk breakers which is the local basketball team they’re very entertaining and it’s not very expensive to go watch
There are car parks all along the road that runs parallel to Campbell Park (before getting to the canal) or alternatively juat stay parked at Xscape/the city and walk down past the theater - 10 min walk max
If you went up 2 watford gap you might of well of gone to Northampton as well 😂 as someone who lives half an hour away from northampton and around 40 for milton Keynes i have to admit mk is better for a choice of things to do
Compared to a lot of places in England, you should be grateful to live in MK. Lots to do, plenty of beautiful scenery, close by to London without paying London prices on houses…it really is a nice area to live in.
You live 10 minutes from Swansea. Think it’s safe to say after visiting there that Milton Keynes is the better place. Countless things to do, more green spaces than any other city in the U.K…we literally have the best of both worlds here.

@@terranaxiomuk it's a dive mate.
Great Video
Love MK With all my heart ❤ and would love to give you blokes a little guided tour if you ever do a part two.. The City of Dreams 👊🏻👊🏻
You missed Willen Lake, its amazing there, boating, water skiing and so picturesque
Is it a safe area. Teenagers I mean.
@@jamescokl3 Yes it's safe, busy tho
@@Sheena1234ization thanks

You need a few trips to Bletchley Park just to get your head around the decoding. Fascinating.

five out of twenty five places.
What are you on about, it's got to be one of the most dire places I've encountered. You need to move and then see why it is so bad
@@URFUTUREUKI’ve lived & worked in many towns and cities around the country and MK is the best, and especially so if you’re disabled.
@@robertjohnsontaylor3187 my word, I think you need to get out more.
@@URFUTUREUK I don’t go around with either my eyes closed or ears stopped. What I am fed up with is bellyachers
5 Things To Do in Milton Keynes:
#1: Thank you for watching
That's not fair to the people there! There is also leaving
Great video and love the funny commentary 👍🏾👍🏾💯💯 Thanks for showing the fun side of MK 😂😂😎😎
the gates to that car park in campbell park are always shut but there are plenty more car parks on the other side that you can park in
Great video Kev…this is a breath of fresh air in travel videos…your voice over was brilliant, on par with the guy that does come dine with me 👍🏻
if you had just left your car at the xscape you could have just walked to campbell park. and you could have walked through the park to willen lake that has a big wheel, nice pub and wake boarding etc. also some people might have liked seeing the point before it dissapears and the main shopping centre which is the largest in europe. oh also mk is the home of the redbull F1 team.
Thought you might like to know that there are many car parks surrounding Campbell park and you could even have walked to Campbell park from the xscape
it's an American style could be anywhere motor city with, you best, vast car parks

You guys are amazing, hilarious. I loved your channel and immediately subscribed
Why do these videos get so little views. They’re literally some of the best out there on RUclips
Agreed
Mk also has many massive parks and lakes that are well looked after, nice canal walks, stony Stratford, particularly nice in the summer,it’s a bit like the nice bits of London, also soon it will have a few skyscrapers with viewing platforms.
Those aren't actually the original concrete cows, they are now on display in the grounds of MK museum (which is worth a visit) due to their fragility.
also, you could've gone to the National Film and Sci-fi museum which also has a retro games arcade in it (although you have to pay separately for either the museum or the arcade)
LOVE this series. The voiceovers are brilliant - keep up the great work guys!
Another great thing to do is to go watch mk breakers which is the local basketball team they’re very entertaining and it’s not very expensive to go watch

Loving this new style of vlog Kev! 🎉
FisherMead is a nice place to visit
Xscape not only have gym, but pool, sauna, steam room and clinic
I look forward to when you come and do Wells... apart from the Cathedral and Bishops Palace & Gardens, there isn't much to do.
Currently still living in mk and lived in mk for like 23 years and it has its good and it has its bad but overall it’s okay
Asda has no fitting rooms????🤷🏼♀️
If you went up 2 watford gap you might of well of gone to Northampton as well 😂 as someone who lives half an hour away from northampton and around 40 for milton Keynes i have to admit mk is better for a choice of things to do
But property in the MK postcode is about 20% more than an NN postcode, not to mention the price of renting in MK, its an expensive place to live.
tbf £300 for ski boots is pretty cheap 😀
wait you didnt go to stadium mk twitch got us thinking it was your favourite place
He went there for a match last season, thers a match vlog up on the Lollujo channel!
1. Leave
The end.
Why tho? Bet u never been
I agree and i live there.
Yeah I hated this place 10 years ago, I hate it now and I will probably hate it in 10 more years
concrete cows where there used to be real cows - sums up the horror that is Milton Keynes - anti nature and anti art at the same time
As someone that lives here is really not that exciting
Not rly the point tho
Compared to a lot of places in England, you should be grateful to live in MK. Lots to do, plenty of beautiful scenery, close by to London without paying London prices on houses…it really is a nice area to live in.
Yes, mk is OK if you have the money, but when you live in mk and have kids, just not good 😐
Number 1 leave
