- Today, we're diving into a surprising ranking from a recent survey by the consumer group "Which." They asked over 4,000 people to rank the 25 largest cities in the UK from best to worst to visit, and the results are in. Buckle up, because here are the 10 worst cities to visit in the UK, according to the survey.
Number 10: Plymouth
This port city in Devon was named one of Europe’s most beautiful ugly cities.
Number 9: Birmingham
Birmingham just can't seem to avoid these lists, can it?
Number 8: Coventry
The home of Godiva finds itself ranked quite low.
Number 7: Sheffield
Once an industrial powerhouse, Sheffield isn’t recommended for tourists.
Number 6: Milton Keynes
People think this city is too sterile and lacking in character.
Number 5: Aberdeen
Aberdeen also made it to the top third in the most depressing places to live in one of my previous videos.
Number 4: Southampton
Despite being one of England's biggest ports, it doesn’t have much to offer tourists.
Number 3: Leicester
Even one of the biggest comedy festivals couldn’t make Leicester a desired tourist destination.
Number 2: Swansea
Wales’ second-largest city scored just two stars out of five.
Number 1: Derby
With poor hotels, a lack of cultural sights, and not many nice restaurants, Derby takes the top spot as the worst city to visit in the UK.

Which city would you add to the list?
Bradford
Swindon
Nottingham
Bradford is the go-to worst place! Although in a funny way it could actually be quite a nice place to visit, especially if you get out of the centre!
Norwich
No explanation for Birmingham. I'm dying.
Depends on the area u go to
@marthasheilds2446 Wow, full of bigots? I guess thats what you get when you have a 53% ethnic population. Old world and outdated ideology encroaching on western liberalism.
@marthasheilds2446 It has more ,miles of canal than Venice. I t's a good stopping off point for Stratford - on Avon. It's good for shopping. But these places that are dismissed by tourists were historically the breadwinners of the country.
I was born in Birmingham grew up there and lived in Litchfield for 3 years before emigrating to South Africa. I went back once in 1991. People ask me if I miss England. What's to miss?
@@leemugleston6422 I remember it fondly growing up there for the parks, the schools, the local library, the local swimming pool, the local cinema, the local records shop, the local butchers with the best sausages I've ever tasted, Woolwrorths, the local ballet school I attended weekly, and my friends and weekly trips to the South Warwickshire countryside. Sadly the swimming pool, cinema, record shop, butchers and ballet school have all gone now. My primary school was knocked down and rebuilt under the same name on another site and my secondary school ceased to be a grammar and became a comprehensive so not much remains the same. The parks and the countryside are still there.
Any video controlled by AI makes any list invalid.
its only ai voice
To be fair the list is pretty accurate. The UK has some stunningly beautiful areas and scenery. It also has a contrasting number of absolute shite-buckets of cities and most of them are named here.
Any English people notice a theme here 😂

@@southeastlondontransport5859no I live in Coventry
Thanks @@Sharkyyco
I'm sorry but how any of these places could be worse than Stoke is beyond me.
So true 👍
Go to Normanton in Derby, then tell me it’s worse than stoke!😂
Coventry centre is grim tbf
Jeez! I HAVE to go there then! Its on my fuckit list. 😁😂❤
My first thought exactly 😭
Sheffield made me laugh. It’s literally the greenest city in Europe and is surrounded by the UK’s best countryside 5 miles out of the centre.
It's only the greenest city in Europe because it's city boundary includes a huge uninhabited part of the peak district. Yes the west of the city is very nice, but the centre is a complete shithole, and that's what people come to visit in a city, not the suburbs.
@@JD-lp5rw No, the city doesn't include a "huge uninhabited part of the Peak District", the city has 47 parks, for a start, the presence of some extreme hills that you can't build on is significant, and there are loads of trees everywhere.
@@neilbarnett3046 yes it does, look up a map of the city boundary, it's on wikipedia buddy.
@@neilbarnett3046 in this boundary map, the urban area of Sheffield makes up about only 40% of the city limits. It is a fairly green city for UK standards, in the west of the city. But there are far far greener cities in Europe.
Greenest city in Europe is a slogan often touted by people without examining the actual reason. If it had normal boundaries, it would be nowhere near the greenest.
Well you said it, outside of the city. The city centre is a bomb site right now. The violence is getting generally worse. I don’t think anyone would want to stay in an Airbnb in gleadless valley.
Southampton ? are you fucking kidding me , it goes back to pre roman time, the Titanic and the Mayflower set sail from here , Henry V army left here to eventually fight the battle of Agincourt , and the SPITFIRE was designed and built here ,and we still have most of the medieval walls and bargate still standin , wtf have you yanks got?
It also has the New Forest, South Downs, Isle of WIght, Saslisbury, Winchester right on its doorstep.
It had a medieval quarter before the Luftwaffe decided it wanted to re-arrange the city. Having said that there are better cities than Southampton to visit for sure.
@@Scaleyback317you are correct, and even Southampton City Center has a nice collection of shops for locals like Ikea
But very sadly, the city indeed offers nothing to tourist at all (except as a stopover for people visiting the places you mentioned above)
@@Scaleyback317Not to mention, the Common. I lived and worked in Soton thirty years ago. Rough and ready, no doubt, but some of the loveliest, kindest, most generous people I've ever known. Southampton is great.
@@ianworley8169 And something everybody has missed - it has the mighty Saints which was the throne of the finest football player the world has ever seen - Le God!
I loved Southampton when I visited it, much better than Portsmouth at any rate (though Portsmouth is also very rich in history and produced some remarkable people).
Bradford not even on the list? Should be number 1
What about Coventry?!
@@robtyman4281 number 8
Here, on RUclips, someone made some videos, where it is said that the worst pllaces (towns) to live are Peterborough and Luton.
What do you think about it? What is your opinion about those pllaces.?🤔
Please, share your point of view...😊
Luton is definitely no 1 worst place to live in the uk
@@sportsman2103 Thanks for your opinion, mate. 🤝But, could you, please, explain, why this is the worst one? 🤔
the five worst places to visit in the UK are north london, south london, west london, east london and central london
I was trying to think of a smart reply to this but can't & I pretty much agree. Touché! 😂
Still better than Swindon and Luton
💯💯💯
London is ranked as one of the top cities to visit in Europe. Get over yourself.
@@hrussell9677 I didn't say it wasn't one of the best cities in Europe to visit just that it's the worst place in the UK in case you don't understand that means even the worst the UK has to offer it's still better than the vast majority of European cities how about you sit down have a nice cup of tea and get over it.
People who say Plymouth and Derby is a bad place have never been to Derby or Plymouth
Been to Derby a few times and it is quite good
@@RingerMatthew Derbys alright, especially if you like trains. Plymouth is depressing but also alright. Great for food, music, sea
@@johnselekta Thing is Plymouth was almost totally destroyed by german bombing raids so lost most of its heritage and history.
Derby is a dump.
Not cities but if you want to visit a real shithole just look for Luton and Scunthorpe
Plymouth’s not that bad. Beautiful setting and some terrific architecture. Don’t forget Hitler hammered Plymouth.
Yes, I was surprised. The harbour, Barbican, lido, Hoe, etc, etc, etc. Plus a great base to visit other places like Looe, Polperro, and Burgh Island.
The issue is as soon as you leave the hoe or RWY or the Barbican, the city is horrifically poor and has an awful crime rate
@@Overthinkingerrors It does not have an awful crime rate at all. "The overall crime rate in Plymouth in 2023 was 49 crimes per 1,000 people. This compares poorly to Devon's overall crime rate, coming in 20% higher than the Devon rate of 41 per 1,000 daytime population. For England, Wales, and Northern Ireland as a whole, Plymouth is the third safest city, and the 4,356th most dangerous location out of all towns, cities, and villages."
Also referred to as Mitcham-on-sea
@@StoffelDilligas Are you dissing Mitcham? Saaaaf Londons Roadmen will be after you for that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Swansea has far more to offer than Birmingham
Bro thinks hes funny😭, Swansea is so ded
Disagree with this statement totally 😊
I live in Swansea and it is one of the nicest cities I the uk I love it here
You peeps so brain washed by London surveys, it's load of bollox 😮😅😂😂😂
It has far more to offer than Milton Keynes, but Birmingham? Give me a break 😂
Luton. No explanation is needed.
Luton is not a city
I live in Sheffield it's great here, it was ranked recently one of the best European cities for a city break so I don't know what this list is on about
I don’t think a sample of 4,000 people out of millions is a particularly accurate way to rank anything. I live in Plymouth btw lol
Probably almost as accurate as those voting polls the media rely so much on for pre election facts.
Yeah this guy is just yapping, doesn’t know anything
do some googling. if the sample size reflects the demographics accurately then even 1-2k is ok for a couple hundred million people. it's how pollster can give you a pretty good idea of an election, for instance.
Plymouth is where the Post-War government dumped all its spare pebbledash and then just kinda forgot about it.
@@ThePedroppztell that to Hillary
Sheffield is beautiful and Milton is clean as heck
Sheffield is most certainly not beautiful lol. Saying that as a Sheffield resident. City centre is embarrassing.
@@JD-lp5rwcentre is shit the rest is good
Stoke survives another day 🎉😎
Stoke and Blackpool joint first
Now you're talking. Stoke definitely deserves a place on the list. Not a city, but Merthyr Tydfil is probably the grimmest place in the UK I've ever visited. The good news is they're currently building a super highway over it so you can pass through in just a few minutes.
Not a city, but Northampton fucking sucks
Aberdeen isn't that bad, ok it can be cold, dark and gloomy in winter, but when the sun appears fir those 3 days per year, the city sparkles and the beaches here are actually pretty good.
😂😂 thought it was 3.7 days
Yeah, I spend two years there in the late 90s and it wasn't so bad. I later got engaged to my ex whose family is from the country about an hour away. I do get a bit of nostalgia from it.
Brazilian here, visited Aberdeen and loved it! Yeah, I understand why it can feel depressing (specially in winter) but it's beautiful and calm IMHO. Still planning to spend a year there one day.
Was there for Uni and loved it. Will likely move back as housing much more affordable there but the economy needs to be stable (the oil and gas industry is there).
Bradford.
God help ANYONE who has the misfortune to visit this dump.
I live in Bradford, it’s honestly not that bad lol
@@NiSiochainGanSaoirse Do you know Haworth is part of the city of Bradford? I don’t think it is as bad as Luton, Stoke and Watford.
I lived on manningham lane for a short while.
Believe me, it's as bad as that.
Manningham is what happens when Islam becomes dominant in a community.
We ate being bullied, racially attacked, and maligned.
I know haworth. I grew up in Bingley. I KNOW nice areas which don't have Islamic dominance, but let's be honest, it's spreading outwards from the city centre, and even haworth and Bingley are slowly changing.
I will not take this Leicester slander, it’s a great city and there’s plenty to do. You could fill a week’s holiday just by going to curry houses!
Give me things to do in Leicester please 😭 it’s so boring
1# Be thankful you're not in Coventry. (Disclaimer, I was born in Leicester and work in Coventry, so I may be biased). Seriously though, I've been to some pretty great gigs & comedy shows at DeMontfort hall, Its a little out of the city centre, but not too far really. I can think of some pretty good bars but I am about 10 years out of date tho 😋
Absolutely scandalous, we should be no. 1 on the list of awful cities😞
@@chrisdowns1987same here 👍🏾. Born in Leicester, worked and lived in Coventry 🙄
😂 more so than Birmingham?
I am Australian and have vsited all of the cities on the list except for Milton Keynes and Aberdeen. I enjoyed my visits to all of them. There were places of great interest and good people in all of them. For example, the waterfront of Plymouth is wonderful - the Mayflower set off from there and Drake's bowling green is right there too. The surrounding area is beautiful as well. All of these "worst cities" are great!
Crikey . I’m lost for words
I loved Plymouth on my visit. I only visited major cities and only saw the countryside by train. Going back ASAP.
Where was Bradford
No city found.
Do you mean "Bradfordistan"?

Sheffield is great, i always have a good time when i go its a good night out
That makes this list a bit off for me
Born and bred in Sheffield but what is there for tourists? There's very little. Great for real ale and football but that's about it.
@@thomasjellis9465 That is most ex-industrial cities though. What is there to do in any of them, apart from get bladdered and watch football. Liverpool is possibly the exception.
@@thomasjellis9465you have the Peak District what makes up 1/3 of the city. You obviously don’t get about that much
@@Indigenous-English-Man No, because I've lived in Asia for 10 years but my family has lived in the Hope Valley area for generations. Wonderful statement you made, a third of the Peak District is indeed inside Sheffield but the best parts of the Peak District are not in that third. Castleton and the Hope Valley, Bakewell, Eyam, Kinder Scout are nowhere near Sheffield. No one going to the Peak District stays in Sheffield.
@@thomasjellis9465 The Peak District right next door, 2 massive football stadiums, a mostly beautiful city centre, Meadowhall & Crystal Peaks, loads and loads of parks.
DAMN YOU, SHEFFIELD IS BEAUTIFUL
swansea is beautiful and has some of the best beaches in northern europe. it has a nice marina and great nightlife as well.
Erm Sheffield's actually a great city. It's music scene is vibrant and booming!
The Leadmill is still doing great after all these years..
Sheffield gets rated high on city break lists in recent times
@@jasonfearnley1744 I like it. Good people, nice scenery around it. Plus it is a proper Northern city. Leeds a wannabe Manchester, Manchester a wannabe London, Liverpool take a day off. Sheffield is authentic.
No way Portsmouth didn't make that list! Seriously?
You've obviously never strolled round the historic dockyard, Old Portsmouth, or Southsea promenade with views of the Isle of Wight. It's not the most beautiful city in England but it should rightfully be nowhere near a top ten worst.
@@carpog oh, I have. Many times before, and will probably do the same in the future. And yes, there are some pretty good places there.
Absolutely loved Portsmouth when I visited. I’d move there tomorrow
Southampton is much better .
According to this the midlands is the biggest shit hole in Britain. As a Northerner I can say without a shadow of a doubt. This list is so wrong it defies belief. There's Yorkshire & Lancashire places much worse. Then there's places further North easily worse than these areas. Southampton is one of the poshest places I've been to in our country. In fact folk from Southampton couldn't last 2 mins where I'm from.
Bro didn't even explain why Birmingham and Coventry were on the list 💀
I'm going to Birmingham next month. Can't wait!
we literally have lady godiva why are we here
Actually I did not find Sheffield so bad. Attending often the Snooker World Championchip.
Aberdeen is actually really nice.
It's safe and prosperous with beautiful countryside and villages nearby.
And the Cairgorms is an hour drive away!
It's even got a beach..
Yes, it's all grey and can get cold, but it's not 'depressing'..😂
Don't Agree about Sheffield, can think of 100s of places worse than that ,and it's still very much a White city ,and a 3rd of it is in the Peak District.
What's a white city? Presumably, no council houses with England flags hanging from a bedroom window? 😅 have you ever been out of the UK and seen how modern the rest of the world is? We're not all that here in England, Pal.
Milton Keynes is unique in the UK, worth a visit.
Lived in Southampton all my life. It used to be a quiet city but Southampton over the years has become extremely touristy and they have developed the city so much. Tons of restaurants and also has 3 shopping malls, West Quay, John Lewis and the Marlands with tons of shops which most malls in different cities do not have. There is always events happening as well almost every other week too. There’s also the boat show which Southampton does every single year, sometimes even twice a year. There’s also a ton of history in Southampton as well
I'm Saint Born an bred an it's a shitole an You know it ahaha
I lived in Brum for a while & found it a really interesting city to walk around. The canal network is fascinating to explore, and Digbeth was just starting to become a ‘funky town’ while I was there. Its industrial heritage means a lot of interesting old buildings about the place, many of which are being sympathetically restored & repurposed. One thing I did notice was the number of public clocks there telling the wrong time, which for a renowned clock & watch making centre struck me as being quite odd!
Derby is better than every other city on this list, what are people thinking, it actually has a relatively nice city center.
The trouble people find with Milton Keynes is often visitors don't see the best of it, they come off the train and have to walk uphill to find hotels in the middle of the concrete bit, amongst boring office buildings, or they drive there and the main motorway exit is close to a sewage plant and car dealerships, along with warehouses and industrial parks, but they miss the huge amount of parkland that runs throughout the city with public art and sports activities, the higher amount of jobs and small businesses compared to most other cities of equal size, and the amount of restaurants and shops.
Some areas are dodgy like Fishermead, but most of areas have better quality of life than the national standard.
What it lacks is a beautiful old centre of town because of its history as a 70's "new town", but if you go to Olney, Woburn, or Stoney Stratford you can experience some of that, along with peaceful village areas in Milton Keynes Village, Woolstone, Woughton, and Bradwell, as well as Linford Manor.
I would just say that Milton Keynes isn't advertised as well as it should be, too many people visit on business trips and think their brief stay in a Premier Inn is enough to really experience the city.
You can paint it any colour you like but Milton Keynes is awful.
why city councils are making uk cities so ugly??
Part of a greater demoralisation campaign against native Brits by a hostile government. Alongside flooding the UK with 3rd world animals.
Do you think it’s deliberate?!
Take Southampton off the list - swap for Portsmouth.
Southampton is a dump. What's wrong with Portsmouth?
Sheffield being on this list, let alone being 7th, makes this entire list invalid. Best city behind London in my opinion, and that’s from someone who lived and studied there for 2 years
You haven't been to many cities have you. Being a student is very different otherwise living in a city.
@@JD-lp5rw Tell me what makes other cities better than Sheffield then? Most just have more identikit talll glass buildings and that's it.
Birmingham only at 9??? The worst place on planet earth outside of the United States of course.
Wrong. I've travelled all over the world. I actually worked for Birmingham City Council. Birmingham is a fantastic city. Don't judge it until you've been there. You would all be very very surprised. Comment below if you want more info. I'll be privileged to educate.
@@baseman2002 Yeah its no where near as shit as a lot of people make out plenty to do in Brum
And yet there are so many Londoners in Brum 🤔 and I don't mean students.
You haven't been there recently, that's obvious. Brum's a great city to visit. I love it.
“outside of the United States of course”
Me when South Sudan exists
Sheff is nice, I’ve never lived there but always enjoyed visiting mates there
I live in Sheffield and it is a decent place, we have lots of greenery and nature trails to explore
Sheffield is bloody brilliant
Never been to Liverpool I'm guessing.?
You'd be on the first bus back out.
Are scousers that bad?? 👿😜
Liverpool was our favorite place to visit. Great music scene with lots of live acts in bars, now ranked the 11th top foodie scene in the world, and all the Beatles sites. Plus the port, the Cathedral, and the Maritime Museum along with the ferries along the Mercy. Wonderful fun city-and best of all-all the Irish Liverpudlians who have a sense of humor and love of having fun, unlike the rest of dour England. Definitely recommend it over all other cities in England except London.
Sheffield???
I just spent two days in Sheffield. And I really liked it.
OK, it's not exactly Paris. But it's far from ugly.
The locals are friendly and helpful.
Only the part around Kingsize Tobacconists felt iffy (I called in to buy some local Wilson's of Sharrow snuff).
Other than that, I liked it a lot.
Far worse cities in the UK.
4000 people who've never been to Wigan. I don't blame them.
I saw a meme a few weeks ago that read 'However bad you think your life is, just bear in mind that some people live in Stoke.'
From Nottingham and I can confirm, Lecster and Derby are horrendous places. 😂
I wanna go home X2 l Forest's a shithole I wanna go home
keep my countys name out ya fuckin mouth, Derby is a shitehole yh but come on luvvy Notts aint no better 😂
So is Nottingham.
@@vordmanhahaha we have some of the best nightlife and sporting facilities in the country along with a town center that's packed, cry more Der-Wait Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire technically don't exist any more, as we're just one big collective now, eh Derbys a great city. The derbyion's cool and that river which runs through the city is mint yeah
@@freddiemedley5580 Yep, and people get hacked to death in the street by homicidal Africans.
There are far worse places to visit in the uk, and Southampton isn’t a bad place even for tourists.
What is so bad about Southampton??????
Southampton is blighted because of the 50s and 60s concrete regeneration. Some stunted pigmy called Adolf took a dislike to Southampton because of a company called Vickers and a little plane called a Spitfire. So many parts production facilities were dotted around Southampton that the Luftwaffe had no choice but to bomb the crap out of the entire area. Southampton born and bred. Love the place. It looks a bit crappy, but understand why! Rest of the U.K. you are welcome!😂
I live in Southampton and to be honest apart from the walls , the Bargate and the titanic museum what else is there ?
How dare you say that Southampton is 4th. We actually have a lot of things to visit.
Bradford is the worsed place by far!
Bristol should have been on that list.
I live in Southampton and I would wholeheartedly disagree, this city is not 4th worst. Definitely not near the top but is isn’t terrible, don’t go towards the centre, that is boring! Just stay around the edge or a bit further in, it’s a decent city then.
This is the absolute worst opinion I've ever heard about southampton. Please never talk about it ever again.
There is absolutely nothing to do around the edges unless you are a 40 year old man going to garden centres for fun
Always amazes me how people seem to think that Birmingham is worse than Coventry and Leicester 🤷🏻♂️ - to be expected if you’re the most relevant city in the Midlands I guess.
And second most relevant in the UK, we get bitterness from every direction because they want what we have.
UK is gone, reduced to diversity.
The United Kingdom was always a industrial country .
I remember growing up in the 1980s in the south of England. We had days out in the UK, excursions, holidays were abroad with only camping holidays or potins or butlins as the alternative in the UK .
95% of your life was your dad working 12 hour days 5-6 days a week . And your mum running the house , washing the floor 8 times a day , baking , cooking and a mountain of clothes washing and ironing . This was pretty much everyday of the year - weekend may have been a social club for a dance , drink and space invader. Week days was all work
90s ( early ) I remember just leaving school . I used to frequently walk back from my friends house at night ...basically the whole town was in bed by 10pm as it was a work day . The streets conpletely empty with the odd dog walker or boy racer . Monday - Friday nearly every week was all about work and going to it . the pubs were never packed during the week - restaurants were few and far between 80s/early 90s . And takeaways were only a handful really spread across the entire town ...with parades of shops consisting of a off licence , news agent , 1 x chippy , maybe a butchers in the odd case . And that was it for every estate outside town . Usaully an estate or collection of estates had 1 pub - that usaully didn't serve food .
Food in most pubs didn't start till the 90s - if food was served it was crisps ,peanuts, pork scratchings , a seafood man would come round to the pubs at night to sell seafood . On event nights - chippys would supply the food via ticket price to pub/social club event .
We had nightclubs but in the 1980s only the young , divorced or single went to them - and they were most certainly not as popular as today . In the early 80s - we had a Chinese, French and maybe 1 or 2 other restaurants in our town . I never went in them in my life - my mum and dad - only went to them at a anniversary. Weekends were going out for a spin in.the car - chicken in a basket , ice cream at a beach .
In summary my point being = industrial nature...everyone was working during the week and hardly anyone went out during the week . Hospitality may as well have been closed till Friday . With this culture/attitude- you get "Grey" cities
london cant be counted as its no longer british
Londons a cesspit
London has never been "British", it has been the administrative hub of government and empire, a centre of world trade, literally cosmopolitan.
Cry more
As a Brit, my least favourite place to go is London. It’s too crazy, can’t do anything without someone breathing down your neck because you’re walking to slow
Don't know why Plymouth is on there cause its brilliant it got the best beaches in britan its not called the ocean city for no reason. Its also the reason the USA is here
So Leicester with King Richard buried here has nothing for tourists?
Hideous city!
Absolutely ridiculous
Dumb for sure. Survey of 4000 members is hardly scientific, could take it more seriously if it was random surveys although its still not enough
@@JungleTunes94 nothing scientific, I’m convinced they’ve never visited these cities let alone applied anything scientific. They probably think dinosaurs were just fantasy…
Derby lol. Im from Burton-upon-Trent a satellite town of Derby. Yea its a sit hole .
I moved to Cornwall second i left school literally never been back in 22 years .
My advice dont go to any major city in England. To places like Bath and York , Bakewell no bigger . Go to the lake district, peak district, Cornwall then leave . All the cities are disgusting.
I moved to Camborne from the Black Country (west mids) as soon as I left school in 2003.
Ridiculous list, Manchester and Stoke aren't even on the list, let alone London.
Lived in Sheffield all my life hardly ever makes the news, which to me is a good thing.
Also bare in my mind 4th largest city in the UK idiots.
Bradistan...a beautiful disaster
Here woo. I work and travel all over the UK. And have to admit each one of those places has a cracking working class charm... however; London: emotionless, greedy, expensive, dirty, and generically horrid!

Most of those places aren’t actually that bad, they just don’t have much to offer for tourists.
Southampton has its historic walls and catacombs. Some of which are over a 1000 years old. The main part of town is good for nightlife and live music and entertainment. Theres loads of green space. It has so much art and culture, but it is a shithole in areas. Just like every city
The thing about Southampton is that it's not Portsmouth. Now, that really is a shithole. That needs a video of its own
There's far more heritage for tourists in and around Portsmouth though, from roman forts come medieval castles, to the bulk of the countries naval heritage from the Tudor era through to the present day and its also home to the current commissioned fleet. Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth and there is the Dickens museum. Don't forget Isambard Brunel. Portsmouth is also seen on the world stage more.
@@manmaje3596 Read your history mate
@@Scooot1972 I have read my history thank you very much. Don’t get offended just because Southampton got mentioned and Portsmouth didn’t. I’m not saying Southampton doesn’t have its own history but in terms of shaping the nation over the centuries Southampton doesn’t hold a candle to the historical beacon which is Portsmouth.
@manmaje3596 Portsmouth was part of Southampton. For years until a couple of centuries ago. We ran both docks. That is where the hatred first started, not with the strikes last century. Tou wanted to break away for financial reasons, but we got merchant shipping making money. You sailors and prostitutes and it's lived on until this day
@@Scooot1972 Right I’m done here. You are deluded beyond all measure. You’re doing your home town of Scumpton proud.

Sheffield is the greenest city in Europe
Which idiots said Sheffield was a bad place to visit? it's literally right next to the Peak District, one of the most beautiful places in the country.
Okay but they were voting based on the city not based on places close to the city. I would definately put other cities as worse than sheffield but your comment doesnt make sense.
@@paulosullivan3472 One third of Sheffield is within the Peak District.
@@Martin-88 But that is totally irrelevant to the point, the point is they werent voting on the peak district being a place to visit they were voting on whether sheffield was a nice place to visit.
@@paulosullivan3472 The original poster mentioned the Peak District. You said we're not talking about places near the city. I told you a big chunk of it is actually IN the city.
@@Martin-88 The poster was saying that sheffield shouldnt be on the list because its close to the peak district. My point was that people werent voting on what is near a city but on the city itself, and people have voted that Sheffield not the peak district is not worth visiting.
If this list is actually based on a Which? survey I'd like to know more about the criteria used. With so many of the places listed having large immigrant populations I'd be interested to know the demographic of the readership of the consumer magazine and to ask whether xenophobia lay behind the results.
OI LEAVE PLYMOUTH OUT OF THIS
How is Southampton on this list💀
What are the best? Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester and of course London. That’s the big cities.
Sometimes Leeds
@@lifetruthseeking5808 Leeds has some nice bits.
Learn the difference between greater Manchester and city on manchester, also Leeds bigger than at least two of the cities mentioned there
@@jackthelad5366 Leeds isn’t in the same league as those cities.
@@paulwild3676 silly boy, got a bit of chip on your shoulder, don’t bother replying
Sheffield is a beautiful green city and has thousands of students with two universities.
Walking around Sheffield city centre, beautiful isn't one of the words that comes to mind.

Meadowhall wrecked Sheffield city centre.
Why did they build that stupid monstrosity?
@@tumslucks9781 yep really did. Although there is more to it, as big out of town shopping centres haven't wrecked other cities like Sheffield.
It'll be the council. Like most councils, they do the best to wreck and ruin the cities they govern, and they're all eco maniacs.
@@JD-lp5rwWhat's your agenda?! You've commented on every reply regarding Sheffield 🤔
Are you from Leeds or did your ex run off with a Sheffielder 😂
I live in lovely Brighton (ex student in Sheffield 20 years ago)and we all love the place.
@@JD-lp5rwIt's the same everywhere though. Go to Manchester and walk through Piccadilly Gardens. Go to London amd walk through Tower Hamlets.
Worst city is Manchester 😢
I dont know if Sheffield used to be a "sh*te-hole" but I've been living here for 6+ years and it's very nice! I guess people should go visit some other cities in the North to realise what "sh*te-hole" really means 😂😂😂
I mean I can only think of Bradford, hull, and Doncaster now, that are bigger shithole cities in the north.
Facts, Derby is dire
The worst place in uk is better then best place in india 😢
When I saw Swansea in that list I thought yep that's about right but then I thought haven't they been to Newport that's worse than all these places on this list.😂
Cardiff , Wrexham, Bradford, Rotherham ect ect 😂
@@AustraliaDaz1 I wouldn't disagree with that list you've put up either.😂
Sheffield is a beautiful little university’s town with a canal and old building, this is bs
It's certainly not little, it's England's 4th most populous city, but yes it's beautiful and has lots to offer.
University town? It's a big industrial city, not a university town. Sounds like you've just spent time in the leafy student areas. Compared to most big cities, it's a complete dump.
@@JD-lp5rw It's not a dump at all. It has a few bad areas, but so does every large city. Lots of parks and greenery, the Peak District is 5 miles away, great pubs, sporting heritage and friendly people.
as someone from swansea i agree
Oh, come now. The coast is lovely. I lived there for a few years, and no, it's not got much boring touristy stuff to do, but if you're an outdoors person who likes walking, it's great.
@@peterclarke7006”Its great for walking”😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Coventry doesn’t deserve to be in the list
I work in Cov, not the worst place but pretty bad tbh. Getting in & out seems to get worse by the day, everyone seems in a permanent bad mood + it just seems more broken & abused as time goes on 🙄 I think I actually prefer Nuneaton or Bedworth to the north (can't actually believe I said that).
@@chrisdowns1987Cov is officially the 6th least conjested city in the UK, you have a fantastic road network. Try gettin' arand in Lesta during rush hour, the only UK city without a ring road.
@thecoops2329 Cov doesn't have a ring road, it has Russian roulette! I do like that it gets closed & becomes something of a racetrack for the car show though 😂 I don't think I can forgive it for having to commute there for the last 5-6 years + I have to get through Nuneaton first 🙄
@@chrisdowns1987 Anytime I have to go somewhere there once I'm on the 69 the rest of the journey's a breeze, getting through the 5 miles journey in Lesta to the 69 however is an entirely and horrific other matter 😔
@thecoops2329 True, proper eyes on a swivel coming up Narborough road with insane traffic, weird lanes & people crossing everywhere! I'm now questioning why I prefer Leicester to Cov 😂 I guess the main difference is purely why & when I'm there. Cov, it's always in rush hours & I'm there for work. Leicester, for me, is usually off peak & of my own choice.
Add Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and London to the list - awful places
Delusional to put London there. In fact I wouldn't put any of them anywhere near the list.
@@Ramirez_477 expensive...full of ignorant people ( the most unfriendly in the whole of the UK) ...high crime rate...every chance of losing your property or being mugged even in the centre itself
Manchester's a fantastic city. I had a weekend there last year. Can't fault the place. Clean. Friendly. Easy to get around. Top notch imho.
You’re so right about Manchester its a toilet and violent. But I guess it’s what you’re used to
Nobody that has ever visited Newcastle says that it is awful 😂 only those who live 200 miles away and have never been.
Swansea and Birmingham doesn't surprise me as I've genuinely felt depressed walking around both of them at how grey they were the last time I was there.
Southampton surprises me though, as a tourist place to visit sure I don't know what you'd do there but it's generally got very nice area's in and around it that I wouldn't mind living in.
D**by I completely agree,Nottingham on the other hand is a great city to vist
As a Yorkshireman stuck in Southampton, the only reasons to visit Southampton is the annual boat show and Southampton University (not to be confused with the polytechnic that is Solent University). Although I will say have parks that are parallel to the high street is nice. And after 21 years here that's all the nice comments I can give about Southampton.
as a sheffieldian i will not stand for this
Suprised Leicester isn't number one, you would think you were Pakistan, a city with no culture whatsoever.
Sheffield isn't recommended for it's own inhabitants either...It's council is Shyte and hates it's citizens.
I live in a small town a little way out from Plymouth and I’m so surprised it isn’t higher on the list
There are some very pretty parts I’m not denying that (e.g I’d you are interested look at photos of royal William yard, or the hoe, or the Barbican) although due to it being heavily bombed during WW2 as a large port city when they rebuilt it Plymouth lost the majority of its charm in addition there is rampant poverty which neither the council or government seem to care about
Hahaha, this is an awful list in my opinion. I reside in London and it's undoubtedly the worst city. Coventry and Birmingham are great places to visit, with a lot of things to do and places to eat and drink. It's likely that you're visiting Portsmouth just so you can reach the beautiful Isle of Wight.
Bruh half of the “cities “ aren’t cities
