I just must have good taste! I have more than just 'visited' some of the popular nominations on here.
I have LIVED in Rotherham and Oldham postal addresses.
I have WORKED extensively in Luton and still in Hull.
So what about the other places I have lived - Stockport, Blackpool, Wakefield, Levenshulme & Blackley (Mc/r) ? Any votes for these ?
Do you believe that every town has a 'better' area (except the last 2), that is not normally found between the station and the ground?

PS The first 3 years of my life was in Moulsecoomb.

Actually I worked in Luton during the Summer and there are some better areas out of the town centre.

Rochdale is probably the grimmest place I have ever seen in the UK

Blackpool and Oldham are horrific.

Awful.

Newton le Willows. Sounds nice, but isn't. Makes Stoke look like Florence.

I lived in Redhill for 18 years so i know all about Grim.
I now live in Longsight, Manchester. One of the areas in the 'murder triangle', and thats even classier than Redhill/merstham.
Have to say the worst place ive been to have to be either Bootle or Margate on a febuary morning.
But the grimmest was a suburb of Tallinn in Estonia which made 1980's Beirut look like a holiday in the maldives, Burnt out cars, crumbling tower block, kids throwing concrete from the top of these crumblinb towers onto the burnt out cars. the bus stops where mini-pubs for the local drunks, oh and it had a North Korean restaurant.

Some of Narm isnt that bad
Used to live off Queens road, and that was fine.
But in general all that area is bad.
Particulary Deptford and Woolwich which is just a mini-somalia. Not often you get offered weed outside a job centre
