What’s so bad about Peterborough? I’ve never been but it’s not somewhere I’ve ever heard mocked at all? I need to visit now!

I’ve just had a look at the list.
I thought Aylesbury was supposed to be nice? Or did I completely imagine that? I like York too. Our town featured in a book called crap towns. I think the author may have lived here in his youth.

Where I live is often voted one of the best places to live in the UK and has been number 1 on a few lists.
Looking at that list, I’m shocked at York being on there though. I love it, it’s a fab city. Can only think that locals maybe get fed up of tourists and I know they think it’s expensive there (it’s really not compared to other parts of the UK, but I think is for up north). As for Peterborough, I’ve only been once and that was just to the passport office. I can’t believe it’s the worst city in the UK though tbh 🤔

We visit around 3 times per year (last visit was BH weekend last week) and after our first visit on a Friday and Saturday night, we avoid those days now.
Must admit, the amount of drunken stag and hen parties was quite shocking - mostly from Newcastle one taxi driver told us. We mostly visit Sunday - Tuesday now and it’s a much nicer experience.

I live about 40 minutes from Peterborough , I go there frequently, as it happens I’ve been tonight there for a meal .
I travel a fair bit and I can’t see for the life of me why anyone would consider Peterborough to be one of the worst cities . Sure there’s a few rundown areas , and the gypsies run riot on the camp over near TC Harrison’s ( my husband works near there every night and sees what they get up to ) But the actually city is nice and safe enough . |

Yes it’s the staggering, swearing drunks all over town in the middle of the day and the piles of vomit- almost makes the centre a no go area on the weekend- frustrating to locals who work all week.
Pre pandemic, I once happened to be at the train station at 5pm on a Saturday- it was horrendous and very frightening with train loads of drunk people already leaving and others arriving for a night out. Plus the traffic - getting from one side of York to the other can take over an hour - really excessive for such a small place- combination of limited river crossings and the A1237 never being duelled. Add in a council that tends to put in policies for visitors not residents and you might begin to understand the issues behind the prettiness. Oh and I’ve forgotten race days- eurgh!
