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.

A Day Trip To Rochester, Kent | ad
Rochester in Kent makes a great wintery day trip, just 45 minutes from central London with Southeastern Railway.
With a beautiful high street lined with historic buildings, Rochester Cathedral and Rochester Castle – one of the best-preserved and finest example of Norman architecture in England, there’s plenty of things to see and do.
It’s also filled with independent stores and hidden gems. There’s Pips of Rochester, a lovely local greengrocers selling local produce, Kiss Kiss Heart and Paloma Studio which sell gorgeous gifts and Dickens House Wine Emporium – a wine store in a building that was once the apothecary where Charles Dickens collected his medicines.
The food scene in Rochester is also pretty special. Topes is the place for the best food in the town, serving gourmet dishes including pigeon, mackerel and sea bream. Fleur De Thé is a cute tea room / gift shop. It’s super photogenic and wow do they make a good cuppa!
Another great hidden gem was Playopolis Board Games Café just around the end of the high street. Opened last year, this family run board game café has over 700 board games, plus they serve fun cocktails too including Butterbeer!
Find out more about my day trip to Rochester in my blog packed with the top things to do, places to eat and great photo opportunities:
My day trip to Rochester was sponsored by Southeastern: If you fancy booking a trip to Rochester or somewhere else in Kent or East Sussex, check out their Off-Peak fares to get the best value ticket for your journey! Find out more here:

Orpington Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located within Greater London, and around 15 miles southeast of central London, is the town of Orpington.
The first recorded reference to Orpington dates back to 1032 when it was written as 'Orpedingtun', meaning 'farm belonging to Orped [a personal name]' in Old English.
For centuries, Orpington was a small country village surrounded by farmland. About a mile to the north of the town centre of today is St Mary Cray. Historically this was a separate settlement that developed into a small market town. The 'Cray' in the name comes from the River Cray - a tributary of the Thames whose source is at Orpington Pond (where the walk ends). It wasn't until the 19th century that either Orpington or St Mary Cray would see significant growth.
In 1868 the South Eastern Railway opened a station in Orpington. This marked the beginning of its transformation from a quiet village in Kent to a bustling suburban town. Growth remained steady until around the interwar period when the population hit 25,000. Another wave of growth occurred after the Second World War with the drive to rehouse those whose homes had been destroyed in the Blitz. This was coupled with the expansion of London outwards up until the establishment of the Metropolitan Green Belt, which today defines the boundaries of the capital. Orpington is just within the Green Belt as one of the most southeasterly parts of London.
Historically, Orpington was located within the county of Kent up until 1965 with the formation of the ceremonial county of Greater London. Concurrently, the London Borough of Bromley was created. This is the most southeasterly of the 32 London boroughs, and both the biggest, and most sparse in terms of population density.
Famous people from Orpington include Olympic athletes Dina Asher-Smith (100m & 200m) and Joe Choong (modern pentathlon).

How to visit Lavender Fields in London!! Only 30 minutes to get here from London Bridge #shorts
We took an express train from London Bridge to Orpington which took only 15 minutes 😳, then caught an Uber from the station to Castle Farm (another 15 minutes) where the lavender fields are located.
They have different areas for you to enter depending on which tickets you purchase, and we entered the Lavender Walk side, which is £4 entry per person.
It's recommended that you pre-book tickets online, especially on weekends as it's usually sold out. Tickets are released on a rolling schedule 10 days ahead of the event day, and will be on until late July so if you wanted to check it out, you still have time!
There's also guided tours + picnics, which is on the other side of the farm, as well as market stalls and The Farm Shop 💖
