The east coast, Lincolnshire, Hartlepool, clacton on sea, bradford.
I have a rule of thumb when it comes to going places.. i dont go further east than nottingham and dont go further north than york.
Id happily chop off the east coast and push it into the sea |

But then you'd miss out in Durham and Edinburgh. Two great cities |

I was working in Tilbury yesterday. That was pretty grim.
Now I'm on the outskirts of Farnborough about to go to Bournemouth, so that'll be mainly full of pensioners!

There's plenty of really nice areas in Lincolnshire. Louth for example. Sudbrooke as well, just a big line of mansions. |

There are some misserable and run down places in the valleys.
I've stayed all over the UK because of work and I can think of quite a few places.
The Isle of Sheppey off the coast of Kent was one and some grim places up north. |

Bournmouth is one of my favourite places to visit. Anywhere along that coast would suit me. |

"Hull was pretty dire, but now I'm here and it's a lovely bright place to be. Come and visit.  "
I have spent very little time in Hull, but working there once I literally saw queues of people standing in the rain waiting for their beloved fishmongers to open... really left an impression. |

A lot of people say Luton, but they not well travelled probably not past their front gate, we have lived here all our lives, sure some parts not great, been to some really dire places, but I'm old enough and wise enough to know you would need to experience anywhere properly without putting a label on it |

I worked in Hull for six years, the sights I used to see down Holderness road and on the Bransholme estate...
It has some ok areas around the marina but a lot of the city was cheaply rebuilt after its Luftwaffe makeover in 1940 and desperately needs regeneration. |

"Tie between Coventry and Gloucester 
Coventry isnt great"
Nothing like taking an afternoon stroll around Paradise!
I went to Warwick Uni, and was so excited until I first got the 12 into town... OMG I was heartbroken! That was before the lower precinct was developed and various other things. Wasn't quite so awful last time I went. Need to check out those new waterslides with the kids soon. |

Most big cities and in most cases its just the city centres that has had the investment then you have some affluent towns and villages that has always had money, Most cities/towns up and down the country have run down areas drive 5 minutes down the road and it completely changes |

"Quite shocked so many towns down south have been nominated thought it was only grim up north."
It's a fairytale we've perpetuated for years to stop the southerners coming up and ruining it. |

Grimsby and scunthorpe or both equally awful, living between the too in a rural village I spend a lot of time in them.. They are so depressing
Lincolnshire however as others have said, had some beautiful wee towns!

I work in Grimsby, here today ironically, yes some parts are not so nice as like many towns and cities but there are some nicer parts and naturally property prices are competitive.
Every town has its quaint spots |

I was born in Hull and lived for a few years lived just off Hessle Road. Left when I was 16, but have never lived further than 25 miles from Hull. I worked in a community centre on Bransholme for 4 years and last year went to watch a mate's band playing at Saltshouse Tavern. What a shithole!
There are some great places off the beaten track in Hull, and just on the outskirts there are some really nice places - Kirk Ella and Swanland areas, and I can be often found watching a gig somewhere in the old town. But it's nice to get in my car and head back 25 miles to the little hamlet I now live in. |

"London, without a doubt.
Doesn't feel British at all anymore and it's politics are hopelessly out of touch with the majority of the rest of the UK."
Depends what part of London, as the City Of London isn't english in the first place. |

"The only two places I can't wait to get away from are London and Liverpool. I feel a horrible vibe in both."
London is huge and has some great places. Liverpoool? Seriously , champagne in the west tower at sunset Albert dock ? Crosby beach at sunset too ? Great romantic city..., and all that Beatles crap |
