5 Ugliest Cities in the UK

What are the ugliest cities in the UK? The United Kingdom cares so much about the beauty of environments. The glamorous and attractive pictures in the media are no fluke at all. They are a result of a deliberate architectural plan to make the country the most beautiful in the world. Sad to say, the United Kingdom is not. Some areas of many cities in this country are not as beautiful as nice parts are portrayed. Viewed as a whole, several cities in the country are ugly and we must bring them to light in our usual balanced way. That doesn’t make Britain the ugliest country. Yet, we can illustrate the point we’re trying to make with the following discussion about the 5 ugliest cities in the UK.
5. Stoke-on-Trent, England
Yes, we should begin here. Stoke-on-Trent, according to our findings has been one of the 5 most hated cities in England. The hatred is also due to the fact-checking of what reliable media The Telegraph said when it listed this city as one of the 21 of the most 'worst' towns in the UK. Now, we feel justified again in listing Stoke-on-Trent as one of the 5 ugliest cities in the UK and we mention it first in this video.
According to the paper, when the respondents were asked if they would be willing to relocate to Stoke-on-Trent, only 15 of them responded in the affirmative. While some were dilly-dallying in their responses, the greatest percentage said over their dead bodies would they allow themselves to be transferred to the city of Stoke. Acknowledging the accuracy of the conclusion of the poll, Paul Williams, chairman of Stoke-on-Trent Cultural Destinations, agrees that more work would be needed to beautify the city and obliterate the city’s ugly reputation. Attempts to revitalize the pottery industry, the city’s soccer team exploits in the Premiership, and its past glory notwithstanding, the city which was primarily an industrial conurbation is only good as a warehouse and a service industries center.
4. Swansea, Wales
The ancient city of Swansea is next on the list of the ugliest cities in the UK. It’s the only city outside England to make this list. The city, also recognized as a county on the south coast of Wales, is nowhere to go if you love to live in a city with nice architectural designs and a beautiful city center. This second-largest city in Wales and the birthplace of poet Dylan Thomas is lacking in adorable physical features.
That most famous son of the soil, in his award-winning work of arts described Swansea as a lovely, ugly town. True to his position, the city is quite ugly, especially in the center. The post-WWII modernist vandalism has been blamed for this. Whatever the case may be, what you see in sunsets is rubbish. Things are even worse during sunrises as there’s virtually nowhere to go. You hardly find a single nice hotel. Even the beaches aren’t a tourist delight. You won’t find anything cool like a lighthouse. They're just hideous to behold. You can’t find nice bars with good music. There's no wildlife. If not for the sake of pockets of somewhat good centers such as the National Waterfront Museum, the city would have been just a sprawling concrete jungle.
3. Coventry, England
This city in the East Midlands that we all have agreed as one of the worst cities in England and in the UK is now also among the 5 ugliest cities in the UK on this list. The city on the River Sherbourne is the largest in the county.

Absolutely no chance Bradford should rank in this and quite rightly it didn't. Architecturally it has some beautiful parts to the city with some excellent public spaces. Thanks to its rich past - having once been the woolen capital of the world - the wealthy merchants have left their mark and a positive one it is too. It has its fair share of brutalist architecture granted, but it's not destroyed by it.

Nah Glasgow is not ugly. The unique architecture, dense city centre, good transportation links, nightlife are also remarkable. I feel the only reason most people look down at Glasgow due to its location being in Scotland (idk why people diss Scotland so much), and the knife crime which I last heard is on par with Birmingham. I've been to both Birmingham and Glasgow, Glasgow is definitely so much better. The only thing I think I prefer in Birmingham is the actual landmarks themselves. Such as the library, bullring, grand Central, Custard factory, University of Birmingham, the mailbox for example.

Obviously someone who didn't watch any of the CWG, I think you should actually visit Birmingham. The majority of the photos you used are years old and show buildings that were demolished a long time ago. The narrative mentions the ugly Bullring shopping centre, this was knocked down nearly 20 years ago and has been replaced with a new shiny glass version that includes the iconic Selfridges building. Its the same with the Central library which you actually show in the video half demolished. It was replaced ten years ago with the new library also being an iconic piece of architecture.

Hi everyone. Having been to Birmingham many times (first in the mid 70s) I do not really agree with the top score of good old Brum being the ugliest city in the UK. Of course every place in the world has it's nice and ugly parts. As for Birmingham I think that it has improved very much over the last decades. It has a throbbing centre that has been refurbished quite a bit. The Bull Ring Centre has been transformed from a monstrocsity made of concrete to a modern and nice shopping centre. Lots of nice bars and discos make B'ham a great nightout place to be. People are generally friendly (I never met any unfriendly person there). The airport is really convenient in size and location (one really doesn't want to go through Heathrow...). Thumbs up for Brum!!! Greetings from Vienna, Austria.

And, people from other parts of the country have said it is the second best place to go pubbing, before it was clubbing. How many cities have you actually visited? There is a £135 million development still going botched up by the City and County Labour administration. Some parts, a 5 year old could have done better.

I stayed at a small hotel in Hull for 2 weeks in the late 1970's. I had my evening meal there each day, all of the components coming out of a freezer. When I queried why no fresh meat or veggies, I was told preparing frozen food was much quicker and cheaper. Mind you I found the nearby pub a most agreeable place. For a deep sea fishing port, fresh fish seemed to be unobtainable. Even the chippy served up wedged shaped fillets out of the chest freezer. From what I can gather, the fish landed at the port was sent directly to the fish processing factories to be turned into fish fingers and fish cakes.

A nice summary of views, and as someone originally from Birmingham, I agree and disagree with some of them. As for Swansea, as a former lorry driver, I often went there, and actually like the city, and would happily move there if i had the chance. As for Hull, again I've been there a few times and again, I like it. Lots of history to find and look at, if you can be bothered. Finally, Birmingham. As I now live in Walsall, just north of the city (which is a s*** hole anyway), I do like the way the city is developing, and it is still a popular location for films and tv series to be filmed in. Recently (2016), the Steven Spielberg film Ready Player One, used Birmingham for most of its live, on street filming locations, and in one of them you can actually see the building of the new central library, if you know what to look for. I must admit that knowing the area well as I do, I often rerun the film to see exactly where certain scenes were filmed. So overall, being a Bummie at heart, I do not see the city as all that bad.

So many towns in the UK seem to have a complete lack of civic pride. Look at the litter to see that. Look at important public buildings on the continent such as post offices and railway stations. They have a sense of pride to welcome visitors to the towns. In our country, such places are shabby and neglected. The railway stations (where they exist at all) are little more than bus shelters. If there is a proper building, it is a hideous exercise in concrete. The only ones who like it are the architects who think they are very clever in designing something that hideous. As for post offices, these are often part of a supermarket of zero archirectural merit, or share premises with a chain of sandwich outlets (as the post office is in my town). The same is true of other public buildings. What were once architecturally pleasing areas were demolished and replaced by the brutalist buildings of the nineteen fifties and sixties. Contrast this with German towns that were wrecked in the Second World War and rebuilt with copies of what was there before. Our (plague) island is good at sheep, seabirds and seals. Domestic and commercial architecture is not so good.
