2 years later, I’ve gone back!!! Click here to see how it was!! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ebN9ltynzqvaYGw.htmlsi=4Nyy_SueQLhO_ES8

You missed Lincoln Road, the greatest attraction of the city 😂

Lived in 8 cities in the UK over the last 15 years! There are a lot of good things in this city. Just walking around in the town centre on a rainy Tuesday is not the best way to rate any UK city and I have seen that most town centres are quiet and shabby in the UK. The best thing in Peterborough is effortless driving without queues on the smooth parkways. There are a lot of green spaces and parks. Overall a best city to live in my view.

Cathedral and museum are the highlights for me, I'm more into history than shopping around - even though admittedly there are some good shops in the centre. Months back, I chatted with one fellow at the bus station, he was actually a barefooter (all weathers!) and he told me that every Saturday, during the late 90's, he enjoyed going to Peterborough on the train. On occasion he met up with family and they all went to an antiques shop down one of the streets (he'd long forgotten the name of the street). Caught sight of him every now and then, but haven't seen him for a while, sadly.

I spent my teenage years just outside Peterborough, way back in the 1970's. Back then it was utterly dire. After 5pm on a Friday night it was dead, with empty streets and no where to go except the Bull Hotel where we would go and spend the evening. It has improved over the years considerably, and I would say is in every respect a much better place. I still go back to visit friends when I can.

I really enjoy going to QueensGate and the only reason that it wasn't a good is that the shops were still being restocked with everything which took a while becauseof a lack of lorry drivers which temporarily forced most of the shops to shut. As well as that, there was construction on what is now an arcade and a mini golf. Overall it is a great shopping centre and after countless hours of walking around it I can tell you that it isn't nearly as bad as you think it is. As well as that, there is a McDonald's at one of the exitd

Did you know the guy who founded pizza express was from Peterborough. And he was the first person to import Peroni to the uk.

Take your bikes next time, best cycle network of any city and the famous Green Wheel. Fab Thai food at Charters, which is a huge barge on the River Nene. On the same barge is a great pub serving Oakham Beers which are made in the City. I guess you guys are a bit young to drink, but you could always get a Coke or something and at least soak up the atmosphere. Was that Pizza Express you went in? Started by a bloke from Peterborough called Peter Boizot. Might be an idea to do some research next time.

There are tons more stuff to do in Peterborough but honestly it depends what time you go to town. It's an amazing place if you think about it.

What the hell 😂 you didn't even go anywhere in Peterborough. You just stayed in town 🤦.

I have lived in Peterborough 8 years and you have not seen the whole of Peterborough and yet you call it one of the worst city's we have the most historic places in Peterborough and no town center is never that quite It is always thriving crowds of people walk through town and go to the embankment witch is the river, come near Christmas time and you will see how busy Peterborough really is and next time your here take the time to visit all of the historic buildings and read up the history of Peterborough as well

Great video Logan ,I think the problem with Peterborough is that ,cathedral aside the shopping centre is just the same chain stores you see in every town Boots ,WH Smith's ,Waterstones Bookshop probably as a New Town expanded greatly from the 1970s you won't find old streets full of independent shops like York 🙂

I used to live in Peterborough, leaving is the best decision of my life.

If you had gone to the museum you could have seen the original Victorian operating theatre which has been kept as it was back in the day. You could also have visited the Nene Valley Railway and gone into Railworld while you were there. Please come back and see those places. Nene Valley Railway are crying out for people to visit as since Covid they have been very hard hit . They need as many visitors as possible to keep it running.

What’s good about videos like this is I’ve just visited Peterborough without leaving the comfort of my own home.

Is Saxon road still the same? I grew up in Peterborough I've moved up to Chorley for 6 years and to be honest I don't miss Peterborough just miss my family

I've lived in Peterborough all my life and I cannot for the life of me think its ranked as the worst city to live as I can think or others that are way worst. Peterborough isn't too bad of a place to live, but this video didn't really show the best parts and worst parts of the city and you really need a local to help you. I go to Cambridge a lot and always compare the two and the one big difference between the cities is Cambridges links to academia that makes it very attractive, on a local live I see the same types of people I would get in Peterborough, both cities have great local conservation areas to explore, Peterborogh's biggest failing is its nightlife it lacks anything really special, aside from that I think you need to really explore the place to judge it for being labelled the worst. And its weird as more and more companies are coming here to set up shop, More and more people are moving here from more expensive cities due to its location and ease of access to the big cities this link shows some good point of Peterborough kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9KbjK2emqy7dnk.html

You guys didn't even leave the city centre. Central Park is within walking distance. You can catch a stream train to Ferry Meadows Country Park. There's Flag Fen archaeology park, Railworld, and far more interesting places to eat than a national pizza chain

Is Canters still in operation there? Used to be a great place in the mid 80s

The best thing you can do in Peterborough is get into a fight with 1 or 2 members of the towers of London.

Last time I went to Peterborough, it almost felt like what I've always imagined the 80's looked like

it’s weird seeing you walk places i’ve walked before as i live here and i am an avid camper and bushcraft and this city is possible for that anyone know anywhere close that’s good for it i’m trying to get a trip going?

"Worst cities" always relates to the estates and surrounding areas rather than the actual city center

if you know what you're doing, where you're going, etc, there's a ton more to do and see. didn't help it was raining so it probably looked a lot worse than it is. i live in peterborough and i've definitely been in worse places great video though, you are really uunderrated! Thats a sub from me

You went to Pizza Express. The founder Peter Boizot was born and bred in Peterborough. Boizot founded PizzaExpress in 1965, after having worked in Europe for ten years and noticing that he was unable to eat an authentic pizza slice in London. Boizot floated PizzaExpress on the London Stock Exchange in 1993 but remained president. His first restaurant opened in Wardour Street, Soho, London, to much acclaim, with a second PizzaExpress opening in 1967. He was also the first to import Peroni into the UK. Boizot's empire grew quickly because of its authentic Italian taste and unique artistic approach.

How can you rate a city with out seeing what's here there's a lot more than cathedral but you did not venture cause it was raining

Lincoln Road, Orton, Paston, Westwood, Eastfield, Fengate etc are all great places, just don’t go alone or in the dark lol 🤪

Great video! Nice job!

I’ve visited Peterborough and absolutely loved the cathedral too, it’s certainly a very important building; for example it has the oldest and largest medieval wooden ceiling surviving in Europe (around 1200 AD). I didn’t have time to explore much of the city at all, as I only came to see the cathedral, but I did absolutely love the other two Cambridgeshire cities of Cambridge and Ely (both extremely charming and filled with tonnes of beautiful historic architecture). I am surprised though that people feel Peterborough is the worst… I didn’t get that impression myself.

Because you and your mates are cool, I'll subscribe!

I've visited Peterborough a few times and it's quite a nice place. There are many much worse places to live and visit in the UK.

As someone who lives in Peterborough, it really isn't that great. There's no opportunities for jobs aside from the hospital or the industrial areas. As for Queensgate they're doing a massive renovation on it so who knows if that'll improve it, one can hope so. There's some really nice nature spots just outside the centre along the river and the Nene valley railway. They are absolutely stunning in the summer. Overall though it is very lacklustre, and I can't wait to move away from it haha.

Peterborough is not just the city centre guys, I think you'd perhaps enjoy the numerous skate parks, ice rink, speedway, sailing, wake boarding, paddle boarding, archery and many other sports, there's a small local museum in town and Flag Fen Archeological site & recreation of how people lived (including actual recreations of the buildings) over 3000 years ago. + woods, lakes and so on, there is much more to Peterborough it's just not all in the town centre. Perhaps you should come back to Peterborough with more of an idea of what you want to see or do

The town produced some of the best old ginger beer bottles in the UK. A printed cathedral and the bottles look great!

Years ago I remember the gang fight set ups, one week it was Walton vs Werrington another would be Breton vs Paston etc lol

Revisit but go places like the nene valley and go to paston… you will love it there

I went to school in Peterborough during the 1970s. Was good to look around. Thanks for the trip 👍

What makes Peterborough the worst city in the UK? What were the things that you were looking for and looking to in Peterborough, was it to visit particular designated tourist spots, or to visit locations of daily services and commercial activity such as shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, internet rooms, gaming centres, and sports and physical creational areas? Were you looking for any events or locations of performing arts, visual arts, and fine arts? Are you into industrial tourism? By this I mean you visit sites of industrial activity varying from garages, carpentry workshops, and wood workers sheds, all the way up to large textiles plants, petrochemicals refineries, steel mills, and factories that make all sorts of machines varying from electric motors, to air conditioners, and unto chemicals processing equipment and excavators... Visiting various science labs with fancy gadgets that do research in material science, chemistry, and physics can also count as industrial tourism...

You've sold me on the cathedral (I do visit cathedrals). But I was there for a footy match last week and found it otherwise crap. LOL.

As someone who is born and raised in Peterborough the worst city label is more of a joke. I could agree that to visit it's not too applying. It's more a place to be lived in. The River Nene is a pleasant sort, you've got the quayside with the Key Theatre, the town bridge, and there's also the Nene Valley Railway.

Peterborough Express was founded by Peter Boizot who grew up in the city. There's a big portrait of him as you enter the restaurant. I have no idea how you managed to get lost.

I lived in Peterborough most my life & finally got out of it 4yrs ago. Best thing I did as it has gone down hill & does look a mess. Ya definitely should had explored more & see more places shut & more looks a mess. Some places are struggling to keep looked after & nice. Ive moved & The village I now live inn half hour drive away is tidy & 80% of the village are proud of it, no theft, no touching people stuff, buy fruit & veg from from sellers gardens in the village & leave money in the loyalty tin without being touched. And the village is helping everyone to put Xmas lights up from home to home. Lovely village & I love it

Spend 2-3 hours relaxing in the square in city centre in summer. It can be like fight club there or similar to 4am club kick out with the residents that drink there each day

I found this searching where I live, Peterborough Canada (pop. 85,000). This Peterborough looks much more interesting! I mean, it has an old cathedral! And a train station! How cool is that?!

Got out this hole 8 years ago and moved to new zealand..never understood people that hate where they live but do nothing about it

PETERBOROUGH IS AMAZING!! DONT U DARE SAY ITS THE WORST!I live there! The weather is probs a bit bad but over all its great! Confusing for Americans alot. Also the weird chair place is I think called 'Town', I've been there before. Alot. It's good, normally busy. There are lots of things to do. Pls don't say 3 or 4 or 2 or 1 or smth. It rained and you came at the wrong time on the wrong month. Its offensive to the true peterboroughs like me, haven't even been to Ferry Meadows yet.

Don't understand why this place is voted worst in the UK, it's clean and looks rather nice, not bad if it was a town but as a city there's not really a lot there, there are definitely a lot worse places

For a day it isn't bad but if you stayed a week or a month or a year you'd ve able to say its not great, I've lived here all my life but there must be worse places to live. Not sure if it was intended but the Pizza Express founder was from Peterborough.

Ayo I've lived in Peterborough for 8years and like, u only explored the very middle of Peterborough, maybe you should try to explore more rural and better rated places in Peterborough :)

Three vacuous children walk around Peterborough, but without actually having anything to compare it to, except the stabbing capital of the UK, Nottingham. Mostly they talk about the weather and about their own poorly made travel plans.

Look up the history of Peterborough and surrounding area and its importance during roman times and Boudica

Actually apart from about 15% of places including London most the place is boring and pretty depressing and the weather is mainly to blame not to mention the long dark nights where it can be dark by 3pm - no wonder a lot of the people are take some kind of drug / medication 😞

The cathedral is fantastic, but the town has nothing to offer beside it. Its an unmissable stop for someone who wants to see every cathedral in the country, for anyone else its pointless. Theres not much else historic around, so you dont really get the same feeling as you would at Durham, York, or Norwich.

after a recent visit after 20 years what a sad end to what was once a town centre with shops you cant even drink away the depression of the demise even all the age old public houses that once adorned the remains of the old city have gone now converted tacky eateries with outside seating to whatch the less fortunate compete for small change or wonder why you even bothered to come in the first place lincoln louth norwhich even deeping the village 8 miles out has more to offer

Fact is that Peterborough born n bred folk (silver tops) have moved out in their thousands to safer, quieter, prettier areas. Hence its inner city areas are now run down dumps where the words lawnmower and lick of paint are now redundant.

U WENT TO THE TOWN NEAR ASDA AND I LIVE NEAR THEREEE I WENT TO THAT CATHEDRAL AND SAW CATHERINE OF ARAGON

we cant help that it was raining

Not a great place for young people perhaps, but London is commutable and property is relatively inexpensive.

Peterborough really isn't that bad, there isn't that much there but there are definitely worse places in the UK.

I am confused, you went to a very small part of the city centre and to the cathedral and you've seen Peterborough? Please guys go have another look. Peterborough has its very bad but also has very good. As for shops closed down that is a nationwide problem.

Peterborough was created for overflow workers in London it had a huge community of polish workers long before WW2. I live here since june 2019 and it's alright surrounded by highways i can go London within 1hr30 no queues... i deliver palletised goods nationwide and i see plenty of cities I don't know how people can survive in London jizz that traffic and so many CCTV cameras keen to give you a traffic fine lol

It’s not a large city so what were u expecting to find in the centre exactly

Live in Peterborough. Pretty much nail on the head. Only thing we got is a cathedral. Well made video and wish you all the best

Something tells me, you choose a dreary day on purpose just to make it seem worse than it actually is however you were not as harsh as I thought you might be...

I live in Peterborough and not keen in it. But I have to say that all you did was go to town where the cathedral is on a rainy day in the middle of a pandemic lol. So many more things to see and do, so don't think you can judge a whole city by going to one place in it. Lol

What city do you stay in?

Live very close to Peterborough and trust me it’s fairly sad, but far far worse is Boston

Try spending a day in the UKs worst seaside town Hastings in East Sussex if you want to see a true doss hole inhabited by the worst sub humans ever to be encountered. Hastings is truly shocking, filthy, grotty and derelict. Many chose to live on the street rather than be housed in the nearby Warrior Square St. Leonards. Hastings Conquest Hospital is where one goes if having a desire to die! Fashion is anything that can be shop lifted from Primark without being caught by the PCSOs in a hot chase LOL! Even the bus shelters are the worst in Britain with one bus shelter in Queens Road having been trashed long ago and left a wreck by the local council. Hastings pier is a plank! Hastings Railway station is rank bad where the toilets are dreadful and only those desperate to have a slash go. Social Housing estates are seriously bad with single moms who cannot identify the father/s of their bratz are housed. One needs a criminal conviction to get Social Housing in Hastings E. Sussex. Hastings in East Sussex without doubt one of the worst locations in Britain if not the worst.

You also say it’s dead but it’s passing it down with rain

Very good video Logan. Born & bred here & used to like living here. Things have changed for the worse over the last few years & really want to move now - ideally to the Isle of Wight.

Mate you need to go into the Orton's they are probably the best bits

The cathedral is a lot nicer on a summer's day too, many people sit on the lawn and eat lunch and sunbathe there on their lunch break. Night life is the big let down fir Peterborough

I went to London once and it pissed down, so I rated London a 1/10 based upon that.

Should of gone to pizza house just down the road to pizza express it’s SOO good

It’s not we live here and love it. Affordable and less crimes and clean

Great haddon and yaxley and Hampton southern peterborough well beautiful lake

Is it worse than Bradford? I don't bloody think so. And Leicester, Nottingham etc are crappy too.

he should of went down the scatchy tunnles at 9pm waving dat camra abt

I grew up there before i left for uni to another city and then just up and left the UK. Haven't been back in 10 years , yes Peterborough is not the most exciting place but its far from the worst I mean Grantham Boston and many more come to mind before Peterborough

Can I just ask where you have traveled from.

Peterborough, in my opinion, is NOT the worst city in the UK! I've been there yesterday, and I loved it! It has a really nice cathedral, very well connected to London and many other great UK cities (such as York), a lovely square and beautiful architecture! Ok, sure Queensgate Shopping Centre isn't appealing, but you can't judge the entire city based just on one thing.

I literally sing as a chorister at the cathedral lol!!!

I’m Peterborough born and bred, and I think it’s unfair to say it’s the worst in the UK. There are far crappier places in my opinion! What I would say though is that it’s a disappointing city. Minus the Cathedral, there’s nothing special about PB. Nightlife is shocking, daytime/evening activities are few and far between, and there’s just so many empty retail units. It sucks even more because when a decent space becomes available, you know full well it will be yet another B&M etc, it’s just so dull. You easily run out of things to do here, which is a shame because given the chance by the people in the city with money, I think it has real potential 👍🏻

HEY IM OFFENDED!! YOU SHOULDN'T HATE PETERBOROUGH ITS BETTER THAN WHAT YOU ARE LIVING!

In another video I went to the UK’s Best City, why not see how it compares to Peterborough? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9hiaZBzlcy4YXU.html

Maybe try it out on a sunny match day.

I live in peterborough and I think you should go to fazain e madina mosque it's beautiful

It would take a brave person to walk around certain areas of this place at night

You should make a qna

Why why this his city gets delayed by 100000000 years

Should go Millfield or Lincoln Road film up there lol

Are you related to Very Spooner?

The only reason I know what Peterborough is is because google once told me it was the 2nd largest city in England

great video zach keep up the poggers work bro

…and you base this city on what exactly. A rainy Tuesday. Perhaps you should go somewhere that isn’t very nice. I and a few of my friends are not keen on Nottingham.

Peterborough is a beautiful place, depending if ur in town or not but it's the people and the council that are bad bro

Peterborough gets a bad rep, its got a beautiful cathedral, saved by Henry VIII in the dissolution of the monasteries. One of the best preserved bronze age sites in the world, the Fens on the doorstep, the best bits just not bigged up enough by the council

should have visited it in the summer with the fair or saw the football stadium cause tbf peterborough isn’t good but it’s not the worst cause i live here and the only thing bad about it is the people

Been mugged 2 times in Peterborough, plus near the Great Northern Hotel I caught a foriegner tipping some smelly glue stuff on my car , been to London some 1500 times with no problems Peterborough seems a bit dodgey and no longer go there, I do like the real ale pubs though

I live near this area and I try my best to avoid it
