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.

Places to see in ( Oxted - UK )
Places to see in ( Oxted - UK )
Oxted is a town and civil parish in the Tandridge district of Surrey, England, at the foot of the North Downs. The town is located around 9 miles (14 km) south-east of Croydon in Greater London 8.5 miles (13.7 km) west of Sevenoaks in Kent, and 9 miles (14 km) north of East Grinstead in West Sussex.
Oxted is a commuter town which has a station with direct train services to London. Its main developed area is contiguous with the village of Limpsfield. The source of the River Eden, a tributary of the River Medway, is just north at Titsey. The settlements of Hurst Green and Holland are also within the civil parish.
Three mills are mentioned in the inquisition on Roland of Oxted, 1291–2. To a greater or lesser extent these were alienated from the main manor, which had become one of four, before 1689, when they were in the possession of Thomas Causton. In 1712 only one is mentioned as appertaining to the manor. The five manors were: Oxted, Barrow Green, Bursted/Bearsted, Broadham, Stocketts and Foyle.
The Greenwich Meridian runs through Oxted, passing through Oxted School. The parish encompasses a long divide between two ranges of hills, reaching up to the escarpments of the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge which is itself almost completely eroded at Hurst Green within the parish due to the action of the multiple headwaters of the River Eden, Kent.
The north of the parish is within the Vale of Holmesdale, which is drained by four, unconnected rivers. A nearby village is Tandridge, to the southwest, which sits on an edge of the Greensand Ridge. Limpsfield, to the east, is contiguous with Oxted; both have a clustered community with the remainder of the land largely wooded or agricultural. Godstone is to the west and Crowhurst, Surrey to the south. Woldingham on the North Downs is to the north.
Oxted is one of the few Surrey towns to retain its town brass band, Oxted Band, which has been a fixture within the town since 1901. The town became the administrative town of the Tandridge District when it was established in 1974. Oxted is host to a charity pram race held annually. It was started in 1977 by Eric and Elsie Hallson, who ran it for nearly 20 years before retiring. Oxted is served by Oxted railway station and Hurst Green railway station on the Oxted Line.
( Oxted - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Oxted . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Oxted - UK

Time Out Walks, Book 2, Walk 17, Snodland to Sole Street. 23/12/12.
Having survived the Mayan apocalypse, for the last walk of 2012, this short 8 miler in Kent was chosen.
Shortly after leaving Snodland station, the walker is soon passing the reservoirs that have resulted from Man's previous industrial activities; some of these pits have now also become modern housing estates.
Soon, there's a steady ascent onto the North Downs, with some fine views back over Snodland. This is followed by some delightful woodland walking, with some steeper ascents, prior to lunch on the village green at Harvel, though a pub alternative also exists.
After lunch, it's more quiet lanes, meadows and woods before the countryside opens up just beyond Brimstone Wood. Shortly after, the walker reaches Luddesdown, which thankfully, was saved from the clutches of the M.O.D!
As dusk approaches, it's on past Henley Street and and on through fields to the station at Sole Street, where a surprise awaited this walker, though not filmed; the 16.17 train to London was delayed by 20 minutes by the steam train 'Tornado' having to take on water at Stelling! As this suddenly emerged from the night, it was a splendid sight to behold...such a shame that South Eastern didn't advise the reason for the delay initially, so it could be recorded!
An otherwise very pleasant, shorter walk in the Book 2 series!
Sole Street Circular virtual walk
An amazing walk from some outstandingly beautiful Kent countryside. Journey straight from the train through orchards and villages steeped with history to a wide open national trust site and onto the North Downs way then a taste of the Wealdway and did I mention plenty of pubs to keep you hydrated.
You can follow this walk using the Os maps App with GPS on your device, heres a link to the route:

Maidstone Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Kent, and around 35 miles southeast of central London, is the town of Maidstone.
Geographically, Maidstone is situated along the River Medway, at the foot of the North Downs. It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Medestane'. Around this time, it had several mills, eel fisheries and salt pans.
From the Saxon era to the 16th century, Maidstone was owned by the Archbishops of Canterbury. Its location roughly halfway between London and Canterbury made it an ideal resting stop for those travelling to the capital. A surviving relic of this age is present in the form of the Archbishop's Palace, seen around the start of the walk. This dates back to the 14th century, with 16th century additions, and is Grade I listed.
In 1381, Maidstone would play a role in the Peasants' Revolt. This began in May of that year when an attempt to collect unpaid poll taxes in Brentwood in Essex resulted in a violent confrontation. This unrest spread across the southeast of England, reaching Maidstone by June. John Ball, one of the clerics leading the revolt, was freed from incarceration at the Archbishop's Palace. The rebels stormed Canterbury before heading to London. Despite attempts by King Richard II, who was just 14 years old at the time, to negotiate, the rebels were able to force the surrender of the Tower of London for the only time in history. The riots continued on until November with at least 1,500 killed. It is believed that they helped prevent future poll taxes.
Maidstone was granted a town charter in 1549. This was briefly revoked before a new charter was created in 1551.
In 1648 the Battle of Maidstone took place during the Civil War. Heavy fighting took place within the town itself with the Royalists retreating towards Week Street, and ultimately, St Faith's Churchyard (both of which feature in the walk) where they would eventually offer their surrender. Months later, the mayor of Maidstone, Andrew Broughton, read the death sentence to King Charles I following his trial.
Industry in Maidstone over the centuries included paper mills, stone quarrying, brewing and cloth-making. In 1844 the town received its first railway connection. A branch line was opened from Paddock Wood into what is today Maidstone West station. This would eventually form part of the Medway Valley Line which today runs between Paddock Wood and Strood. Two later stations would open: Maidstone East and Maidstone Barracks, the latter of which is named after nearby Invicta Park Barracks which opened in 1798 to defend against the threat of the French Revolution.
In 1834 a skeleton of a dinosaur, said to be an Iguanodon, was discovered in a quarry in Maidstone. The skeleton, which is still encased in rock, is to this day on display at the Natural History Museum in London. In 1949 the borough of Maidstone added an Iguanodon to its coat of arms in recognition. This is allegedly the first dinosaur to ever appear in a coat of arms.
Famous people from Maidstone include Tony Hart and Mackenzie Crook.
