It's definitely on the list. One day I hope to come across somewhere so desolate and depressing that I instantly drop dead from sheer despair. In the UK Port Glasgow does a nice job. I think some forgotten city in Siberia's going to do it.

lol, sounds like you've taken inspiration from Karl Pilkington.


There's a book called crap towns whose readers voted for the 50 crappest towns in the UK. Glasgow was voted joint fourth crappest with Edinburgh in 2004. If you want a crapper town than Glasgow try visiting Sunderland, Windsor, or Luton. The 2004 vote for the number one crappest town in the UK was Luton.

1. Luton
2. Windsor
3. Sunderland
4. Edinburgh (equal place with Glasgow)
4. Glasgow (equal place with Edinburgh)

There might be similar crap town votes held in other countries that could tell you the most desolate and depressing places to visit.

Hm, some parts of some of those cities are quite nice (just watch out for garbage trucks in Edinburgh though).

I don't really know who this pilkington bloke is. Luton seemed OK enough to me.  I've lived in Glasgow and Edinburgh and had a fine old time in both.  I even went on holiday to Hull and nearly shat myself with sheer joy but nothing's beaten Port Glasgow though most of Coventry runs it pretty close.

The urban planners did more damage to Coventry than Hitler's bombs ever could.

Regarding the crap towns vote, you missed out Sunderland. You really should visit it considering it was voted third crappest town in the UK. The best time to visit is when there's a home game against Newcastle on. Here's a few pictures of the aftermath of a previous game so you know what to expect.
