How these pundits compare Kent to say West or South Yorkshire or certain parts of Manchesteŕ and Lancashire is beyond me. I've been all around the North and North-West these past 25 years, and its a world apart from the sunny South. Thankfully, I didnt move up there and buy a cheapo terrace for under £30k. This was entirely possible a few years ago, but, the massive drawback would have been never being able to move South again. You should try to visit Bradford this year, the 2025 City of Culture. That will be an eye opener with all the bad publicity that region gets at the moment. 👍🤔

Well done. A worthy top 5, but so many other towns need a visit from you. Ashford Broadstairs Folkestone Faversham Paddock Wood Sittingbourne Tenterden Tonbridge Even a top 10 would be difficult to pick. Some are nicer than others. 👍

Yes, certainly looks grim. As with so many places nowadays, there must be many contributing factors that make up this sorry state of urban decay. 👍

You put Dartford at one of the nicest, you must be a gentleman 😂😂😂 I agree with Sandwich & Sevenoaks though - good choices

I would feel very unsafe seeing you talking to a go pro/camera in some woodland. 🤔 Why?

Why were you in the woods? 😂😂😂

Margate is like the second Middle east of the world Cliftonville especially is literally run by third world people

This doesn't look THAT bad. With every bad area comes some good people. Everywhere has theyre good n bad areas. Ive seen worse looking areas in Glasgow.

Your start was appalling. Starting outside the city centre at a closed down pub in the road of the police station wasn’t on. It’s a wonderful medieval city.

Ed to say Ramsgate is worse than Dover tells us you haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

Dover lived there for around 10 odd years was bad then and now its terrible. But also lived in Ramsgate, Margate, Canterbury and Folkestone all shitholes also take a look at Folkestone at the top ends around Dallas Brett area see what find there 👍

Maidstone for me is the undisputed king nothing can match it on any statistics. In kent. Footfall size choice and i can continue. Not a list id expect tbh but love the videos as ever.😊

The TV is for the taxi's to see when there's space on the rank

I don't live in dartford anymore but i was born there so it will always be home i still think dymchurch & hythe are better. Hythe has a cute little town, really beautiful canal and nice pebble beach aswell.👍

i love going dartford i always wanna go there because of the market the shopping centre and the buses to lol. with gravesend ofc i live here and the shops are ok i would prefer the shops back in 2015 because we had more so defo more shops and the transport isnt bad taxi's next to the bus station with the promenade (prom for short) i love playing hide and seek there with my brothers (i dont care if im 14 hide and seek is always a fun game) and so many places to hide so in a way i like Gravesend but would love to move. never been sandwich, deal or sevenoaks

Why create such a negative vibe. A wholly despicable little film.

To get an actual idea of how likely you will have a crime committed against you, you have to divide the number of crimes by population. of course Canterbury will have more crime than the corn field in the middle of farmer giles farm in the middle of nowhere. i live in this part of Canterbury and its lovely.

As someone who lives in Gillingham and has been to many towns in Kent I must say interesting list and some very unique takes. Personally out of the places I’ve been to in Kent if I had to do a top 5 it’d probably be something like this: 1. Maidstone 2. Rochester 3. Canterbury 4. Tunbridge Wells 5. Whitstable Honourable mentions: Faversham, Tonbridge, Herne Bay

My list would be 1. Canterbury (I'm aware it's a city) 2. Broadstairs 3. Sandwich 4. Folkestone 5. Faversham I haven't been to Sevenoaks or Tunbridge Wells but have heard good things about them! The Sandwich was named after the Earl of Sandwich when he was busy playing cards and he wanted his steak put between two slices of bread because he didn't want his game interrupted, apparently

Ive been through Sandwich and its so pretty. I also like Tunbridge Wells too. Whitstable is on my visiting list when I'm next in the south east

Tunbridge Wells, Tenterden, Hythe, Canterbury, Whitstable, Ashford and Dymchurch are all better than Dartford and Gravesend in my opinion.

You touched on the Gold part. This is Superb

I grew up among the Medway towns during the 1970s and 80s. Chatham High Street was a marvellous shopping centre and it had some good night life spots too. This video makes me sad to see the decay there now. The word 'dystopian' was used appropriately in this video.

I find such videos as this deeply depressing. No attempt to show anything in a positive light, just a clickbait title and relentless negativity. I moved to Gillingham in June for personal reasons. Are parts of the town deprived? Yes. Does it need local and national government investment? Yes. Would I rather live in Tunbridge Wells? Yes. But this is now my home town. People are friendly, it has character, there is a community spirit, and by the Medway there are some beautiful bits of countryside and interesting spots. I cannot speak for Sheerness or the other towns mentioned. Chatham is very similar to Gillingham I find. Once I retire I am going to work hard to help the local community in some way. What I will not be doing is making videos like this, telling people how s**t their town is.

Shittingbourne is up there

Rating towns by their Wetherspoons? Try harder

Grew up in Gravesend and my favourite bit of trivia (which I don’t think many people know) is that the river near the fort in this video doubled for Venice in the boat chase sequence in Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade.

UK is getting terrible

Notorious City!!!! seriously!!! I'm originally a Londoner and moved to Dover 20 years ago. I have never, in all that time felt threatened by anyone but as you are someone afraid of tripping on a missing grating and was only here for a very short time I shall forgive you for having to 'find something nice about Dover'. I often go to 'Spoons' and have never, ever, witnessed any problems. Shame you didn't really speak to anyone who lives here. I doubt that there is a single town in the UK that doesn't have empty shops. If people were staring at you it's because you were walking along talking to yourself whilst filming. Illegal immigrants are bought to shore on a secure area of the port and are then housed in other parts of the country. Probably next door to you. Come back when the sun is shining when you don't feel so stressed by nothing at all. I so wish that your trip had been planned so that you could meet up with people who know and love the town.

Sheermiss is a shit hole,,was ok 25 yrs ago,,glad i left

SheerNESS. not SHEER ns. Criticise if you wish but at least respect my home by pronouncing its name correctly

Gravesend is horrible

There’s no surprise that the worst towns are coastal places. Lots of industries have closed, lots of low incomes and poverty in those places. The Dover area for example had 3 coal mines until the 80’s, and is rough round the edges, but not a BNP stronghold as you alluded to.

Also the prison that you say has been done up a bit is now a Mal Maison Hotel

Go back at about 7pm in the 1990’s and you would have been dodging fireballs and cars being joy rided around the BL estate

Coke and panini.. Wtf😢

When you say deprived does it mean lack of social services or other factors? Does it mean that the local government has failed?

Is the idea deplorable housing or urban poverty. Thanks for elaborating what young people are faced with.

Somehow tower hamlets suddenly seems better!!

Looks it

If you are going to slag off a town please pronounce it correctly. Like the majority of seaside towns Sheerness has suffered the same fate of a lack of investment and closure of main high street retailers. Putting that to one side . the community of Sheerness are kind and friendly, Sheerness is not dangerous, where did you get that information from. Not all people who live in Sheerness are deprived . We don’t have crackheads and homeless on the streets. I live in Sheerness and walk the streets safely. Why did you feel unsafe ?. Maybe visit the island when the sun is shining. And maybe meet some like me that can show you a better version of the town and the friendly people who live here. Not everyone with very little money feel deprived. It’s called life.

There is no Arvington Park in Oxford. You were at Hinksey park in New Hinksey. 😂

Either a barber shop, vape shop, American Candy Stores, Betting and Coffee shops. Or nail bars on what was once a High Street 😢

Brutalist architecture is an architectural style that emerged during the 1950s in the United Kingdom.

Im Scouse and worked in Cowley Rover plant early 1980s, it was full of scots, geordies, taffs and scousers, we all got rooms with familes on Blackbird Leys estate, they welcomed us, never got no trouble there, we would drink in the Bull Nose Morris and the Original Swan Pub

Most areas on the Thames estuary are unpleasant. I'm always surprised how the Kent side doesn't have the same reputation as Essex. There's quite extreme division here too- the odd posh market town and countryside are rich Tories. The rest of the towns are mostly ignorant chavs. Seems to be far fewer normal middle class folks than anywhere else I've lived. Definitely regret coming here.

We live in Medway, I grew up in Norwich and found it hard initially to settle down. You make an area what you make it, you are right a good community spirit in Gillingham.
