Exploring The UK's Worst Southern Town At Night🇬🇧

[@pilgrimoutdoors-uk6177]

Same old same old in every town from Inverness to Penzance. Chicken shops, Betting shops, Turkish barber shops, Ethnic restaurants, Phone shops, Charity shops and Pound shops. More people, more dirt, more grime, more rubbish. Less greenery, less class, less original architecture and less English language - 3:34 All the Cinemas, Debenhams, BHS's, Markets, Butchers, Bakers and individual bric a brac shops have been replaced. I travel the country extensively and it's sadly the same everywhere. We've been turned into a third world shi* hole.

I grew up in Slough, worked in retail in Slough, and to see the decline of the high street is so sad. Used to have lots of decent shops and places to go out at night. Such a shame and so happy I moved away from that “diverse” dump.

[@citizen1163]

I worked in Slough & Windsor in late 70s to mid 80s. Fulcrum Theatre where I saw countless ballet, orchestral concerts and Ella Fitzgerald! Makes me sick to my stomach what the Establishment, in the name of diversity, has done to UK!

[@tonybreen.RetroTV]

The worst thing was to cut of buses and cars going down the high street, it took people away from the shops, back to the 70s hundreds of people in queenmere and high street.

Best thing for me about Slough was Chahal's mithai and samosay, and the Exotic indian buffet. Freshly cooked chicken, butter and garlic naans, etc. Think they stopped that around 2020. Also the big Tesco did 12 chicken drumsticks for £4. BBQ, fried or roast. Not sure whether thats still a thing.

Surprised to see another Dundonian in the comments. Get out while you still can, the schemes will be literal slums once they're done gentrifying Stobie and the Hllltown for the non-existent tourists flocking to live in bonnie Dundee. Brush all the social issues like drugs, crime and poverty under the rug and hope they don't travel 5 minutes up the Perth road and realize how rough the city actually is. The UK is done for, sadly.

It's changed so much since I left the area! I spent my teens in Langley (Middle Green Rd) and went to school there. I remember there was a lot of redevelopment in the town centre in the 70's; the library on the roundabout, the ugly windy bus station and Queensmere. The Greyhound Stadium still existed back then, on the way towards Langley at the junction of Uxbridge Rd, think it's a supermarket now. McDonald's opening on the High St was a big deal around '75-76ish. Funny to think that now, when there's at least one on every shopping street. Thanks for the memories!

[@citizen1163]

Slough used to be known as ‘Slough Safety Town’ back in the 50s & it’s High Street was booming up until Blair opened UK Borders & introduced Eastern European criminals who started hanging around the High Street in 2000. I moved out then & am truly shocked at how far Slough has fallen, just like so many other UK towns & cities. Slough wasn’t perfect before but at least we didn’t import criminals!

Slough isnt nearly as bad as this vid portrays. Was employed in Slough for many years - including several in the Mars factory. Great place to work. And if the film maker thinks that Cippenham, and Langley are a lot 'safer' than Slough, then he clearly lacks local knowledge. He was probably right about Chslvey though 😅. What do you think Gypsy ?

[@ronniep9272]

Don't compare Slough to other leafy Berkshire towns. It's closer in feel to neighbouring West Drayton and Hayes. The high street is a dump but so are most these days. The grammar schools are some of the best schools in the country. Outer parts like Langley, Colnbrook and Burnham are nice.

Harrogate in North Yorkshire is very nice,as is nearbyish Ilkley. Durham City is nice & Newcastle is a great city,too! Shrewsbury,Hereford,Stratford-on-Avon are nice. Chester is nice,so are Sheffield & York! Grimsby in Lincolnshire is GRIM! 😂😂 Worksop in Nottinghamshire & Mansfield in Nottinghamshire quite grim! 😂😂

[@egsi]

Do some street interviews please mate 🙏 🙏

[@adamali813]

The video is incredibly misleading. I have visited that town in the past because of the movie studios located in and around it which is big business. The centre is very industrial as it was the biggest trading estate in Europe. However the areas less than mile outside the centre, which all part of slough are very beautiful and nice. The high street looks like that because some years ago the Qataris bought up all of it. It going to have billions of pounds worth of redevelopment, hence why all the shops are empty as leases are not being renewed. Thats because its all going to be knocked down and rebuilt. The town is going through massive redevelopement. The London Tube line has now extended to it, which is going to rocket investment and house prices. According to the figures the town also has the most millionaires in the country. Showing just a few bad corners like every town has, is a very untruthful way to display the town.

[@TheJungliViajero]

You clearly didn't watch the video properly.. I mentioned that certain towns in Slough borough are nice, and that the entire borough isn't rough. I also mentioned the good things about Slough including the Elizabeth line, the high employment rate, good schools, and great food available. But let's have it right, Slough central is not a normal, nice town take it from someone that has spent a lot of time there, in many parts of the town. It is significantly more dangerous, run down and unsafe than all the surrounding areas such as Windsor, Maidenhead and Uxbridge, and at school we'd constantly here stories and warnings about knife crime, muggings and predators. These are issues that really weren't an issue in the town that I lived in just 20 mins away from Slough. Ask anyone that lives there, they'll tell you that the main high street is not a great place. Hopefully the redevelopment will change that, but who knows
