I reckon this must be one of the most miserable places in the world.
Imagine having to live and work here.

You've clearly never been to East Grinstead.
East Grinstead has loads of, errr, 'niche' churches in it, non? So i suppose the people that live there are happy
I always get miserable when I see the grey blanket of concrete that is London
a more depressing and selfish destination you will not find
I think there have been worse welcome signs....
Can't see the original pic but I've never felt so depressed as when I went to Middlesborough - ugly, miserable and it smells.
Hull.

Hull.

A: You look like awful!
B: Yeah, I have just been to Hull and back.
IGMC.
Uranium City is surrounded by millions of square miles of pristine wilderness tho - can't be that bad
The evocatively named Severn Beach, near Bristol:
walled city, kowloon;
+1 for Hull.
In the UK, hard to surpass Hull in terms of it's overwhelming sense of void
Taking in the rest of the world I'd say Hull
I once went to Belgrade and the adjective I used at the time was 'grey'. It was easily the worstest place I have ever been to - and I used to date a girl who was a student in Hull so I do have the pits to compare to.
Although, I do have to admit, I didn't spend too long there and my time was spent around the train station desperately trying to get a train to Brindisi IIRC.

unfortunately cant see othe rpeopls pics behind firewall....
Croydon
I work in Preston. Even when the sun shines it's truly a miserable place, and I've been to Bracknell.
stoke on trent.
Reading - the town-centre 'improvements' of the last 15 years have merely removed more of the soul it never had.
I grew up in Basingstoke, heaven on earth compared to Stevenage where I ended up working!
Sorry you can't throw Reading in the list when Swindon is but a short drive up the motorway.
Oi! I live in Hull and I've been to MUCH worse places.
Tipton.
Queenstown, Tasmania. Joy is apparently banned there.
+1 for Stoke (very good student days there though early 90's)
Barrow....I just dont understand the place!
How Hull can be categorised as worse than Middlesbrough, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Sunderland, Leeds or London is beyond me.
I lived there for 18 years so speak from experience.
Any of the grim northern towns beginning with B
and Lancaster University (and no it's proximity to the Lake District doesn't make up for it).
Widnes
Runcorn
Slough
My grandparents used to live in Widnes and even as a kid going up there was awful. There was NOTHING to do. Runcorn is basically one big trading estate/chemical works surrounded by a maze of dual carriageways. One of the few places I've been to where you can't even go road riding from the front door without risking your life on horrible dual carriageways.
Slough - doesn't really need anything saying about it! At least it's easy to get out of the place, A4 and M4.
I can only imagine that this place was something of a let down.
Telford
The most depressing spot I know off

Not specifically that branch but the whole lot of them.
Everything about it just says "I have given up on life"
The worst place I have ever been in the UK was Lennoxtown in Scotland. I was only a boy but it left a lasting impression.
Milton Keynes
Hull worse than Leeds? Are you mental?
+1 for Telford
Got a cheap deal on a hotel there for the weekend. Now I know why!
Cost a fortune in taxis going to Iron Bridge to eat / drink.
