Write an entry Entries about this placeUrban planning by daydreamerMK is one of the many “New Towns” created to cope with the growing population, and probably the most (in)famous. My first bewildered impressions when I first visited years ago were of the many pedestrian walkways and underpasses, the grid layout of the roads and how much space there seemed to be. over 3 years agoUntitled by GardeningfanMy husband’s brother and sister-in-law live near here, so we went there for shopping. over 3 years ago(One of) my hometown(s)! by Susan PotterI spent the most influential years of my life in MK (teenage years), so my perspective is probably a little out of whack with others that live or visit there as adults. Last time I visited my family still in MK was 2002, so I will probably also be quite out of date. Milton Keynes gets a lot of flack from other Brits, but few have been to it. It isn’t San Francisco, but it is also not the worst place ever (aka Luton). But if you want to live in a decent sized town near London that has a good amount of diversity considering its size, you could do a LOT worse than Milton Keynes! For those that want to visit for tourism, it might be not up your alley and the concrete cows are definitely NOT worth visiting Milton Keynes exclusively for! However, those interested in urban planning would get a lot out of visiting the modern designed town. Also those interested in WW2 history can visit Bletchley Park where some historians believe the war in Europe was actually won. over 5 years agoUntitled by mandahodgesWe went tubing and snowboarding at Exscape. The indoor ice slope is a blast! over 5 years agoNot staying here now by Miss_Bee…as I couldn’t find anywhere so am staying in Luton though of course I will be in Milton Keynes on the 11th June for the Bon Jovi. I won’t get much chance to see much if any of MK but I plan to come some other time too :O) over 5 years agoSee all 15 entries |
