Buckingham is a small market town about 15 miles from that renowned concrete anthill, Milton Keynes. To the untrained eye, it seems like a rather lovely place to live – old buildings devoid of 1960s brutalism, two supermarkets, lots of little indie shops etc. But the only thing that’s good about it…is not living there.
Despite the posh name and appearance, Buckingham is an absolute hole. Unless you are a chav, there is piss all to do here. Everybody seems to be related to or f**king each other, and has more preteen mums than the average Bradford estate. There is zero nightlife, so the only place to go is Milton Keynes (Oceana) and obviously EVERYONE goes there. Dare to walk through the town centre at any time of the day, and you will be greeted by WKD-swigging, Sovereign-smoking, 14-year-old residents of the council estates Westfields and Western Avenue, as well as the other no-go areas such as Anderton Road and Bourton Road. If your attire lacks any sporting attributes you will have “facking goff” hurled at you because obviously, anyone who ain’t a chav must be a goff. And Buckingham doesn’t like them, hence why most can be found in MK.
Bus services are an absolute joke, with a crummy metal hut posing as the “bus station” where one bus per hour stops if you’re lucky. Cornwalls Meadow car park is THE place to be on Saturday nights, where modified car owners hold their little cruises. Chandos Park is the most common shagging ground for the town’s residents, as well as the annual Charter Fair, where, despite the rides, is just another place for the WKD-swiggers to convene. Beatings, abuse, armed robberies all regularly take place in this regally-monikered hell hole. People here DO NOT WEAR TWEED. They style themselves after Jack Tweed, more like!
This dismal little excuse for a town is best avoided unless you desire to surround yourself with wannabe-cockney Shameless extras.

I think geologically speaking, Milton Keynes is more of a ditch than a hill.
its a good place because nice person lives there.
I’ve lived in this town my whole life and although there are alot of “chavs” about you usually don’t find any trouble at all, it’s not like in cities where they want to abuse you for a laugh they generally keep to themselves and my house has never had any damage to it at all, i can go out at any time of the day in any location and there’s no danger at all. Whoever wrote this must be some sort of goth and that’s practically asking for it wherever you go you know.
Put your dummy back in and cuddle up to your girlfriend/mum. As far as I am aware living in the area there has never been an armed robbery in Buckingham you muppet!!! Shameless Wannabe-cockney extras??? are cockneys not from london?? and where is Shameless set Manchester?? abit of a difference!!! I could go on about ALL the mistakes you have made but due to the fact you are the dumbest person around. Where you are from unless you have 6 fingers and webbed feet you are a freak!!!!!
A well written an informative article. You really have hit the nail on the head with the descriptions of the town and surrounding area.
Well done
Haha!!! Whilst that did make me chuckle a little, I’ve lived near and worked in Buckingham for a lot of my life and it’s no that farking bad!
Being of the …ahem ‘Alternative/Greebo’ walk of life myself I can safely say I’ve never been accosted by any little chav calling me a ‘Goff’! And yea there’s not a massive amout of nightlife but it’s a small town, there are however 6 or 7 pubs, most of which a fine for a drink with a few mates. Never had any problems!
I think you may be being a little harsh! Ever been to Hartlepool?
Just because you can’t afford anything better than a 1 roomed flat on a council estate in Hull. Faggot.
So what your saying is you can’t afford to live there. !
