Advantages: lots to see and do.

Disadvantages: parking as with all towns difficult

My sister and I love going to CMK together as the shopping centre is fab! Everything you could think of in the way of shops and more besides.

I love all the out of town shopping places too - Milton Keynes definitely seems to have the biggest and best of all the stores - B&Q, Tescos, Ikea and so on. I have noticed that roundabouts are a whole new ball game in Milton Keynes though - apparently you don''t have to stop even if there are cars coming from your right!

I personally wouldn''t want to live right in Milton Keynes as to me it all looks the same and I never know where I am from one road to the next however I know there are some nice areas and I assume there are great benefits to living in such a modern area. Certainly the amenities are fabulous.

Have been to a concert at Milton Keynes Bowl too which was a fab place to see such a thing so thats a great thing to have. The dry ski slope is also cool and lots of fun. There are so many places to go, things to do and places to eat in MK you are spoilt for choice.
There are also lots of lovely English villages in the surrounding areas if you venture out a little way. Its not exactly a holiday destination but has its own charm.

Fancy a go at snowboarding, you can do that here. Shops and restaurants here as well at the x scape centre.

The train station offers great connections all over the UK. As you'd expect, they have a bus station to match the variety of desinations that the trains offer. Want a flight, Luton is 15-20 minutes away.

There are a handful of interesting clubs here if that is what you need. They have a Chiquitos here for half decent Mexican food too.

If you've never been to Milton Keynes by car, it is a different adventure as it is build more like an American roads system with it build like a grid.

Summary: great for shopping and nights out
