Interesting to read these reviews about Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton like most places is a town of two halves. It was somewhat unfairly listed by one travel guide as the 5th worst city in the world. I have been to some far worse cities. Wolverhampton has its problems: rough industrial, dirty areas; it has ugly 1960's tower block architecture; it has a big crime and drug problem; a big unemployment problem; the city centre has beggars and some of the shops are very poor. Frankly as a resident of Wolverhampton I don't go into the city centre at night and I avoid it during the day. The heyday of Wolverhampton's nightclub scene has been and gone. I won't dwell ...  Read the complete review

Ive lived just outside Wolverhampton all of my life. Two words spring to mind....dirty and dull. I'm 19 and wouldnt recommend the nightlife round here- more trouble than its worth. The Civic Centre and Little Civic play host to some popular names and there are some talented bands coming out of Wolverhampton. Nice art gallery, average shopping centre, average eating places.

I have lived in Wolverhampton for all my life, and i think it is one of the most miserable towns in this country. It is dirty, smelly, has little for young people to do, and is run by a very elitist group of people. In short, Wolverhampton sucks. About the only thing going for Wolverhampton is the nightlife, whcih in recent years has improved somewaht, more so with the opening of the Litten Tree, Yates and the Canal. If you cannot be bothered to go to Birmingham, then Wolverhampton is not a bad place to be of a nightime, but other than that, it is pretty grim. The shopping facilities at Wolverhampton are again pretty abysmal, with the best shop in the ...  Read the complete review
