  • I'm a german. Margate is the perfect holiday resort for me, because its originally. I can understand that you englands don't like it but its so good for me :)

  • @Karle07

    Vielen dank! Nice to have a positive comment on here at last, and from a continental visitor too. Margate's on the mend in my opinion.

  • Grew up there and moved out as soon as I could, never been back and never will.

    A total shithole now..

  • well now its got a pisshead on every corner.. and its so downhill with chavs and scumbags and dealers

  • Its such a shame as Margate in its day was a great place to go in the summer with Dreamland and all the arcades- now its just run down, boarded up with weirdos and drunks everywhere!

  • when i went there i saw a block of flats with shot out windows

  • I was born and bred in Thanet and it shames me to see what it has become...Margate & Ramsgate are sterile, downbeat, shabby places and only Brodstairs seems to thrive, thanks to to the local tradespeople and residents. Dreamland, Margate pier, Pleasurama, , Ramsgate Model Village, Pegwell Bay Hoverport - all gone and what has been left in their place? Derelict areas frequented by drug addicts, winos, grafitti artists and other ne'er-do-wells....sort it out Thanet Council!

  • Shit Hole like the most of Kent now

    Slobs of Europe the Dust Bin of the World

    No hope!!!!!!!

  • London is only 70 minutes away and Margate has a great beach, I do not go for a day trip to see art!!!!!!!!!!!, clean the car parks up and have a zero tolerance to graffiti, last time I was there is felt like bad parts of Hackney, no excuses Thanet council, you have failed the people of Margate, sort it out with the revenue from your new out of town shopping area which also helped to destroy the High Street in Margate.

  • i was in Margate in 1970 age 8 and had a lovely time, haven't been back since. Sounds like I shouldn't bother :-)
