New research names Milton Keynes as one of the worst places for a night out in Britain

    New research has listed Milton Keynes as the 10th worst place for a night out in the UK.

    A study, from Get Licensed, has analysed the number of venues per head, the cost of a pint and a range of safety issues to reveal the best and worst nights out in Britain. 

    Milton Keynes has been named by the research as the 10th worst in Britain for a night out.

    According to the research, Milton Keynes scored 31st out of 50 on drinking score, the scores came from data for drinking venues and the price of a pint.

    If you want the best night out, York has been named to go, with the overall worst place in Britain being Coventry.

    Get Licensed explained their methodology here: "We wanted to find out which UK towns and cities are the best places for a good night out. We considered a range of factors including the number of venues per head, the cost of a pint, and a range of safety issues.

    "The data we used for the number of bars and clubs was taken from Tripadvisor, while the number of pubs close to each location was taken from CAMRA’s whatpub.com. We then compared this data to the populations of each town and city using data from The Geographist

    "Additionally, we sourced the price of a pint from Numbeo. This figure was given as a price per 500ml, which we used to calculate what a pint measure would cost in proportion. We also used Numbeo’s safety data to track a range of safety-related factors for each town and city.

    "We combined all of these factors into a single overall score, where each was given equal weighting. We also created separate scores for each town and city-based purely on drinking factors and safety factors."
