Potters Bar, Hertfordshire Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• Unless you go to local schools, *unfortunatly* it usually means you dont have a 'crew' to hang around with outside McDonalds/Bus Stop/Highstreet/Bradmore Green in Brookmans Park
• You can't blame all the rude boy's and hoodies for hanging round down the Station or Parkfield. There's absolutly nothing to do for young kids of this generation to do in PB, Borehamwood have an shopping park, really good sports centre and that cinema bowling omniplex thing. It's sad that the kids behavior has to get worse for anything to get better. There's been 10's of stabbings, assaults and robberies. The Council should show some interest in the youths that are going to be running this country in the future.
• Seamuses where all the 14 and 15 year olds party and drink their night away. No ID required. Pedophile paradise if your a dirty perv into little teenage girls.
• the park....nice levels of oxygen.
• Corner of auckland rd with the girls
• genrall juvenail miscreants tend to pray to the much fanced god of alcohole in such grandeious places as the potters bar train station or another popular place 4 loitering the war memorial at oakmeare park. there innocent by passers who show the slightest evedence of conquring puberty are hasseled but the underpriverlaged underaged masses for the slightest drop of alchole, natrually they turn 2 the bicardi brezzers to the amusement of all who wacth.
• We used to hang around in oakmere and parkfield drinking white lightening fighting and lighting fires. Oh those happy days
• i agree potters bar station is full of a lot of well hard kids but i was there once there used to be bout 100 of us hanging around there and oakmere it was fun well when u have nothin else to do. dont b scared just dont be mouthy either.
• McDonalds is a louts paradise,please throw your waste in a bin when you have finished your meal,you horrible sportswear clad oiks
• The potters bar posse are everywhere you look, you can't escape them
• This has got to be the station down Darkes Lane, don't know if the mob still congregate up Oakmere Park, that's where we all used to go before we could get into the pubs!! - sad I know!!
• at the station lots of baseball capped kids hang out for no purpose that i can currently explain!
• Darkes Lane has plenty of places to go and is home to Potters Bar Station. Unfortunately there are not many places for young people to hang out, there is only so much swimming one can do, and you can only play(1) on the swings for a few years. Any ideas!
• Couple of parks off the High Street, but beware underage drinkers, they both have lakes!
• what else do youngsters have 2 do- the only reason they have a go is because people like u who have 4gotton that u were young put em down so much. leave them alone! the pubs r ok- we need more! ! !
• "Dossing" down the station - Well Hard! Double Hard Bastards!
• Go to the Admiral Byng if you find yourself forced to drink in Potters Bar, the drinks are cheap and the burgers are good. There are other good pubs, Cask and Stillage, Green Man, Wylyotts, but they're full of rude-boys, so beware.
• Rogan's Place- the perfect place known only by the hallowed few.
• The Joyful Restaurant is not what it was - now a very cheap eat-as-much-as-you-can!
• The station. Where else? Very scary place if you're not in "the posse"
• Join The Station Posse outside Sainos

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide.
