• city hall is well was the best place to go because everyone knew were it was and it was easy to get to but then the stupid guards came along and it is a by law that u r not aloud to sk8 there u arnt aloud to breath ither. but the only toter place is new york york st it has some good things like curbs and stuff but is ok.
• well city hall if u are an alternative type b tween the ages of 12 and 20 but on saturdays the stoopid security guards r there to stop people breathing. st annes is nearly finished but there is a police presence totell u to vacate the premises even if ur not sk8boarding
• Impulse comics in smithfield market place behind castlecourt...check out the freaks that hang out in here....especially the guy who owns it....
• ST.Annes has been destroyed so thats out of the question, but there rebuilding it, albeit, very differently. City Hall is a good place to hang out on sat, midday, now that ST.Annes is gone
• in the quad at Queens or behind the houses in botanic aveune up by the QFT.
• the garages in lenadoon, where you get told to fuck off by the ira for standing about with a carryout. the alleys beside it where you learn to smoke from the age of 6.
• Best place is definitely the Albert Clock. A gal can make a lot of money in that area.....

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
