  • Its great to hang out by the lake at night..very peaceful..lots of hidden pathways...Queen Elizabeth Country park is a 5 minute drive from town and has lots of beautiful forest to explore! There are also many little surrounding villages and pubs to explore.   
  • Oscar's is a Top Club! Decent music, open till 2am, free entry on a Sat before 10, pub price drinks before 10.30. Friendly staff, cool cocktails....lots of totty....no fights, bouncers that put anyone who mis-behaves into low-earth-orbit. I'm there every weekend...and yes, Southsea is closer, but it sucks. The pubs are good in Petersfield too, start in the Square Brewery, then the Royal Oak, then stumble into the club... The local taxi firm is open till 4am...and quiet reasonable. See you there!

What is Knowhere?

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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.
