The Stuff We Can't Fit In Somewhere Else

tried the west country for five yep count em five whole years and compared to that bumpkin infested pig racing cheese rolling incest pit maidenhead is almost passable
Maidenhead, in general, consists of people who are very snobby, but without intending to be.
Anybody remember when Maidenhead High St had two way traffic?
Former Maidonian and WIRE JESUS co-founder Damon Torsten is getting the world grooving with his new band NEON - http://www.envy.nu/neonweb
If you want to watch a load of Shirt-boys have a fight, stand outside the Bear Hotel at midnight when the place closes.
The end of the high street (up by the church) is where Charlie and his friends stagger about- you can see them anytime of day drunk as anything and they're always ready to shout at you or sing.

The best thing to do for entertainment in Maidenhead is to leave it.
We now have a cinema, but is more of a T.V. studio. Only seats 100 people.
Cinema: Was going to be TV Studio. Is now deserted. Looks like someone ran out of money...
A weekly season ticket from London to Maidenhead is actually MORE EXPENSIVE than buying five daily singles due to some bizarre BR policy. The man at Maidenhead station said (and I quote) "I am responsible TO the management, not FOR them".
There's a really cool a-capella group called "Voices in Harmony" based here.
The following bands are based in Maidenhead:
02:00 am
The Contenders
Shaky Ground
Jacobs Ladder
Straight Eight
At least one member of the band lives here.
Population 70,000
Site of the largest brick arch in the world- Cheers Mr I K Brunel!
Packed full of celebs, therefore too bloody expensive
Apart from being overrun with 'tossers with attitude', and a bit of a non starter for shopping, pubs/clubs and entertainment in general Maidenhead is a good town to base yourself in - being close to many other places.
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.
