Bracknell, Berkshire 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.)

• The best place to get hooked up in Bracknell has to be ... "Reading"!! only 20mins away and not quite as many Trevs and scrots who think of themselves as the next big thing. Townies like the Red Lion pub followed up with "Colours" This has to be the most stupid excuse for a nightclub in the world. It's a pool hall for gods sake!!! get a life!
• Used to be South Hill Park before they ruined it.
• Every wannabe teenage single mother and little glue sniffing scrot in Great Hollands seem to hang out at the shops trying to get people to buy them white lightning and fags. I once had an eight yr old ask me for a cigarette.
• I think the subways are all checked out these days, that's good.
• Outside Waitrose.... Get a life!!! Oh and if you like cars and Staffordshire Terriers then head on down to Ladybank and help the twats with their cars up on jacks tinkering with then engine of thier 20 year old Fiesta trying to get it actually go. Of course if they don't then they just dump it there and leave the other boys to clear it of any usable parts. If you're lucky you might pursaude the council to remove it 6 months later.....
• Any park or telephone box! Round up all the Trev's and ship em off to Iraq
• That hallowed spot is exactly the same as when I left Bracknell 10 years ago. Thank you Guide to Knowhere for reminding me why I moved to the other side of the planet. No more, are you looking at me?
• South hill, definitly
• Outside any phone-box, neighbourhood shopping centre or Grundon bin seems to be attractive for the smelly 12 year-olds to start families.
• anywhere on bracknell's many rough estates.
• Bowling alley which serves its own microbrewed beer and has a pizza place next to it.
• outside point royal is our favoured place to get drunk, especially if ur pissed & lie down on da floor lookin at da tower block, then it looks like its 18 floors r spinning in the air!
• Notice for all the pregnant 13-15 year olds: Meeting at Mount Pleasant every Friday evening (after the Manor). Feel free to bring lots of fags to intoxicate your unsuspecting children. Free passive smoking for all. Free hooch for everyone that arrives before bedtime.
• Try Crown Wood shops at night if you dare.....
• East Lodge. In the early eighties there was an adventure playground here, everyone used hang out here, arts, crafts and much more. A great place to hang out.
• If you really want an exciting Saturday, Princess Square shopping centre is the place to be!! The aim of the day, how many times can you get kicked out by security for loitering with intent? when actually all you are doing is sitting with your mates and generally pissing about!!
• don't hang around here unless you want to get stabbed.
• The clock fountain up town is a good spot as wellas outside mc d's town is thriving with guys and girls between 12 and 23 on a sunday looking for a new passing fancy.
• well, bracknell? lets think, got to be the boot. full of 15 year old looking birds and lads who rekon they're it...? good for a laugh.
• The park in crown wood or crown wood field.I cant help but laugh at the amount of kids there when i go home surely i was never that bad when i was their age!!!!Oh god now i sound old!!!!Failing that you can find the usual yobo's hanging out in town at the fountain or outside Maccy D's trying to get in to the Bull pub!!!!
• There is a new mini ramp at the sports center.
• Outside 'The William Twigg'located in the infamous bronx of Bracknell called - Great Hollands Shopping Centre.
• The corner of Calfridus Way outside the BT phone box - BT did this on purpose with the soul purpose of pissing off everyone who lives in the vicinity. When irate residents complained to BT and hinting it would become a trouble spot we were told to go forth etc.....
• Hmm....I would have to say the grounds behind South Hill Park. I used to hang out there when I was but a young laddie. I would however suggest that the bar staff should stop serving beer out of plastic cups. I know I was young at the time but plastic???? They've got to be having a laugh?????
• Train station - mainly because Reading is really the place to be.
• Hook up spot........hmmm. I don't live in Bracknell (thank god) but my brancknellian mate informs me in her common as muck accent that 'darn the sports centre' is the place to be.
• For nasty kids with real attitudes, the Point is the place to be on Friday Night/Sat Afternoon/Night and school holidays. For a nice summer evening with loads of ale, try South Hill Park.

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.
