Canterbury, Kent 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.)

• starbucks is the place to be by the cathedral . its great but bit expense
• Me and my fellow friends not normally meet somewhere else apart from the skateboard area where we skate, the place where we meet is "castle street," otherwise "stranges house." Castle Street is a street, derrr. In that street is a three story high carpark, where we go and skateboard on the bottom floor mostly, otherwise the top floor.
• The best place is the Westgate Towers. Here you have the whole city at your feet with pub access a mere minute away.
• Gotta be the memorial at the moment, but when the waether's good, the dane jon is the place to be. try the bandstand for shelter if the typical english weather kicks in!
• The beautiful Buttermarket piazza right in front of the grand entrance to the Cathedral.
• The courtyard at Canterbury College
• North Holmes Road, by the post box opposite the university entrance. It's just the place to mock those students who are mentally superior to you pathetic pikey scum.
• Dane John. Nason's square.
• out side McDonalds in the high street. Definatly the place to be in life.
• Don't walk passed McD's after 6pm on a Friday you're garenteed to be asked by a group of drunken kids either #Gis a fag, gal #Got a pound #Can you get me any booze and if you don;t get that then you'll have one saying something like #Oi, cum ere you f***ing stupid wh***
• Outside the campus shop at the university.
• McDonalds used to be THE meeting place for just about every teenager on a Saturday or after school, its just not the same since they moved it!
• The fountain in Dane John gardens and the surrounding grass (the fountain itself is modelled on an orange squeezer- For f***s sake!
• The Clocktower (bus station end of high street) - everyone worthy enough comes here after school - tends to be years 11 and 12 though.
• Big Buds (just down from Next) is the big 15 year old hangout in the early evening... although many pubs don't care about underage drinking.

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.
