For me it was Nepal. Never seen filth and pollution like it. Shit everywhere, no proper sanitation, flies on meat at butcher's. Just filth, filth, filth.

I hear India is about the same too.

    Parts of India have no working drainage/ sewage infrastructure and get very pongy. But I did think that on the whole Indian people are REMARKABLY clean. It is quite humbling in the big cities to see people literally sleeping on the pavements then getting up and having a good scrub down under one of the public taps. And even in the very poorest shanty towns people seemed to wear clean clothes, and school uniforms were invariably neat and clean to an extent that would shame anyone in the UK. I did once watch a street cleaner on a flyover taking a lot of trouble to sweep up every speck of dirt, then tip the lot over the edge on to the road underneath.

    Literally the dirtiest place I have ever been was the station toilet in Pau in the South of France. The ceiling was thickly coated with shit. Either someone exploded or there had been a dirty protest.

    Some of the toilets in villages in China have to be seen to be believed.

    Just London? lol!! This coming from someone who lives in Bimringham a dirty hell hole!!I .. basically any big urban city. When it comes down to it, London has the most desirable streets, it's just that people who are not worthy have no business being there or knowing about them.

    The Square Mile is probably one of the cleanest areas of any city I've visited.

    Oh god that was really grim.

    One of the shops I went in was selling bottles of coke that were so old they had a picture of Princess Diana on them!

    I didn't think it was too bad. No street lighting and the sodding great holes all over the place were more of a problem.

    Poland when i visited 17 yrs ago on a bus trip to Zakapane( which was nice) but some of the places we drove through were grim, we stayed over night in this hotel in this industrial town( can not remember its name) the hotel was something out of the 60s it was not nice!

    I didn't actually visit it when it was in that state, but the flat upstairs from where I used to live, years back now. My husband saw it, and advised against me seeing it. Think rubbish. Think filled bottles. Think human excrement. We found out about it when the ceiling started leaking.

    "shudder".

    Anywhere that is overcrowded. I didn't think much of Istanbul when I went but it wasn't dirty, just very very busy with people. London wasn't my favourite place to visit but I expected it to be so much more better than where I came from but it was the same if not worse. The way some southerners bang on about it you'd be led into thinking it was perfect and it was far from.
