Sick Britain

One of the first sites I came across when entering the murky world of Urban Exploration was Derelict Places, a UK Urbex forum. The forums are home to a great number of users who post site reports, general chat and other stuff and the atmosphere there is nice and friendly – I strongly encourage you to visit and meet the guys over there.

P.S. The eagle-eyed of you might spot that the Google ads in the top-right contain a link to this very site, that’s because Sick Britain contributor thirtyfootscrew was sent a free £50 Adwords voucher and valiantly used it to help promote this blog!

Named after the zombie movie of the same name, 28 Days Later is (as far as I know) the most active of all the UK urbex forums and is the ‘go to’ place to chat with other explorers, get ideas for locations, read other people’s site visits, etc. In a forum this prolific you can pretty much guarantee that what you want to know will either already be posted, or someone there will be able to help. I highly recommend that you register, make sure you read the rules and then start participating – this is the best place to build a real urbex community so if you’re interested in the hobby then get posting!
