Data was gathered by using the search phrase ‘Luton is’ in Google and noting the most relevant top autocomplete suggestion.

And unfortunately for Luton, the data suggests the town is seen as a dump and dangerous by the rest of the country while many think it is in London.

Luton was not alone, though, with many UK cities including nearby Milton Keynes, Manchester, Sunderland and Portsmouth also labelled a dump while Hull was dubbed “a portal to Hell” and Swansea described as “the graveyard of ambition.”

The data uses search engine Google’s autocomplete tool to find what was the most searched adjective associated with every UK city.

A spokesman for the data analysis said: “The results we must say were surprising, and most certainly to be taken with a pinch of salt.

“We can’t say we agree with many of the suggestions Google threw up for our beloved UK cities, and we’re sure you wouldn’t either, but they did give us a giggle at least.”
