Reigate
Reigate was stripped of its MP for corruption in 1868 and has behaved impeccably ever since, in the quiet hope that nobody brings it up. Even the castle has gone underground: what's left that matters is the caves, which suits a town that keeps anything untidy out of sight and leaves the Friday nights to Redhill. Estate agents stretch the name over any postcode with a view of Reigate Hill, and buyers pay a premium for the stretch.
