Where were you thinking you would go? I would imagine MK is relatively easy for people to get to by car or train etc. The architecture is supposed to be quite good (I've never been. I've driven through quite a few times however).

Accessing MK can be dead easy, or quite difficult at the weekends via rail when track possession is at its highest. (NR is building new tracks and platforms at MK Central station.) Bustitution tends to happen quite often, and I'm not bright enough to know where the NR plans are, if any.

Car parking can be free, and not timed, at the weekends as the masses of free places nearer the station aren't hogged by commuters getting some exercise walking the half-mile to the station. Other spaces near The Hub where much of the current construction is happening are Pay and Display charged every day. I've never found a space mid-week.

I rarely use a tripod in city centres, so have no idea what the policy might be, but the shopping centres are private property and patrolled. They're even using some of these stand-on electric duo-cycles(?) which raise the guy about 20-30cm and provide a speed of around 4-5mph. There are city parks from the west of the rail tracks through to the pseudo country style Campbell park towards the M1 in the east about 1mile away, and there's a variety of lakes, some with bird-hides.
