Basically every city in the UK has some very nice bits and some really bad bits. Strangely they are often next to one another.
Edinburgh and Glasgow have both got some of the worst areas in the UK (Trainspotting is based on a scheme in Edinburgh) but some very nice parts, particularly Edinburgh. Agree with you on the weather though.
You'll be surprised about Birmingham, its definitely one of the most modern cities in the UK, of course it has its toilet parts but the centre of Birmingham is very nice.
