There's at least 3 that I know of - Ladybower Reservoir near Sheffield, Thruscross near Harrogate and Thirlmere in the Lake District.
There used to be a church spire visible in Ladybower when the water level was low but this was deliberately knocked down some years ago, possibly as many as 30 years back. There are two villages under Ladybower.
Remains of houses, walls, roads, bridges etc are visible in all the reservoirs when the water levels are low.

Haweswater in the lake district near shap has the village of Mardale under its waters, The valley where it stood' was flooded in 1937 to provide water for Manchester the population were moved to other locations, also the village of Stocks in Bowland is submerged under Stocks reservoir which is near Slaidburn.The tower of the church which stood in Mardale cannot be seen when the water recedes as all there is, is a pile of rubble, the only evidence of a village having been there. I can vouch for this as i saw what remains during the drought in the 70s.

in the Lake District, there is a village under Thirlmere, but I don't think there is much left of it, and Mardlae under Hawsewater, all the buildings were knocked down but you cna still see the walls and stuff when its really low

even if technically it' not a city, my vote is going to Birmingham the place i'm from. it fairly is a rundown city and is between the dreariest places interior the united kingdom. to not point out having the worst accessory in Britain. additionally Birmingham is formally the main unfriendly place in England. *of course there is London's acceptance yet exterior of London it fairly is actual Birmingham. there is a good number of drug problems right here in Birmingham and it fairly is unofficially everyday as Britain's terrorist base.

I have been there and I'm not 100% sure but i think on one of the tourist boards it mentioned something about the village being flooded and you can sometimes see it when the water is low.
