Best place to live in the uk ?

Kate Kestrel

Looking for advice! We are looking to move house - and are doing research into where to move to. So thought I’d ask on here: where do you think is the most lively place to live in the uk? Most beautiful, most friendly, best quality of life etc etc? We don’t want to live in the middle of a big city, but apart from that have an open mind. We love nature so access to nature is a big priority. Would love to hear people’s views on this! Thanks!

  • I’ve live in Dorset, Bath  and Henley on Thames for extended periods, I’ve always returned to central London. Because everything is here. Even on low days you can al says find something to do. I found the southwest one on my favourite regions for its beauty but also with youthful options energy it’s a lot easier to glaze over imperfect things. Now I’d much rather pay for things which work without making excuses. Plus you can still get nature in the city, if you live by the river and parks. It’s just a lot less isolated. The only thing I miss is sandy beaches but the river foreshore is kind of an underrated beach.

    The South West is still top of our list at the moment. I lived in London when I was at Uni (a long time ago now) but it was too much for me really - too busy and overstimulating, and I didn’t feel very safe there. I think though that the access you have there to so many wonderful things to do is really wonderful. I saw so many bands, went to so many concerts and plays and exhibitions- I’m so glad I lived there for a while and got to experience that. So many wonderful memories of all of that.
