Best place to live in the UK

[gingergundog]

Apparently Wadhurst has been awarded the Best place to live in the uk. Not even sure how come to these results, I've always thought it was a dump full of estate agents and charity shops, doesn't even have a bank.

Most likely some geezer has got a development down there and needs capital to start shifting houses. Couple of brown envelopes later to the times and hey presto.

I’ve been to Wadhurst, it’s nothing special at all. Tunbridge Wells up the road is much nicer.

Digbeth makes the list
OK for a night out but certainly not to live.

Don’t let Maccy see this, you could find yourself on a short holiday lol

Give it 5 years, 7 new estates and a few HMO's and it'll be joining the list of worst places.

I'm sure that was the place the Welsh guy sitting next to me on the truck up to the top of the mountain for the zip line last year, told me to avoid.

There are lots of nice places to live in the UK, but a bit like fight club, you don't talk about them

I did raise an eyebrow at Liverpool winning for the North West. What on earth were the criteria.

 

[Dis86]

Can't believe whitley bay won for the North east! What the deuce?!

Dunkeld winning for Scotland imo is pretty spot on, having lived not far from it for a good number of years - I'd happily move there for my retirement years.

Is funny is north east, north west, south east, south west.

Then just "the midlands" to cover the entirety of the middle of the country.

These lists change all the time and I'm not convinced the locations massively change in the space of a year or two. I don't really see how a place can go from not being on a list one year and then all of a sudden placing really highly the next.
I think it would make a lot more sense to have tiers (perhaps for different categories depending on what lifestyle people are looking for) and hence less volatility year on year, you'd have the top category with a small handful of towns dropping in and out each year, basically much less volatile.

Might not sell many newspapers though.

Toxteth must have massively improved since I sped through it.

You must have heard the term midlands before.

Orkneys. No people!

Richmond (south east London) is up there.

Very scenic, next to Richmond park, great
transport links into central London, decent enough night life. Just a lovely area all round.

Only downside is it’s expensive as hell
