    The best place to live is Buckingham Palace. You are relatively safe from crime with tall fences and armed guards. You have plenty of spare rooms, a nice big garden and a lake, free rent and free taxi service. No need to go shopping since the shops come to you.

      And when things really turn to s**t, you can hop on your private jet and whiz on over to your secluded 'lodge' in British Columbia...part of which you would also own if you're the owner of Buck House (if you get my drift).

      I thought it was strange when Wolverhampton, Oxford and Aberdeen appeared on the list, but then they went and topped that by putting Swindon at number 1.
      Now if was least interesting place to live I could fully endorse Swindon for number 1.
      They left places like Canterbury and Kendal off the list for these dumps.

    I once had the great misfortune to be short of petrol while making my way home to Carmarthenshire from Oxfordshire. I became hopelessly enmeshed in a bewildering tangle of roundabouts, mini roundabouts and little twisting roads that led nowhere, all on the outskirts of Swindon. I was apprehended by a woman Police Officerette in a patrol car who asked me, roughly "What the 'ell are you doing ?" After a brief explanation she gave me instructions which were supposed to lead to a petrol station but never did. I eventually found one myself, quite by chance.
    If we ever do become invaded by a foreign power I hope they go to Swindon where they will go aimlessly in circles for ever and ever, to be picked off from the sky by the RAF

    I grew up in Plymouth! It's a great place to be a child growing up, a fabulous place to be a college or university student, and a lovely place to retire and grow old in... but for all those years outside of those stages... not so much. The majority of job opportunities sit squarely in hospitality (which are seasonal, and therefore attract the aforementioned college students, so you're competing with them,) or care work, which you've really got to be cut out for. Not many industry or 'professional' type career opportunities down there, so most young adults end up leaving the town to get better jobs in other parts of the country. And now you have the problem of 'Holiday Commuters' pushing up the house prices, because these people on six-figure salaries in London buy property down there for 'weekend getaways,' which pushes up the house prices and means the locals who grew up there now can't afford to buy a house *in their own town.* Meanwhile, the economy also slows down because all these Holiday Commuters have bought up all the decent houses but are hardly ever there to use the shops and local businesses, so they make less money.

      If you listen to the BBC, you will occasionally hear journalists refer to parts of Yorkshire as being in the North East, even as far down as Hull and the Humber and you won't ever hear any arguments or corrections.
      Owing to the fact that the eastern coastline does not run north-south, 'North East' is a problematic description for use in England because Northumberland and Durham lie well west in terms of longitude of much of the rest of the country (including the coast of Yorkshire). For example, Newcastle-upon-Tyne is on the same line of longitude as the West Midlands!
      We really need some new terminology but the modern-day name 'Northumbria' won't do either as it literally means 'land north of the Humber' which Northumberland and Durham technically are but not immediately north of it. It should be 'Northteesia'.

    I live in Swindon And I was surprised to see this on the list however it isn’t that bad the town centre needs upgrading and so does most of our buildings we have good railway links to London, Bristol, Wales And The Cotswolds however if they upgraded the town centre it would be a great place to live we have so many parks green space and even a designer outlet village

    Plenty of discontent among the viewers of this video, I must say. It's all down to personal choice I suppose and will find much disagreement.
    By the way, Swindon is to the East of Bristol, not west 8:38.
    Yes, I wouldn't put Glasgow, Aberdeen or Swindon in my top 10; whilst Oxford and Cambridge are rather too focused on the obvious.

      I agree that it is down to personal choice. I grew up in Edinburgh and enjoyed it up to the age of 25, when I left but I wouldn't move back there now. I know Aberdeen and Glasgow fairly well and personally would rate both fairly highly.

    Wolverhampton is officially listed everywhere as one of the most violent, dead end places to live in the UK. It’s also highly ‘multicultural’ meaning you have all of the segregated and opposing communities and associated difficulties that come with medieval religion. Terrible place.

      Well put. I live in the better end of town. But it's cheap to buy a house and excellent for getting to work in neighbouring areas of Britain. The only really well paid jobs are the doctors there and they take up most of the new wealth. Unfortunately what's happening is these jobs are now being filled by nice law abiding people from around the world. But they are the nicer bunch. But affluence is now being passed to foreign nationals. The private schools are full of foreign nationals children. I know this for a fact.

    Some of the places on this list have very expensive property prices, notably Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Cambridge and Oxford. I grew up in Edinburgh and, although it has many things going for it, there are just as many grotty areas away from the city centre as anywhere else. Different people will want different things and I know that the Magic Roundabout in Swindon is a wonder of the transport age (although I prefer the one in Hemel Hempstead). I would have said Nottingham might have justified inclusion and possibly Newcastle, as well as some of further places others have already mentioned.

    • @mxbx307
      @mxbx307 2 года назад +1

      Yep, also grew up in Edinburgh and now live elsewhere. I now feel very out of place every time I go back, that and the sort of lifestyle I enjoyed as a child is now totally out of reach despite me earning more than my parents did. And some of it is really horrible.
      It's just not home anymore. It's also very much like London in that it's at its best when you're young and unattached - now that I'm 35 and seeing someone, the city just doesn't hold the same appeal.

    • @pauljeavons8878
      @pauljeavons8878 Год назад

      I believe Nottingham goes down a few pegs for the simple reason that it's a mafia capital and has high crime levels. But job opportunities are not as bad as some and it has work travel opportunities as it sits on the M1. Anything M1 will always be vibrant work wise.

    Top tip.
    Always, and I mean always, stay away from areas that are described as "cosmopolitan".
    It is very similar to an area being "culturally enriched".
    It's not what you think it means.

    • @mxbx307
      @mxbx307 2 года назад

      In my experience "cosmopolitan" is used sarcastically.
      Much like "desirable" is just a term that means the locals have all left and nobody can afford a home.

    There are any number of beautiful places to live in the UK but at what cost? Born and raised in London with employment close by made it easy but come retirement you would need to seriously adjust your thinking. Although I found the choice of Swindon amusing and suggest the author should have tried living there first before applying the rating.
