5 Best Cities to Live Comfortably in the UK

- What are the best cities to live comfortably in the United Kingdom? Those living in the UK cities are not spared; they’re exposed to everything that cities have to offer. However, you can have all the comforts of this life in many of the cities in the United Kingdom. The challenge there is determining where you would love to stay among those best cities to live comfortably in the UK. I want to base my ranking on several pieces of research that measure the performance of the United Kingdom’s cities against 10 indicators that in people’s opinion are the most important to economic well-being, such as job security, work-life balance, levels of entrepreneurship, and affordable housing. 5. York I’m sure it won’t shock anyone to find York, a walled city in North Yorkshire in northeast England on this list. The ancient Romans who founded the city couldn’t have foreseen the fortune of this cathedral city and unitary authority area situated comfortably at the confluence of the Ouse and Foss rivers. But with its long-standing structures, including a minster, castle, city walls, and other ancient buildings, the city has since a decade been consistently ranked among the best cities live in the UK. Yes, your understanding of North Yorkshire should enable you to easily agree that with York’s inclusion among the best cities. I’ll still like to tell you why I count York among the best cities to live comfortably in the UK. If comfortability matters to you, you would want to live in the city that has been ranked as the happiest. The employment rate in this city is quite encouraging at 73 percent as of 2015, and the situation has continued to improve ever since. Only 21 percent of the population are working over 45 hours a week while 43 percent work between 35 to 45 hours which is considered the normal full-time week work hours. The average annual salary in York is £36,617. You’re not likely to spend more than £2,176 of that on commuting. If you feel like buying a property, you’d need an average of £302,265 while the rent or mortgage will consume an average of £13,585. Would you live comfortably in such a city? 4. Cambridge Only a few people, if any, would argue against the inclusion of Cambridge as one of the best cities to live comfortably in the UK. The world-class most prestigious universities in the city seem to be keeping every other thing fine for it. The presence of those institutions means more employment, more exposure, more educational advantage, more availability of trained and skilled workers, and greater access to medical services. The city along the River Cam is also one of the greenest cities in the UK as it’s doing great to control pollution and preserve the ecosystem. This idyllic greenness goes a long way in popularizing this quintessentially English city, making it one of the best cities to live comfortably. Apart from this high employment rate and other great sides mentioned earlier, the city also has a booming nightlife for those who may miss that in other comfortable cities of the UK. Transportation also is made easy, thanks to Cambridge’s geographical location which makes it just an hour’s train journey to London. In summary, I'm including Cambridge among the 5 best cities to live comfortably in the UK due to its beautiful landscapes and surrounding countryside, booming economy, great employment opportunities, being a center of academic excellence hosting the best universities in the world, and its short connecting trains to London.

Wow... !!! My best friend, thanks to you, I enjoyed watching... I'm proud of you for developing day by day.
5. York 0.48
4. Cambridge 2.27
3. Brighton 3.52
2. Oxford 5.16
1. Edinburgh 6.28
Mean?
Thanks for saving us time!
4 of these places have been run by fruitcakes since the late 2010s so don't see how that can be comforting!!!
This is bollocks was it written by an American tourist? All tourist places Americans tend to go to. Plenty of other more liveable UK cities that are affordable and pleasant to live in
Brighton is not a comfortable city to live in… I know. I live there. It has high levels of homelessness, an uncontrollable drug problem and every other problem you can think of. The housing situation is extortionate and employment is scarce. Good luck trying to live there.
Never been there but I have a friend who.does
Agreed. Brighton is only affordable for people who got on the property ladder in the 90s before the boom, or who've moved down from London. I lived in Lewes down the road, and it was even less affordable
Agreed, my nephew lives there, apparently it is the second worse city in Britain for disposable income and that's taking into account those with money who have moved to the city from elsewhere to retire.
@@ravensthorne4631 most affordable cities to relocate to from America?
Large cities have large city issues so that’s fine, but not trying to live in the projects again😆 I’m from south central Los Angeles in America.
@@ClassyLyfeStylellc Chiang mai Thailand .Look it up .Don't laugh.
I appreciate your work
5. Barnstaple
4. Hull
3. Darlington
2. Great Yarmouth
1. Halifax
5 places with plenty of work and genuinely affordable for truly working class people.
Okay Barnstaple is not a city. It's an affordable place to live and an okay market town, however the job market lacks diversity with few well paid jobs about. It's a little boring, the night life being pretty poor however the surrounding area has a lot to offer.
How do you rate Nottingham in term of paid job opportunities???
@@deborahmotunrayo912 I'd say Nottingham is well up on the list as affordable for working class people, there's plenty of low paid jobs, and if there's two of you then you can get quite a nice property to rent which is affordable . Some places like Swindon, which is considered affordable are genuinely not really affordable any more. Not if you want to enjoy yourself a bit. But for similar jobs and similar rented property ,the towns mentioned, inc Nottingham, you'll have £2-3000 a year extra to spend on yourselves and hopefully enjoy life a bit, rather than struggling to pay bills. You can move away and start a new life up North and be happy, it's great if you choose the right place.
Hull haha
@@sglenny001Hi, what's wrong with Hull, please reply
Awesome list. 👌
Cambridge is very beautiful...I love Cambridge ❤
I would say immediately Newcastle upon Tyne. Brilliant area
I have a feeling you are biased. Could it be you are a Geordie?
Nice people
Do you do your research in a library. This list is difficult to reconcile with my external personal experience of four of the cities.
Pity you got it wrong with the first city shown - York. The second photograph is actually of Edinburgh. And when it comes to Edinburgh at number 1 on the list you only mention two of the city's festivals - the official Edinburgh International Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. You could have also mentioned the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Edinburgh Science Festival, the Edinburgh Television Festival, not to mention the world famous Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. All of these in total make Edinburgh unique.
You said, not to mention the Edinburgh military tattoo, so he didn't.
Yeah ! It's unique if you're a poncey middle class tosser whose parents pay your rent for an overpriced flat !!
Yeh ,but Edinburgh would freeze your nuts off most of the year .
The best cities to live in are usually not the obvious ones that everyone’s heard of, small enough to be pleasant, big enough that there’s loads going on.
Congratulations , outside London you have found the 5 most unaffordable cities , I 100 per cent agree with Newcastle being a great place and it is true with the correct skill sets you personal earnings maybe higher in some of these places but overall there are many cities that offer great opportunities
Missed Bristol🤣
London is a great city but many would hate because they are jealous and don't like the expense or population oh well no one cares, London has a lot that the rest of the UK doesn't have.
Care to mention some of these amazing cities please?
@@elvisaddaiyeboah3721 Hi , first i would like to clarify , that i am saying that there is nothing wrong with any of the places mentioned in the video or with London either , its just that they are expensive places to live in and the title states clearly that its a video about places that are affordable (live comfortably in) . My suggestions of great cities that are less expensive but good to live in would be :-
Norwich
Nottingham
Sheffield
Newcastle
Exeter
Nowhere is perfect and all have better/worse/cheaper/expensive neighbourhoods and i could give you a much better list of towns to live in but the undoubted fact is the five places in the video really are not places you could live comfortably in unless you earned a very substantial wage .
@@colinwelch70 thank you very much colin
Thought Bristol would be in there to be honest
I love Edinburgh, but it's expensive to live there.
Glasgow is best city to live in Scotland UK if u can manage cold weather ☁️
How about Reading, Berkshire?
Not sure about Brighton as it's too easy access to London (can be less than an hour away depending on the train one gets). In fact, anywhere that's within living/commuter belt to/from London is as expensive as London. That includes Oxford and Cambridge. A very misleading list indeed. And the beach in Brighton is stones and pebbles making it very uncomfortable to walk for those with mobility issues. That being said I love all of these places.
The big church in York is a MINSTER, not a Minister.
"You are encouraged to consider Edinburgh as one of the best places to live in England", this load of toss was well researched then!
Since when has Edinburgh been in England, I can see steam coming out of Scottish ears.
@@colinvincent9101 I would be pleased with that...!
Don't get your sporran in a twist Jock ? Just call.it North Britain ?
I love watching these videos, they get most things completely wrong
3 of the 5 places are full of homeless drug addicts and 4 of them are unaffordable. £1300 per month for a 1 bed flat is not cheap.
I could find one for cheaper in London 😬😂
£1300 per month for a flat is extortionate!
Could rent a 3 or 4 bedroom house for less than that in many places.
What you just said is the same in Birmingham full of homeless people and druggies and mental health issues in Birmingham and west midlands place is a dumping ground.
@@wolfpackpete6408 London and the South East has always been more expensive than the rest of the UK as it has a lot more to offer than the rest of the UK as Jobs are more available too.
@@marktaurus206 with rent of £1300 or more, it will have to be quite good jobs that are available.
The title of the video is misleading. Cambridge and Oxford are very expensive places to live. You could live there comfortably ONLY IF you have a comfortably high income.
Who's planted those hills just outside York? Most of Yorkshire is hilly some parts approaching 1,000 meters, but York and all-round it is as flat a pancake.
It could be claimed as Norfolks then.!
Someone pointed out that it's a photo of Edinburgh. D'oh!
@@paulthompson8996 You don't say
...
I don't understand why York always get mentioned over Norwich- there's much more going on in Norwich
Because York has much better links than Norwich.
@@traciesmobile683 not especially and it's slightly faster by train to London
Yeah...may be if you're interested in tractors , combine harvesters etc .
How can you say Best and not include Liverpool, London ,Leeds and Glasgow?
London. Good and bad. Public transport is brilliant, 24 hours a day. Cross into Essex and buses finish befotre 7. Wherever you live, you just have to get on with it.
How about Basildon? Is it affordable? Is it nice to live in?
Basildon is virtually almost East London
Hmmm dont agree much here. Oxford very very expensive over busy and car hating, Cambridge gridlocked and very expensive Edinburgh miserable and grey, Brighton WTF ! and no mention of Exeter - reasonable job availability reasonable property prices, good climate near the coast, lowish crime and good University vibe for youngsters ...
Agree with everything you said. But i wouldn't consider Cambridge a city. It's a market town with a uni.
Cambridge has University city status from what I checked but I guess its only fair considering Peterborough also has city status
I guess you’re an Oxford fan. 😂
@@johnkitchen4699 I love Cambridge but it's small. Not much there. Uni and hospital that's it.
With the SNP in power is Edinburgh still a great place to live for someone from England? I'm not trying to be insulting I just really like to know.
My two England born grandchildren love Edinburgh. I love it too and I am a Glaswegian!
Edinburgh is shockingly expensive SNP or not...
SNP are not anti English !! Incompetent ? Yes. Economically illiterate ? Yes. But not Anti English !
What has snp to do with Edinburgh?? Never heard such an ignorant question . Scotland has been a lot better under snp rather than labour. Tories are just the dodo in Scotland.
Why would it not be? I strongly support Scottish independence. I was born in Edinburgh and love it. And I live in Glasgow and love it even more. I welcome people from everywhere, including England, to either city. People who are pro-Scottish independence are not anti-English, just anti-Westminster. And more pro-Scotland being like a normal independent country. Any English person in Edinburgh or Glasgow who is nice and respectful is a good guy in my books.
Almost nobody can afford the rents in any of these cities 😱😱😱
Brighton rent is cheap? then gives the rent and... wow £1300 pcm for a one-bed. Cheap compared to what?? Who is this guy?
Burgess Hill. Soon to be made a City. It is vibrant . The people are kind and Generous. The Buck Centre. Incorporates its international and intellectual. heart. It is a Gem in the Sussex Crown. Once you have met a Burgess Hillian, you'll never forget them..! It is up there with Cambridge and Oxford.
Interesting that York has a long standing mimister. That is a person. You mean Minster.
Southampton or Ipswich maybe?
There's definitely an argument that Southampton should be on this list given the relatively low cost of accommodation for the South/South East. The job market is also good and it's the economic driver of the region. It's relatively close to London which is good but sadly not really close enough to commute. Nearby Winchester is however but accommodation there is incredibly expensive. It has good transport connections to the surrounding region but is held back by regional transport infrastructure not being well integrated and affordable. No where near as good as say Greater Manchester for example. It also has pretty good weather for a UK city and plenty of green space.
The second worst city to live in is Birmingham and the second best city to live in is Oxford. I really do struggle to see why, just what could be the difference?
Is it immigrants? I heard there were a lot in Birmingham
@@bluecheese4877 HEY! they are diluted by a few whites.
@@bluecheese4877 Immigrants as a thing itself is not a problem. People have been immigrating and emigrating since the dawn of time. The problem is the arrogance and insular nature of contemporary mass immigration.
These people do NOT care for england as a land with a history that goes far back before colonialism, it's own lore, had it's own gods and goddesses, it's own festivals and native celebrations, it's own ways....These people just want to come over for money and force their culture on the natives. And if you say anything they immediately flash the colonialism card....Again England is way way older than Colonialism. Stonehenge is older than the Pyramids and even in Czech Republic they have a structure older than Stonehenge!
So no, Europe and Uk is not a land of colonisers, that's such a tiny part of UK history but these immigrants have no interest in that or the natives...They are as bad as the colonisers they love to blame.
This list is a bit ridiculous. Brighton is a nice place to live but I'd hardly call it affordable. Edinburgh likewise, it's probably one of the most expensive places to go for a pint outside of London.
Excellent
York isn’t part of North Yorkshire. It’s a unitary authority and separate.
Liverpool .I live in the suburbs and never had any problem .we get a bad press and undeserved.you sound like Alan Partridge 😂
Liverpool is excellent
Liverpool the former slave capital of britian is so bad even the beatles coundnt wait to leave
Who writes the scripts it sound just like a badly translated chinese instruction manual
cheap compared to london but uk average salary for non skilled workers. are very difficult right now, not the same when i first come in the earlier 2000, brighton it’s definitely not cheap to live now days
It's cheap to live in Brighton ..£1300 a month...joking aren't ya..expensive !
What about Birmingham?
Will find that under the worst cities.
He can't read his own script! He said York had a minister, instead of Minster
Le Fishe~
Beautiful beaches in Brighton? Nothing but pebbles
Lovely places, unaffordable for nearly all.
Spiritual? Thats the last thing you'd call anyplace in the uk
7min:13sec Edinburgh is the best city in "England?" I never knew that Edinburgh was in England, so much has changed in 10years since leaving Edinburgh.
Sone of the most expensive cities outside of London to live in.
Newcastle upon Tyne has the cheapest house price
Middlesbrough ??
York Minister...?
ok
is Birmingham included?
We're are Worcester and Gloucester and Hereford they are wonderful cities in the country
Herefords dead n they aren't citys g😭
I rate hereford skatepark tho and pardi is good
@@Robsadventures06there are housing estates in most UK cities bigger than Hereford, it’s quite pretty but traffic is awful for such a small place, not much going on for younger people
This was not accurate as a video I wouldn't take this advice as good. Author has made quite a few errors here, I'm not sure they actually even know the UK that well. Brighton, Oxford and Cambridge are all expensive places to live, suffer from congested roads and lack affordable housing.
Brighton " incredable beautiful beaches"...lol horrible dirty beaches full of pebbles...and is a very dirty town,used to live there so glad i left years ago.
So you reckon Oxford is a good place to live.. It isn't. It's grim..dirty, poorly maintained public spaces, badly administered, pretentious, precious, over-priced, poor retail, and over-run by tourists blocking the pavements snapping pics. Enjoy the architecture virtually rather than actually.. far more rewarding than visiting.
You sound grumpier than Insp Morse on a bad day ??!
Basically the most expensive outside London!!!!
Cambridge is the most expensive place In southern England outside London.
Edinburgh is not in England!!!
York MINIster? Really???
Best cities if you have a high paying job you mean
Edinburgh as one of the best opportunities of living in a city in England?! Deary me! Let’s hope you made a simple mistake and realise your own error.
Wow, you have outdone yourself with this list of five of the cities in which I would LEAST like to live - and I know all of them. If you assembled it from statistics you have proved that statistics really aren't everything. These towns are bloody awful places to live.
Live comfortably? Is this a joke?? This is pretty much the five most expensive places to live outside London. I think you need to change the title of the video.
how the fuck is a 1 br flat of 1300 pounds per month in Brighton considered "quite cheap"considering the local shit salaries???? what a joke
Most of these places Oxford, Cambridge Brighton are ok if you have money. Edinburgh no 1 no its gloomy,
old fashioned, drab, Edinburgh Castle is like a block of terraced houses. Not impressed.
Poor quality, Edinburgh in England, utter S4!the.
