10 Best Places to Live in the United Kingdom

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.

I DIED of laughter when Swindon popped up as number 1, and the "If you've ever been in Swindon as a tourist" just finished me. Who tf goes to Swindon as a tourist? 😅

I will never take a single word you say as fact after watching this hilarious video.

Chester is a lovely city on the River Dee and within easy reach of Manchester and Liverpool

If I could choose one place to live in the UK it would be Keswick in The Lake District Cumbria. Beautifully clean place and has everything you need, friendly people and just a few minutes walk from the town centre to Derwent Water Lake which has stunning scenery. Love it and have many great memories.

Some shockers in that list!! If you are considering moving to the UK, ignore almost everything that geezer just said!!

A note to all you Londoners who have made a fortune selling your basement flat in Balham and are looking for a mansion in rural Devon and a Pied a Terre in a city please can you give Devon a miss and give the local youngsters a chance.

I live in Taunton Somerset and i have lived in quite a few places in England and I love it here and its winters are not so cold as Scotland.

I lived in Swindon for four years. The worst place I've ever lived. A headless place culturally and a nightmare of badly planned expansion.

This was the best comedy video I've seen for a long, long time!!! (I do agree on York, though).

You forgot to say “this video is brought to you by Swindon town council” at the start.

Amazed at the inclusion of Wolverhampton and Swindon.

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.

For people who have a passion for roundabouts and desolate town centres yes Swindon is the top choice.

Norwich is a fine city - it says so on the sign. It should definitely be on this list.

Have lived in both Sailsbury and York. Lovely cities enjoyed by both younger and older generations.

Exeter,lived there for a few years in the 60's but visited this past September.Changed but still beautiful.

Glasgow! OMG. Did my PhD there, the weather is dreadful. Has amazing culture, lovely people etc but if I lived there the endless grey damp days would destroy my soul.

This channel lost all credibility for me when it put Swindon as the number 1 best place to live in the UK

Portsmouth is my absolute favourite. I have lived there for studies and I loved it . Like from Greece.
