I love London! But I see why many end up leaving, it’s not sustainable in the long run.

In the future I’d love to live somewhere by the sea, but not in the U.K., as it’s shite x

I love where I live,the architecture and history of the place is amazing and of course I have the ever changing scenery that is the sea/beach.

I'm near to the countryside too so I have the best of both worlds.

Sheffield

Sheffield’s a lovely place, even better now I’m getting to know people in the area.

If I could afford it though, I’d return to London, my nieces are growing up and I don’t see them often enough. It would be nice to be near them.

Cardiff is OK, live a few miles from city centre, got front garden n large back garden n nice views so can't complain.

Wouldn't mind moving in a few years to the middle of nowhere where the nearest house in atleast 1/2 mile away, that would be paradise for me.

Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton's alright. I've seen much worse places.

It's affordable. Has a pretty good mix of people. It's geographically quite small so you can get into the countryside within a few miles. The canals are great to cycle around.

Good transport links. We're not too far from anything. Can get to Glasgow in 4 hours on the train or London in under 2 hours.

It's fairly green for a city. The council are keen to make it greener.

But best of all - it's 300 miles away from my mother-in-law

I love my little border market town. With Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester just over an hour away.

It is such a pretty place with fantastic history and beautiful Georgian architecture. Some buildings are centuries old, the oldest being built in 1609.

We have an artisan market on certain days with stall holders selling local produce as well as continental markets and festivals all through the summer.

Not a lot happens here and that is how I like it

I like where we live, I've lived in many different places but this is by far the best, everything is right on our doorstep, the only downside whichever direction we go in there is hills to get out of our road but if thats the only negative! Oh and the potheads that live in the block that hocks up everytime I'm outside, thats not nice hearing that but I can live with it.

Love it here.

320 people live in our town and we live outside of the town in the country side.

We have a bakers that is open 7 til 12.30 daily and a post office open one morning a week so it’s really a rocking place to live.

This is we’re I will die.

I live in a town circa 15 miles outside of Edinburgh. It has its good an bad points like everywhere else. The street I live in isn't great and I know who I do or don't wish to mix with. I'm lucky I live 7 mins drive from a local beach; surrounded by either coastal trails and countryside; and of course not too far from Edinburgh.

I dont like derby city centre but lests face it not many city centers in the uk are very nice.

My tick list was a village without being cut off, walking distance one way to amenities and a good pub and the other way in in the countryside

Nottingham

I quite like Nottingham. It's very culturally diverse. Not too big and not too small. It has a long and noted history. It has it's good and it's less good areas. A decent nightlife, plenty of employment opportunities.

I've lived in a couple of other cities and it's my favourite. Though I'm biased as I was born here and my family are here.

I like my town. It's a glorified village really but it has beautiful green areas, some really good restaurants and pubs and everything is kind of within walking distance. And it's affordable (kind of) unlike some areas in Cheshire, I can easily be in Manchester or Liverpool so yes, it's not too bad.

The only thing that would make it better is a Booths.

Peterborough

Peterborough is not getting any better.

It's touted by landlords to business owners as a low cost place to hire staff. This is their way of saying the wages are really low, lower than they should be.

We've lost 3 department stores in town over the last few years, not brilliant for the high street.

If you want to see a band or singer that's big, then MK, Cambridge, Leicester, or Nottingham is the nearest place (30 +miles away)

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe

There's about 40 houses in the village where I live. Apart from my upstairs neighbour, the nearest neighbours are a 5 min walk away, as that's the time it takes to walk the length of my driveway.

Nearest pub is 2 miles away in the next village and the nearest shop is 5 miles away.

Love living in seclusion!

swansea

South facing elevated back garden, in a sun strap with panoramic sea views to North Devon, and forest walks to the front, and moonlight bay on bright nights. Squirrels and hedgehogs in the garden, woodpeckers to wake you up in the mornings, with red kites flying overhead, and blue flag beaches, with promenade a walk away to relieve the boredom. Not to mention property at knock down prices, with convenient road and rail links to principle towns and cities. Who would want to live in a shit hole like this???? Slowly though, for some strange reason it's being discovered by the educated few.

Everyone says I’m lucky to live here but unfortunately it’s deprived, there’s a drug problem, housing problem, it’s a typical seaside town. Lovely in the summer miserable in winter. There’s some beautiful hidden gems amongst it though. So I’m 50/50 I have a love hate relationship with where I live.
