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 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 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.

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.
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
@Andrew Williams😂my experience of Swindon in the 70s was being smacked in the face at a petrol station, by what I thought was a long haired hippie, I was a hippie at the time, so much for love and peace, as for Wolverhampton, this list is a piss take!
@@snowysnowyriver Yeah, you're probably right. I've always said one of the joys of Norfolk is that it isn't a drive-thru county - unless you're heading for the North Sea - so most outsider-people don't even know it's there. No motorways, lots of B roads and By roads for tourists to get lost on - brilliant.
@@653j521 I can imagine they do. everyone who lives or has lived here thinks it's a dump but we will defend it when people are too harsh. only people from wolves can poke fun at wolves.
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.
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.
"Honey you said we're moving to the best place in the UK! Could it be London, no maybe Bath? Edinburgh is a lovely option too. Oh I'm so excited!" "No no darling, we're going to the Barcelona of the North...Swindon Town awaits!" "I'm leaving you."
Living anywhere in UK on average salary is like living in hell . 60% is spent on rent , 20% on energy and insurance bills . So with remaining 20 % manage your life . No one can be happy in UK if they don’t have a mortgage free ownership of a house . Living standards are falling by the day .

I spent 3 years in Swindon. Have to say I'm surprised to find it topping the list- unless they only surveyed higher earners, or there's been a massive influx of well-paid jobs. People also used to say don't live in a district beginning with P, and it had one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy back then.
I'm from glasgow. It's got lots of concert venues. And people enjoy socialising at the theatre or the cinema or even see your favourite bands at a concert venue of your choice

Yep I stopped taking this list seriously when he labelled Cambridge as "affordable". In my previous job I had to research this type of thing and incomes, especially of normal middle/working class folks and Cambridge was an eye-opener!

I am an American who lives outside of Swindon, and honestly, it reminds me of an American city like Chicago, if you’re not from the area. You see people staring at you like they’re in a gang, looking like they’re about to make a move. Causing you to leave the scene for safety reasons, knife crime in Swindon doesn’t help. Graffiti absolutely everywhere even in the city center just makes it more depressing.
You have to be kidding me. It's the lowest paid jobs in England for a city. It's dirty, smelly horrible and they don't speak English it's a grimey place...oh!!!! and dog 💩 all over the place, don't look up when walking.....
It depends where in Wolverhampton. You have got really lovely places. Unfortunately the city centre is a disgrace. It has so much potential though. People are overall friendly. People make a place :) Let's not judge people by the cover sometimes.
@@rabiattoyin3113 You have got lovely places like Wightick Manor, Bantock Park, Penn, a theatre, an art Gallery ( it is not Paris or London of course but it is quite pleasant), Saint Peter Church, an hospital etc. Not far from Wolverhampton, you can take a bus to visit the Walsall Gallery ( free of charge) with paintings from Delacroix, Picasso, Gaugin, Matisse etc It is clean, spacious with a souvenir shop with a cafe near by. Wolverhampton It is about 20 minutes by train from Birmingham, you can take the tramway if you prefer ( it s a bit bit cheaper than the train). As Wolverhampton is in the Midlands, you have got easy access to Telford, Stafford, Shrewsbury, London, Manchester, Nottingham etc. The city is surrounded by lovely villages like Albrighton, Bilbrook etc : easy access by bus and trains. You have got also two big parks: East Park and West Park. Both being a short distance from the city centre. A cinema : the Lighthouse with regular Meetups and an excellent selection of films, cultural meetings etc. The city centre is a bit of a disgrace like many cities in England but there is potential and things are getting better. I heard it used to be a much better place ( a long time ago) with House of Fraser which closed a couple of years ago. The city centre is not the poshest place on hearth but people are usually friendly and helpful ( never had any problems). There is a Mark and Spencer, a Sainsbury ( a bit far from the city center though), and some regular shops you usually find in any city in the UK. There is a tramway from the city which goes to Birmingham as well.
Glasgow has totally changed over the past few years. You can safely go out for a night in the city and come to no harm. It's a far cry from it's 'No Mean City' days
@@bendover2865 no, but I lived.there for about 10 years in the nineteenth and seen or heard nothing about drugs, unlike where I live now, in Manchester.

@@shoehaven1 I've been to most the towns of the UK as a delivery driver. I've lived in a few different towns and had girlfriends in others, visited relatives in Wales and Yorkshire. I've been around
Despite Swindon long being home to one of my favorite bands, XTC, a true challenge of living there would be dealing on a daily basis with all the nerve-racking roundabouts, even mini-roundabouts nestled within larger round-abouts.
What about Wales? Wales has the lowest crime rate of all of the UK and is a beautiful country with lovely people and I live there and can tell you that I've been around the UK and Wales is a wonderful place to live.
@@gj91471 yes it's a lovely place, mumbles is called the Welsh Riviera and has a wonderful castle and a really nice beach and very nice pubs and shops too, I live about 25 miles from there and it's one of my favourite and places for getting away for a day, thanks for your reply Graham.👍🏴
Wales has the lowest crime rate because it has a smaller population than Scotland and a significantly smaller population than England. It's better to look at crime rates from a percentage.
After moving to Scotland from England with my parents a few years ago, it has been a struggle to settle in, more so for personal reasons, but I live about an hour away from Edinburgh and after going a few times it's my favourite city in the UK currently. There's plenty of attractions and shops and the place has such a charm about it.
Hear hear. Live West of Glasgow, been to Glasgow a few times, can't love it. Went to Edinburgh the 1st time during COVID restrictions. Was amazing even with that caveat in place. Literally one of the best cities in the UK.
Wolverhampton and Swindon? Put the meth pipe down and show someone sensible your script before committing it to the internet. They may help you correct your grammatical errors too.
Thanks for the laugh at the end. Swindon is surrounded by beautiful places but that's it. Everyone leaves swindon to shop as the town centre is desolate with only shops like the Pound Shop and Primark - could have been better but the Council don't like making improvements.
We lived in Plymouth 50yrs ago. Argyll and Sutherlanders were billeted there. Best place on earth to live at the time. Not to mention the safest. We lived in a house called 'Sungates'.
I live in Oxford and it’s fucking extortionate on the rent. Looking at £1400 a month RENT for a two bed in a shitty part of the city - don’t believe this guy, it’s all bollocks. I’ll be swift getting the fuck out of here soon
I really thought this video was a joke when I saw Swindon’s name on the screen. How come somebody decided to do that and get away without any kind of penalty? 😂
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.
Is this meant to be funny ‘cos I fell off the sofa laughing when Aberdeen was in there, then Plymouth and Wolverhampton, comedy gold, and finally I died laughing at Swindon No.1 🤣

You have to be kidding me. It's the lowest paid jobs in England for a city. It's dirty, smelly horrible and they don't speak English it's a grimey place...oh!!!! and dog 💩 all over the place, don't look up when walking.....
Swindon, Wolverhampton are a bit dodgy on there!
It depends where in Wolverhampton. You have got really lovely places. Unfortunately the city centre is a disgrace. It has so much potential though. People are overall friendly. People make a place :) Let's not judge people by the cover sometimes.
Swindon is infested with beggars
@@helenefrench4275 please what is all about Wolverhampton? I just got admission into the school and preparing to relocate
@@rabiattoyin3113 You have got lovely places like Wightick Manor, Bantock Park, Penn, a theatre, an art Gallery ( it is not Paris or London of course but it is quite pleasant), Saint Peter Church, an hospital etc. Not far from Wolverhampton, you can take a bus to visit the Walsall Gallery ( free of charge) with paintings from Delacroix, Picasso, Gaugin, Matisse etc It is clean, spacious with a souvenir shop with a cafe near by. Wolverhampton It is about 20 minutes by train from Birmingham, you can take the tramway if you prefer ( it s a bit bit cheaper than the train). As Wolverhampton is in the Midlands, you have got easy access to Telford, Stafford, Shrewsbury, London, Manchester, Nottingham etc. The city is surrounded by lovely villages like Albrighton, Bilbrook etc : easy access by bus and trains. You have got also two big parks: East Park and West Park. Both being a short distance from the city centre. A cinema : the Lighthouse with regular Meetups and an excellent selection of films, cultural meetings etc. The city centre is a bit of a disgrace like many cities in England but there is potential and things are getting better. I heard it used to be a much better place ( a long time ago) with House of Fraser which closed a couple of years ago. The city centre is not the poshest place on hearth but
people are usually friendly and helpful ( never had any problems). There is a Mark and Spencer, a Sainsbury ( a bit far from the city center though), and some regular shops you usually find in any city in the UK. There is a tramway from the city which goes to Birmingham as well.
I wouldn’t live in Glasgow unless I had a platoon of the SAS to ferry me around at night.
I’ve heard bad story’s of friends getting in bad situations on nights out for not being Scottish
@Ima Rebel And I've heard that it's Stories.
Glasgow has totally changed over the past few years. You can safely go out for a night in the city and come to no harm. It's a far cry from it's 'No Mean City' days
@@11989matthew I went to Glasgow last September for my birthday and had a great time. No problems with the locals. I'm Welsh btw.
Wolverhampton? At that point, I switched off.
😂😂😂
Reading your comment I decided not even to start watching it .
@@Marvin-dg8vj Very wise mate. It was painful!!
Congratulations for your national holiday on 21st April Great Britain from your friends in Germany
Deutschland is so schon auch. Ich mochte gern nach Hamburg und Shwering Fahren. Tut mir leid : mein niveau auf Deutsch is nicht sehr gut :)

Hello
Thanks brother ❤
We loved our stay in Germany recently, so friendly and lots to see
When did Swindon become a city? I must have missed that moment!
You are right !! it never did and never will... they tried but FAILED !!!
😅
Lol, I thought that and the average wages are not £38,000 per month either!
They don't know what they are talking about, he even says "the best city in the UK, this large town..." Duh!
Swindon one up from JAYWICK FFS
My top 5 as a young person: Manchester, Bristol, London, Edinburgh, Birmingham
Manchester no1.... 👍
Birmingham’s a shit hole 😂
@@11989matthew no it's not it's alot better now they are spending money on it, Manchester is a shit hole it's like going back 50 years
Agree with your list, but I would replace Manchester with Cardiff (I'm not Welsh!)
You're right 😁😁
I know a lot of these, have lived in some, my all time favourite town in the world actually is Penzance in Cornwall
Oh, yes...and mine. All along that coast is absolutely beautiful.
People from st Ives call Penzance the drug town of the area lol
@@bendover2865 not when I lived there.
@@helenndow1101 you’re obviously not from there then are you love
@@bendover2865 no, but I lived.there for about 10 years in the nineteenth and seen or heard nothing about drugs, unlike where I live now, in Manchester.
Beverley, East Yorkshire. A beautiful Georgian market town with a race course and a medieval minster.
Yes it's lovely
I liked Beverly when I visited a few years ago. But it's dangerously overshadowed by its ugly nemesis Hull.
Also one of the best pubs in England. The White Horse aka Nelly's!
Bloody hell life has really changed in the last 2 years. Enough said.
Wonderful piss take , woverhampton and Swindon 😀
I went to Edinburgh it rained all day long. Visited Oxford, Cambridge.
Hello 👋
I Live in LONDON & VERY VERY HAPPY, THANK YOU!!!
I am coming soon to London too
Really Informative.John
We all know that Slough is better than Swindon, David Brent proved that when the Swindon lot transferred after their office was shut.
Slough is a bad place to live 😂😂😂
Thanks for the informative video. Like all Brits, I'm hoping for that lotto jackpot, in order to finance my dream move to Wolverhampton or Swindon...
When I saw Swindon as the No. 1 choice, all I could do was laugh...with Jon Richardson!!!
Hello 👋 Michele
❤ thank you I love this video
Oxford is a good place to live. I live in London but I’v visited before and it’s actually a nice place
Loved it!
10. Plymouth
9. Salisbury
8. Glasgow
7. Cambridge
Wolverhampton 🤣🤣🤣 I used to live just outside Wolverhampton, and worked in it, and it's an absolute dive!!!!
Yeah this man’s trying to get people faded
Yup went there last year after several decades -I was shocked!
Swindon I never laughed so hard :-)
Yeah
How about Chatham Kent ? I spent some valuable time there and found good and best place. Any views ?
Wolverhampton??? oh my days!!!
Wolverhampton isn't that bad it's up and coming it's bad days has gone blame London for the rest of the country cities can only be of you given money money don't grow on trees 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Mistake cities can only be nice when given money money don't grow on trees😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
@@darrensmith2734 But it isn't that great to be on this list mate!!
You can't blame London in why Wolverhampton don't have money money money. I'm glad that Wolverhampton bad days are gone but it still isn't nice but hey at least Wolves are playing well in the Premier League - that is a plus factor lol
Glasgow!? Wolverhampton!? Has this guy ever been to these places? Or anywhere in Great Britain?
Exactly😂
He put Swindon at number 1. I think the answer is no, he hasn’t
Have you ever been to any of these places ?
@@shoehaven1 I've been to most the towns of the UK as a delivery driver. I've lived in a few different towns and had girlfriends in others, visited relatives in Wales and Yorkshire. I've been around
@@DavidlLewJones So you have based you experience on loading bays…🤣🤣
Despite Swindon long being home to one of my favorite bands, XTC, a true challenge of living there would be dealing on a daily basis with all the nerve-racking roundabouts, even mini-roundabouts nestled within larger round-abouts.
One of mine too! ❤️
There are some respectable streets in Swindon
What about Wales? Wales has the lowest crime rate of all of the UK and is a beautiful country with lovely people and I live there and can tell you that I've been around the UK and Wales is a wonderful place to live.
Have stayed in Mumbles.... Really nice
@@gj91471 yes it's a lovely place, mumbles is called the Welsh Riviera and has a wonderful castle and a really nice beach and very nice pubs and shops too, I live about 25 miles from there and it's one of my favourite and places for getting away for a day, thanks for your reply Graham.👍🏴
Tide's Reach Guest House..... 5 out of 5....perfect
@@gj91471 there's alot of very good guest houses there and I myself would highly recommend anyone to have a stay at mumbles as it's such a nice place.
Wales has the lowest crime rate because it has a smaller population than Scotland and a significantly smaller population than England. It's better to look at crime rates from a percentage.
After moving to Scotland from England with my parents a few years ago, it has been a struggle to settle in, more so for personal reasons, but I live about an hour away from Edinburgh and after going a few times it's my favourite city in the UK currently. There's plenty of attractions and shops and the place has such a charm about it.
It is a lovely city
Hear hear. Live West of Glasgow, been to Glasgow a few times, can't love it.
Went to Edinburgh the 1st time during COVID restrictions. Was amazing even with that caveat in place.
Literally one of the best cities in the UK.
Moved from Scotland to England but can’t beat Edinburgh. Great during the day and amazing at night for a good drink
Am fae Leith and it's shite
@@Spac3Potat0 😂😂😂
Beautiful country ❤🎉😂
Wolverhampton and Swindon? Put the meth pipe down and show someone sensible your script before committing it to the internet. They may help you correct your grammatical errors too.
😂😂👍🏼
It may correct there grammar the people who never visited Wolverhampton we nice people not arrogant 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁also very funnny
Nice video tnx for sharing
Are you joking 😅 Swindon 😂😂 what about Winchester 🤦♀️
Thanks for the laugh at the end. Swindon is surrounded by beautiful places but that's it. Everyone leaves swindon to shop as the town centre is desolate with only shops like the Pound Shop and Primark - could have been better but the Council don't like making improvements.
My top four places Oxford Cambridge Glasgow Edinburgh all have great architecture and vibrent areas to stay and nice green parks
Oxford and Cambridge
We lived in Plymouth 50yrs ago. Argyll and Sutherlanders were billeted there. Best place on earth to live at the time. Not to mention the safest. We lived in a house called 'Sungates'.
It’s great that York has the wall to protect life and property. Presumably the main concern is time-travelling Vikings?
👏👏Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Izmir-TURKEY. 👋
Completely disagree, Oxford one of the most expensive places to live unless you are wealthy. Perhaps share the data with us.
Similarly Edinburgh. Not a clue where they got the accommodation figure from but to get somewhere decent you're almost at London prices
I noticed they didn’t mention the average Salary for Oxford. Just an Aussie observer here who stumbled on this video. Good to read the comments.
I live in Oxford and it’s fucking extortionate on the rent. Looking at £1400 a month RENT for a two bed in a shitty part of the city - don’t believe this guy, it’s all bollocks. I’ll be swift getting the fuck out of here soon
Swindon lol lol
I live in East Yorkshire and it's the best!
No idea where you got these towns from but Swindon as No.1 your having a wind up!!!!!!
I really thought this video was a joke when I saw Swindon’s name on the screen. How come somebody decided to do that and get away without any kind of penalty? 😂
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.
Nice video.
Thanks for Sharing.
Cheltenham Spa is Wonderful and neighbouring City of Gloucester. Is on The up and up!!!!!
Is this meant to be funny ‘cos I fell off the sofa laughing when Aberdeen was in there, then Plymouth and Wolverhampton, comedy gold, and finally I died laughing at Swindon No.1 🤣
When the Swindon lot came into the Office, with Neil at the helm 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely Deluded, This is a message to who ever as made this video 🤔
Did you just name Swindon as the best place to live in UK? :D :D I just wanna know, what you smoke
😂 😂 😂
🤣🤣🤣
You can make a video and put your city at first😂
Plymouth?
Hey 👋 Maidstone Kent is good place to live in??
I’m from Wolverhampton id recommend Heath town, whitmore reans, all saints,bilston, willenhall, Blakenhall, parkfield and eastfield and bushbury
Hello, please can you shed more light on why you would recommend Willenhall as a good place to live in Wolverhampton?
