There's lots of nice cities in England. Most are just nice to visit but are not places you would want to live, such as York or Lincoln.
I am not really a city person, but actually feel at home in Sheffield. If I had to and could afford to, Nether Edge or a similar area of Sheffield, would be lovely. |

"Which is the best city to live in England what you think guys "
I've only ever lived in one English city, Bristol.
That was where I moved to in 2012.
I'd also thought about Manchester or Newcastle, because I like those places.
I knew nothing about Bristol before I moved here, and I gotta say it's a very chilled out, quirky place to live.

"According to PwC this year, it's Oxford.
Reading is a close second.
Yorkshire is most improved.
"
They obviously dont class Doncaster as part of Yorkshire then  |

I think it depends a lot in your age and what is important to you. At say 20 you'd want a great nightlife so London, Liverpool, Newcastle but at say 40 you'd be more inclined to Norwich, Bristol, Oxford |

Forget the lists.
How much money can you make working there, how close can you live to work, and how much cash will you end up in your pocket at the end of paying for rent.
I'm sure London is fantastic if youre a millionaire. But if you have an hour commute in traffic and end up with 10% of your wages to live on, its just gonna keep grinding you down.
If you can get your rent down to half your wages, or even better your weekly cost of living down to half your wages, and you can get to and from work in 5 mins, you are gonna be happier, and that place is going to be best for you.
Saying that, places like that dont exist too much in England, but its what to aim for. |

Lots of good cities for different reasons. London is unparalleled but it’s not for everyone. Personally I like Edinburgh for its capital city significant feel, manageable size and quirkiness. Northern England is a great place to live for the fact it has several big cities with their own identities - Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield and Newcastle all offer something different. And smaller cities like York and Bath are lovely historic centres. A great country but a shame society seems to be going down hill a bit! |
