Best city in the world?

Durham you can escape the bloated bottom feeders. Is great when they all go home to Surrey over the summer.

I'm probably being harsh on Durham. It's a curious place, what with the aforementioned public school students braying loudly, yet still proudly hosting the streets of brass festival. Which showcases remnants of working class communities and solidarity in the form of the miners bands.

Not that the red trousered oiks care about all that. Pass the pimms, tally ho ho!

Liverpool. Obviously.

 

[Azzurri]

Probably Bangkok as well. Polluted sweat fest

But it’s so fun.

I fear some posters on here may have booked a ticket to Durham at this point — before reading the description in the next sentence.

I think British cities are mostly underrepresented here because most of us live in the UK so we’re used to it so there is no novelty factor.

I have to say, Manchester has really impressed me with its development over the last few years. It feels vibrant, has so much going on and is becoming a real powerhouse for tech.

But historic British cities like York, Durham and even Chester on a smaller scale have real charms. Chester has really developed a quirky and interesting bar and restaurant scene recently, particularly around Watergate Street.

Xxxxxxxx's fine, the sun shines most the time
And the feeling is "lay back"
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' about
Making my way back
Well I'm Yyyyyyyyy born and raised
But nowadays
I'm lost between two shores
Xxxxxxxx's fine, but it ain't home
Yyyyyyyyy's home
But it ain't mine no more

Good to see no one has listed Bath, Cambridge, Oxford or Durham.

Absolutely infested with passive aggressive red trouser wearing public school turds and sloans. Pretty enough places, but dear god, the insufferable folk who ruin them are something else.

How old are you? London in my 20s and 30s was amazing. But changed rapidly once I had a kid and became broke

I'm 33 and single, so pretty much the exact right circumstance for me to properly enjoy the city.

Benidorm.

Name me another place in the world you can start your day with a full English (the way god intended) and end it with some questionable looking bird pulling household appliences out of her minge?

Birkenhead

Birkenhead

Never been mate.

 

[Mr. White]

Who or what do you blame for the decline of UK cities?

Extreme, far-left politics and policies.

Glory years for me. Which part? I lived off brick lane for 15 years up until about 2011. Got way to essexy by then for my liking
