Best Place to Live in ENgland??

London and the Isle of Wight! Google them!

Good luck

London is where its at there is everything there,no matter what your tastes are.Other good places are Bristol,Brighton,,Oxford,Edinburgh and Manchester.Dont go to Portsmouth or the Isle of Man-they are both dumps

Hull or Middlesboro

Another idea would be Belfast Northern Ireland, it's now one of the best UK cities to live in, There was a lot of troulble there but now it's safer than most of the UK and everyone is very friendly. It has everything the main land UK has and more, a weekend trip is cheap and will give you an idea of how things work there, I live in London for two years and I must admit Belfast is 10 times safer and friendlier, I like the UK mainland but it can be a dangerous place with so much violent crime these days, try something different, you may like it.

heya!
I would definitely say up north somewhere like, manchester, leeds, york, they are all much friendlier and cheaper for rent etc although they all still have great job oppurtunities, restaurants,nightlife, and culture.good luck!

Id say Brighton, its London by the sea. Its a fascinating city. Though it can be quite pricey for buying houses, renting is ok.

Up north is a lot cheaper and with this so are the salaries. The south is a great place to be, its easy access to London, which has great connections.

Brighton also has plenty of jobs, have a look on google and see what you think.

All the best

I'd say there is no where in England that meets your criteria.

Cognomen, I do not usually post on the Thorn Tree unless I am asking for advice or doing my best to provide helpful advice to others but I feel compelled to comment on your remark above and other remarks I have read of yours posted on different threads - your response to the person desperately needing help over a rental problem in Canada, for example. Making snide, pointless, bigoted and unhelpful remarks upsets people and wastes the time of those needing a quick answer, particularly those in a tight spot or who are stressed by certain situations. If you feel unable to honour the friendly and helpful ethos of the Thorn Tree I suggest you refrain from posting in the future.

I suggest you mind your own business beck.

If you have no comment to make to the OPs post, don't bother to waste his/her time with comments about what someone else (me) has to say in response to the question asked.

I have given my honest opinion about whether anywhere in England fits the criteria the OP has provided. I don't think anywhere in England does. Obviously I don't have a high opinion of England as a place to live and work. That opinion is based on experience living in the UK. The OP is free to take my opinion into consideration or not as s/he pleases.

You have contributed nothing towards helping the OP make his/her decision on the other hand.
