VOTE: Which is Britain’s best city?

Despite being a relatively small nation, the UK has plenty of great cities across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Whether you are a resident, enjoy a city break or have somewhere you long to visit, which British city do you think is the best? Vote in our poll.

A total of 76 urban areas have been granted city status by the monarch, with eight new cities named by the late Queen Elizabeth II as part of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year. 

London is arguably the most high-profile city in the UK, attracting some 41.3 percent of all international visitors to Britain in 2022. But England’s capital city has seen growing competition from across the UK.

Both Birmingham and Manchester have seen regeneration in recent decades which allows them to showcase their industrial heritage alongside modern living.

Yorkshire also boasts some of the UK’s best Northern cities with York, Leeds and Sheffield all in close proximity. Elsewhere in England, Liverpool, Bristol, Nottingham and Newcastle are all known for their culture, music and arts scenes.

Meanwhile, England’s famous university cities, Oxford and Cambridge, are among the most picturesque cities, full of beautiful architecture, history and green spaces.

Cambridge was also ranked as the UK’s best city among readers of Condé Nast Traveller, last October, knocking London off the top spot.

Scottish cities Edinburgh and Glasgow, Northern Ireland’s capital Belfast and the Welsh capital of Cardiff all have plenty to offer and showcase the differences between the UK’s devolved nations.
