Edinburgh. Then probably Glasgow, Belfast, Cardiff, Newcastle, Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham or Liverpool.

Cambridge, Oxford, Bath arent really 24 hour cities. I used to like Birmingham, but its gone down hill a lot in recent years.

What if you don't think London is the no.1 city in the UK?

I think Liverpool is the 2nd most important city after London in the UK, it feels more worldly than Manchester or Birmingham and the architecture is better in its centre.

I did say most people not all. If you don't think London is the best city then feel free to say what you think.

Personally I don't really like London.

It's a bit like New York. Nice to see, but don't think I'd ever want to live there.

As a truck driver I've been quite lucky and seen a lot of the UK.
None of the big cities particularly struck me, but I guess I'm a townie at heart

I have to say I quite like Canterbury and it's surrounding areas.

It depends on what criteria you use to judge "best"

I think I'd have to put in an honourable mention for Stirling.
I know it has it's problems, but it's got architecture, history, employment is picking up, facilities are quite good, and it's pretty ideally situated geographically
