Bristol is officially the best City to live in

Bristol beat 63 cities to become the Sunday Times top choice in the ‘best places to live in Britain’ list, topping rivals London, Birmingham and Manchester.

Bristol benefits from its reputation as an environmentally friendly city, with a top class university and a buoyant property market and was praised by the judges for its ‘buzzy’ culture and beautiful countryside. One judge quoted ‘From Brunel to Banksy, via a great choice of housing, a revitalised harbour and excellent transport links, Bristol’s got the lot.’
