The 10 best and worst places to live in the UK

Edinburgh has just been named the best place to live in the UK, thanks to its low crime rate, cheap energy bills and disposable household income of £20,083 a year.

Which is the worst place to live in the UK? It’s Bradford, according to uSwitch’s Quality Of Life index.

The Yorkshire city won the not-so-coveted title for having the lowest gross disposable household incomes in the UK (£13,654 a year).

The cities were rated on the basis of salaries, shopping and fuel costs, working hours and life expectancy.

Ann Robinson, a spokesperson from uSwitch, said: “Edinburgh has long been a vibrant city with striking architecture and a world famous festival, all surrounded by stunning scenery.

“Now it’s official – Edinburgh is the best place to live in the UK.”
