York has officially been named the best place to live in the UK, according to The Sunday Times’ annual list. Praised for its metropolitan culture and rich architectural history, the 105 sq mile city was also lauded for its thriving tech scene, boasting the fastest internet speeds in Britain. Jobs, green spaces, transport links, schools and community spirit all factor into the newspaper’s decision-making process for the list, which is supported by statistical data and compiled by an expert panel.
In addition to its trendy food scene - which boasts a mix of fine-dining European restaurants and quirky Polish brunch spots - York also happens to be Britain’s first “gigabit city” with the fastest broadband speeds in the UK, making it one of the nation’s most well-connected hubs.
