Before the pandemic, urban living, particularly in bustling cities like London, was often viewed as the pinnacle of a sophisticated lifestyle. The allure of dynamic city life, world-class entertainment, culinary excellence, and lucrative career opportunities made urban centres highly sought-after.
However, the pandemic catalysed a significant transformation in work patterns. With the rise of remote work, many employees found themselves no longer tethered to their office locations. This shift allowed people to reconsider their living situations, leading to a surge in popularity for smaller towns and suburban areas across the UK.
To find out where the most envied lifestyles in Britain, Calculator.co.uk conducted a nationwide survey involving 3,000 respondents. The results found where in the UK has the most envied way of living.
A spokesperson for Calculator.co.uk said: “The pandemic has clearly reshaped how Britons choose their living environment.
