All these places are good to live in because they have lots of houses and flats on offer, lots of jobs, good shopping centres. The only bad things are that they are in-land so they have no beach, and they are very polluted, build up areas :) xoxo

Well i used to live in Manchester and i loved it! The people are really friendly, things tend not to be very expensive and there are lots of jobs and housing. Though there are lots of nice places in Manchester, there are equally as bad places.

I live near London now and it's a very cultural, diverse city. Lots of jobs and work, housing is usually very expensive and if you don't live in the actual city it can be quite expensive to travel to. Again the same as Manchester, although it has some very nice places, it has some very dirty and unclean places as well.

London

Cons: expensive, crowded, high crime rate, very anonymous, smoggy, lots of rude people who are always in a rush, overrun with tourists

Pros: good transport system both internally and to elsewhere, lots of attractions, always something happening and things to do, the uk is very london centric so you'll be more in the centre of things

The UK is England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland altogether,

The Places you have named are all in England,

Are you one of those people who only calls England, the UK?

Well for a start they are all in England - and that's pretty damn rough.

Manchester
* A big city
* Expensive but not too expensive
* Lots of culture
* A lot of bars/ pubs/ clubs and restaurants
* Very good transport system (and generally quite cheap)

Birmingham
* ... erm... I've lived there for 3 years, I should be able to name one thing! Erm... I can't actually think of anything it has that Manchester doesn't. Apart from Cadbury's world. But then Manchester has the McVities factory and that smells ruddy gorgeous

Oxford
* Very beautiful
* A lot of culture
* Good for pedestrians (but a lot of it is one way, so bad for drivers)
* Closish to London

Don't know enough about London to comment. I've leave that to the Londoners.

I'm a Manc at uni in Brum but moving to London when I finish... I'm choosing to go to London because I know Manchester inside out and want a change, and I don't feel that Birmingham is big enough for me. I'm a big city person... it depends what you want.

LOL

london is now dangerous
