As a mix of everything, just about the best place to live in the UK.
Proximity to London, a bustling city life without being too overwhelming, countryside on our doorstep, seaside pleasures abound, open minded people, what's not to like (housing costs and 'greenliness' apart)?
I'm not sure I'm proud of our city, particularly with the increase of homelessness and too many cars but I do love living here and would not want to live anywhere else right now.
