Where in England Are You Destined to Live?

About This Quiz

England may be undergoing crazy changes right now, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great place to live. Alas, it's not the cutesy land that Richard Curtis portrays in movies like "Notting Hill" (where a four-bedroom house now costs £3m), but it is something much better: a place where you can find enormous diversity of culture, lifestyle and opportunity, all within a few hours' drive.

Whatever you want, England has it! If you're a driven professional with no kids yet, you can move to East London and live in a diverse area with near-zero unemployment, and enjoy regular weekends or business trips to dozens of cultures within a cheap, quick flight. If you're a growing family who needs more space but still wants access to airports and the city, you can slot in neatly to any of dozens of commuter towns, from the London commuter belt to further-out options like Southampton or Brighton, where the jobs are plentiful and the landscape beautiful.

If you're all about community, blackberry-picking in little country lanes, and visiting cathedrals and stately homes, you can locate yourself in any of thousands of little villages that may not be too friendly to strangers, but will eventually adopt you and protect you like one of their own. If you're an aspiring country bumpkin who only needs a great internet connection to do your job, be aware that proper broadband has been deemed a human right in England, and that means you'll have great access from your faraway cottage. You can head north to the Lakes, Pennines or Broads and get away from everyone else even as you continue to make a living.

All this, and yet it's never very hot, very cold, very humid or very snowy. England truly has it all. Let's find out where you'd belong!
