Sunny weather isn’t a guarantee in the UK in the same way as Portugal or Spain, but among the history, culture, and modern conveniences, it’s still an attractive place to live. London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and plenty other cities offer vibrant job markets – particularly in finance, tech, and creative industries.
The UK is also home to some of the world’s top universities, and free healthcare is accessible to residents via the NHS. The cost of living in major cities may be very high, but you’re not short of beautiful countryside if you’d prefer more rural living.
