The top spot went to London, with a special mention going to Bethnal Green[/caption]
London took out first place, with the capital being named as “proud, multicultural and never boring”.
Dalston and Bethnal Green in the capital’s East End were highlighted as particularly great areas due to their bars, cafes and “trendy eateries”.
The travel site acknowledged some of the downsides to living in London, such as the cost of living, bad traffic and tourists flocking to see attractions.
Portsmouth, Hampshire, was praised for its “lively student scene and tons of history”, receiving second place.
Nomads Nation wrote: “Portsmouth packs a whole lot of history into a relatively compact city.
“Set on Portsea Island, the city is home to a historic cathedral, medieval sea defences, and row upon row of heritage houses where – once upon a time – there was a pub on almost every corner.”
Third place was handed to Brighton, which was labelled as the “place to go for LGBT culture, veganism and beachside living”.
It added: “For a cheaper alternative to Brighton centre itself, Hove is a quieter option; there are still plenty of pubs and restaurants to be found here though.”
In fourth place was Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, which was celebrated for “hefty helping of local culture”.
Oxford was listed in fifth place for being “home to one of the most famous universities in the world”.
Hyped up for its “rough around the edges appeal”, Manchester was awarded sixth place.
Seventh place went to Bristol while Exeter, Devon, was listed as eighth for those chasing “laid-back city life a stone’s throw from outdoorsy pursuits”.
Belfast received a ninth place placement while Cardiff, the capital of Wales, was named number 10.
In discussing their findings Nomads Nation said: “There are a surprising amount of amazing places to base yourself in the United Kingdom, from cities close to the countryside, to coastal bastions of culture, there’s so much to choose from here.
“You might want to go for the liberal living of Brighton, the history of beautiful Edinburgh, or maybe you’ve always wanted to live in London (we don’t blame you), maybe you want to try out a few; whichever you choose, you are in for a special time.”

It is time to listen to Christmas Pain In Christmas Town
![](https://assets2.rockpapershotgun.com/the-chowder-man-christmas-pain-in-christmas-town.jpg/BROK/resize/1920x1920%3E/format/jpg/quality/80/the-chowder-man-christmas-pain-in-christmas-town.jpg)
As I lay in bed at 6am today, crying, I knew: it’s time. They say Christmas is a season for cheer and goodwill towards all but that’s not an observation, it’s an imploration. Christmas can be difficult for so many reasons, and that is why we must offer people cheer and goodwill. So truly, genuinely I find great comfort and joy in Christmas Pain In Christmas Town, a novelty Christmas song by a fictional washed-up musician from 90s infobahn detective game Hypnospace Outlaw. May this music video bring you cheer too.
Goat Simulator 3 gets festive with holiday cosmetics and new ways to terrorise the town

The Mandatory Holiday Update for Goat Simulator 3 was to be expected, as plenty of games gear up for the festive season. Coffee Stain North has unveiled new, holiday-themed cosmetics, and prepared new ways for Pilgor the Goat and Tony Shark to unleash havoc this Christmas.
This update adds a multitude of new items, some of which have unique effects. First, there’s seasonal cosmetics to adorn your goat with, including an entire Elf outfit, Menorah Horns for those celebrating Hannukah, and the Lucia Crown. There’s also a Christmas Sweater, because everyone — even goats — need an ugly Christmas jumper for the season.
Then there’s the Santa Hat, because this would be far from a mandatory holiday update without one. This Santa Hat, however, causes snow to fall around your character, meaning you can spread a little festive cheer (and cold snow) wherever you go in San Angora.

Usually when you think of the best Sims 4 builds, you tend to imagine beautiful, hand-crafted houses with stunning gardens and gorgeous interiors. Sims creator Mita Sims decided to take a different approach, adopting the aesthetic of run-down, abandoned apartment blocks that you might usually associate more with games like Fallout 4 and Nier Automata than with the upbeat EA life sim.
