London among the UK’s friendliest cities
In the list of eight, London ranked seventh, above Brighton and with a total score of 87.83.
Sharing why it was named among UK’s friendliest cities, CN Traveller said: “With a population just short of nine million, London knows a thing or two about people.
“And while the sprawling capital may feel overwhelming at times, look beyond the noise and you will find London neighbourhoods filled with considerate locals.
“Tourists often get swept up in the whimsical atmosphere of royal palaces and afternoon teas, but what makes London truly special is its diversity.
“Whatever your background, whatever your niche passion, there’s a community across this thronging metropolis waiting to take you in as one of their own.
“All you have to do is follow the city’s straightforward, unwritten rules, and you’ll blend right in.”
The UK’s most friendly city on the list was Glasgow, for the second year in a row, earning a score of 97.00 and was described as being the “crème de la crème of the nation’s heartfelt hospitality”.
Other cities that beat out London were the picturesque Cambridge, Bath and Edinburgh, all ranking in the top five spots.
