The allure of living and working abroad is a strong one for many of us. Living in the bustle of a South American metropolis, in a skyscraper-dominated US city, or in an up-and-coming area of a developing nation is a dream that pulls many people away from the UK.
But in a new list of the 40 'coolest neighbourhoods in the UK', areas much closer to home feature. This includes some vibrant parts of Liverpool, Glasgow and London.
Compiled by Time Out Magazine, the list - in its sixth year running - draws on the views of more than 12,000 people who considered the neighbourhoods in their hometowns which are the places people want to be.
Then, using the expertise of city editors and local experts, a narrowed-down list was created that was finally ranked by factors including community and social ventures, access to open and green space, and thriving street life.
It is also thought that the post-pandemic rise in digital nomadism is creating a big rise in new urban areas that are attracting residents and visitors alike.
Take a look below at the UK areas that feature in the list.
