York

Steeped in history yet at the forefront of 21st Century business, cultural and lifestyle developments, York is among the UK's finer places to work and live. It is a major centre for financial services, and actually one of the one of the most profitable towns in England.

It's well connected to all major UK cities, and it has a fantastic reputation for theatre, comedy, music, film, shopping and sports facilities. So you'll never fall short of things to do. As a more tranquil alternative, the beautiful Vale of York, North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales are just on your doorstep.

There's every opportunity to establish a great lifestyle in York. It has a low crime rate, low household insurance premiums, a wide range of sensibly priced real estate, and outstanding healthcare provision. It also has a strong commitment to education - with performance at GCSE-level above the national average.
