London has a lot of positive attributes, from its great transport links that put others to shame to pubs on every corner and down every alleyway.

However, the capital also has negative aspects, including being a place to live and work, according to The Telegraph.

The outlet created a list of some of the best and worst places to live and work in the UK and London was among the bottom 10.

Plymouth was crowned the best followed by Bristol and Southampton but the likes of Manchester and Birmingham joined London in the lower ranks.

Key aspects to work out the rankings included measuring economic performance and quality of life by consultancy firm PwC.

Discussing the report, Rachel Taylor, of PwC, said: “Raising prosperity across the UK is needed more than ever as we continue to see growing inequality in housing, jobs and education.

“There is an increasing imbalance within and between neighbourhoods, which is being driven by disparities in access to quality education, jobs and housing.

“This is felt not only across different regions but also between people living within the same postcodes in cities.”

London among the worst places to live and work in the UK

London was ranked negatively for a number of reasons but the top was the region's long waiting list for council houses.

As PwC found the capital had the longest waiting list in any city in the county "with more than 300,000 people awaiting accommodation."

London's wanting list is followed closely behind cities "Manchester at 100,000, Newcastle at approximately 25,000 and Birmingham with a similar number on its waiting list."

Discussing the research, Carl Sizer, of PwC, said: “The new Government is moving at pace setting out a legislative agenda that starts to pave the way for how we are going to turn the dial on key issues holding back the UK’s economic growth, such as reform of the planning regime, improving work readiness of graduates and school leavers and investment in key national infrastructure and skills.

“However, this is against a backdrop of a challenging fiscal environment, so successful delivery will hinge on a level of close collaboration and innovation between national, local and regional governments, businesses, academia and the third sector that has historically rarely been seen.”
