North London’s Crouch End, in Haringey, was the surprise winner for London. The Times gave the area top honours, citing “A creative edge and friendly neighbours[that] give this lofty northern enclave social capital in the capital”. But how much of a surprise is it really, when we think about it? Crouch End has made countless appearances across Secret London roundups of the best places to go, things to do, and food and drink to devour.
Topping the list for the best places to live in the UK in 2023 is Wadhurst, East Sussex (which is just an hour out of London!). The Times described the south-eastern town thusly: “Rolling hills, glittering night skies and a thriving high street — the Sussex market town has it all”.

Rounding out the top five best places to live in 2023 were Chichester in West Sussex, Cirencester in Gloucestershire, London’s Crouch End, and Donaghadee in Co Down, Northern Ireland.
Are we bitter that a London borough didn’t top the list? Only maybe. But we made it into the top five at least! Not bad when you factor in how important house prices matter in the ranking – and we all ...
... know that London’s house prices are just a tiny bit excessive.
To pick their best places to live, The Times’ ‘expert judges’ went all across the UK, visiting towns and chatting to the locals to make their decision. But they also made sure to check some important data: what the schools are like, and their inspection scores and dates; what transport is like – including links to London and other parts of the country, and green alternatives; the Wi-Fi speeds (an essential consideration!), and house prices in the area.

Additionally, The Times’ list particularly favoured places with thriving high streets, plenty of open spaces, and community spirit. What good is a gorgeous place, after all, if there isn’t also a supportive and friendly vibe?
