Study reveals most welcoming UK cities

Head to Southampton for a friendly welcome

A new survey has found that Southampton is the most welcoming city in the UK.

New research has suggested that the most welcoming city in the UK is Southampton.

The survey by Jurys Inn also indicates that London appears to be the most unwelcoming city in Britain.

Other top friendly destinations include Norwich, Exeter, Brighton and Plymouth, with Glasgow, Bradford, Birmingham and Liverpool joining the capital on the list of unfriendly metropolises.

"With London's spot at the top of the unwelcoming list and the Olympics only two years away, the capital may need some tips from the friendly people of Southampton," a spokesperson for Jurys Inn commented.

The study comes as British Tourism Week - which aims to raise awareness of the UK as a holiday destination among both local and international tourists - gets underway.

Britons looking to take a domestic break in the UK could benefit from buying travel insurance in case delays or other holiday issues - such as lost luggage - occur.

Even if you're travelling within the UK, holiday insurance from Direct Travel Insurance is still a sensible purchase as the expense of dealing with issues on a holiday can be costly in any country.
