Default What would be your ideal UK lifestyle

If you had to stay and live in the UK, where and how would you choose to live.

I'd go for one of two choices. Either one of the big houses around Richmond/Kingston on Thames that backs on to the River Thames, or a Penthouse in Central London. Hyde Park would be nice. Not sure how I would fund this though, in fact if I could, I would possibly be back there, as I'd assume if you had that kind of money, you would be able to go and come as you please.

Just curious as to what peoples Ideal UK lifestyle would be.... money no object of course.

A couple of acres down in Devon or Cornwall would suit me nicely although I would be just as happy at home in Cambridgeshire. I would love a flat in London but would never be able to afford it, just as long as I could visit, I would be in clover.

A Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall existence in Dorset would suit me fine.

Anywhere along the Pembrokeshire Coast around the St. Davids area. In a hobby farm with sea views.........then I remember the cold..........

That's the problem that I keep hitting ...

Quite a few places that are very nice, but the weather lets it down.

I would hate to live in London though, not sure that Manchester would float my boat either.
