Why move to Worcester?
Worcester has been ranked the UK’s happiest city after residents scored it highly on safety, how welcoming it is and how much its people trust each other.

The imposing Anglican Worcester Cathedral has stood in the city since 1084. As well as providing architecture lovers with fascinating cloisters and tombs to explore, the Cathedral also hosts several community events, including some excellent classical music concerts.
The loved UK sauce, Lea & Perrins’ Traditional Worcestershire Sauce can be found here in Worcester. Originally sold in 1837 from a dispensing chemist’s in Broad Street, Worcester; it is currently produced in the Midland Road factory in Worcester.
Situated close to the beautiful Malvern Hills and the River Severn, Worcester is within a green belt region that extends into the wider surrounding counties which are dotted with picture-postcard villages and rural hamlets.
Although a commute into London is possible, many of Worcester’s inhabitants commute to larger cities such as Birmingham or Coventry for work or find employment closer to home in the many manufacturing plants, educational campuses and shops located throughout the city.
This fantastic city has an awful lot going for it. Location, travel, history, scenery and with its economic growth being among the strongest in England, it’s all good news for people thinking about relocating to the area.
