Hey there,
I'm a 29 year-old, dual RSA-UK citizen moving back to the UK after living in RSA for the past 5 years or so. I'm planning on moving early next year. One of the challenges I'm facing is deciding where in the UK I want to live. Last time I lived there, I was mostly in the South West around Salisbury, so other than that part, I don't know a huge amount about England to make an informed choice on where to live.
I have Several Criteria that I've come up with:
At this point in time, I have Cardiff, Edinburgh and Glasgow on my lists. London isn't an option due to it being expensive and way too busy/crowded for my liking.
What are these cities like, and are there any other suggestions that I can look into that you may feel a young adult can enjoy living in?

- Diverse Entertainment
There needs to be a variety of things to do on the average Friday night or weekend that doesn't necessarily involve getting smashed. - Accessibility
How easy is it to get around without a car? - Job Possibilities
Looking at unemployment and other statistics to help work out how challenging it may be to find an entry level job - Cost of Living
Can I live off 500GBP or less, at least initially. This includes rent, general expenses, etc. - Sociability
How open are the people and what are the chances of me finding and making friends.
