The Welsh capital came out as the clear leader in the league table of Britain’s most sociable locations, closely followed by sociable Leeds and Newcastle.

Cardiff socialites were found to attend over a quarter (28%) more events than the average, with those in Leeds coming a close second with 27%.

However London, viewed by many as the social hub of the UK, was ranked as just the seventh most sociable location.

Interestingly, whilst London scored unremarkably on number of social events attended by users, those in the Capital were found to be by far the most prolific in terms of online interaction, sending more than double the number of messages than the national average.
