Belfast Named Best City In UK To Be Single

Belfast has been named the best city in the UK to be single.

The survey from Bateaux London looked at a number of factors before ranking a number of UK cities from best to worst in each category.

The list was compiled by looking at the average cost of being single, as well as the proportion of the population who are currently unattached and the percentage of those aged between 20 and 30.

Each city was then ranked from best to worst for each category, with points awarded based on their position. This was then turned into a percentage rating.

Overall, Belfast was found to be the place to go if you're single, with a percentage rating of 67.15%.

The city's average cost of different aspects of single life included:

• Meal out: £40

• Pint of beer: £4

• Coffee: £2.33

• Gym membership: £23.77

• Cinema ticket: £6.75

• Rent for one-bed in city centre: £520.

Together, these combined to give Belfast the top standing in the table. At the other end of the list, the worst city to be single in the UK is London (29.2%). Despite a high salary average of £34,967, the cost of a coffee, a meal out, a cinema ticket, and a pint is above the rest of the UK, while the cost of rent for a one-bed in the city centre is £1,682.
