Oxford has been named in the top 10 most exciting cities in a poll of 18 to 30-year-olds. 

London came out top in the poll of 1,000 young people aged 18 to 30, who were asked where they would most like to move. 

Manchester came in second place followed by Edinburgh and Brighton. Oxford placed tenth. Cambridge did not feature on the list.

Half of those asked by the researchers said they were itching to relocate. Nearly a third - 32 per cent - said they did not feel they could reach their desired goals by remaining where they currently live. A quarter wanted to move to find their 'purpose' in life and a similar number said their hometown was stifling their creativity. 

The top 10 most exciting UK cities to live in, according to 18 to 30-year-olds:

  1. London
  2. Manchester
  3. Edinburgh
  4. Brighton and Hove
  5. Liverpool
  6. Bristol
  7. Glasgow
  8. York
  9. Leeds
  10. Oxford

 

The research was commissioned by Reebok, which has partnered with MTV to launch a talent series of videos titled My City, My Sound.

Josephine Walters, Reebok's senior director said: "Where we live can have substantial impact to how we are as a person.

"The inspiration we draw from the city or place we live in is almost subconscious and an essential part of our choices - there may come a time where we might outgrow somewhere and it is time to find something new in order for us to grow as a person, and we feel the results show just this."
