The capital of England has got 2023 off to a flying start by being named the
best city in the world.
London has topped the charts of World's Best Cities rankings, beating Paris and
New York into second and third place respectively.
The 11million-person city was particularly praised for its amazing restaurants,
being a hit on social media as the 'hashtag capital of the world', and having a
huge amount of luxury properties that attract the mega-rich.
The rankings, which are compiled by real estate and tourism consultancy firm
Resonance, look at six different categories: place, product, programming,
people, prosperity and promotion.

They are more focused on financial and business factors, such as the number of
large tech firms in a given city, than other more holiday centred rankings.

London comes out top in the Promotions category, with its residents and visitors
producing the most Insta hashtags, Facebook check-ins and TripAdvisor reviews.
It seems Londoners are online story telling machines, promoting the city to the
rest of the world and chronicling many of the great things it has to offer.
Foremost among these are exceptional restaurants.

"If all those newcomers can’t cook at home, they came to the right place,
especially these days, when the culinary industry is being reborn after dozens
of the city’s most iconic restaurants shuttered over the pandemic," it is argued
in the rankings.
"The city with the fourth-best restaurants on the planet is buzzing again with
big-name openings like Dubai-based izakaya-style restaurant Kinoya in Harrods.
"There are hundreds of other rooms soon joining this increasingly daring
culinary destination serving—and welcoming the world once more."

As much as the fortunes of the City and the ultra-wealthy aren't a daily concern
for most residents, both are doing well for themselves in London, according to
the rankings.
"Despite much-warranted hand-wringing about the flight of talent and capital due
to the pall of Brexit (and the follow-up specter of an airborne pandemic),
London is hanging in just fine, relying on a dipping currency to attract
investment and, of course, previously priced-out tourists," it argues.
"And new residents. New wealthy residents who can now afford to check off a big
item on the multi-millionaire bucket list: property in the best city on the
planet.
"An astonishing 61 luxury London properties—each worth $11.5 million (£9.5m) or
more—were sold in the first six months of 2022, which was the highest number in
a decade."
Paris was knocked into the second spot (

Whether this, or the fact the UK has the lowest corporation tax in the G7, are
good things for the average Londoner without a few million in their pocket isn't
completely clear.
What will be welcomed however is the fact Paris, New York, Tokyo (4th) and Dubai
(5th) have been bested by London.
