Where London ranks in a list of the most attractive cities in Britain right now

Where are all the fittest people in the UK? Lots of them are in London, according to a new survey. With our high population of celebs, models and influencers (and not to mention all the stunning journos in the Time Out office), are we that surprised?

Time Out recently asked Brits in cities across the UK how they experience romance. More than 2,800 people responded to the survey which asked people how often they spot someone they fancy every month. According to the results, the Big Smoke is the fourth most attractive city in the UK. People in the capital see someone they like the look of an average of 12.01 times per month – equal to almost every other day. That’s a lot of sexy people to choose from.

However, when it comes to actually following through with the person you fancy, Londoners didn’t score so well. The capital ranked in last place for frequency of dating, flirting, going on a night out that led to romance and sex. Which begs the question – with so many attractive people but such little action, what are Londoners doing?

Londoners said they go on a date an average of 2.27 times per month, flirt with someone 3.21 times per month and find romance on a night out 1.63 times per month. 

When it comes to having sex, Londoners are bonking less than any city in the UK, with respondents in the capital saying they shag only 4.5 times per month. Compared to the city in first place (which you can read about here), this is quite a paltry result. 

If you’re looking for even more gorgeous people, you’ll need to head to Belfast, Cambridge or Newcastle, which all beat London in the attractiveness ranking. 

If you have found romance, here’s what’s happening this Valentine’s Day in London.
