Amsterdam named ‘best city to live a happy life’ with London snubbed as ‘unhealthy'

Other cities listed in the lifestyle index include Vienna, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Fukuoka, Berlin, Barcelona, and Vancouver.

However, when it came to the UK’s ability to provide a “happy and healthy lifestyle”, the nation’s metropolises did not fare well.

London ranked in the bottom 10 cities, with limited sunshine and long working hours.

What’s more, the capital ranked at the “world’s seventh unhealthiest city”.

Though the capital holds the second-highest number of outdoor activities on offer, its 1,633 sunshine hours made these hard to enjoy.
