Study reveals that Brighton is the easiest city to make new friends and the flirtiest! Brighton is known for many things: its famous pier, vibrant gay scene and music artists including The Kooks and Fatboy Slim. But a new piece of research has revealed Brighton to be the easiest city in the UK to make new friends… and the flirtiest!

The study was conducted by CitySocialising, a social networking and events company which aims to kick start the social lives of young, busy professionals. The research involved 15,000 people in cities across the UK.

The research revealed:

• Brighton was voted the easiest city to make new friends. Manchester was 2nd and Glasgow was 3rd. London was last.

• Brighton was the flirtiest city in the UK with 64% of those questioned admitting to flirting with a friend’s partner. Manchester was 2nd with 47% and Leeds came last with 11%

• People in Manchester had more friends than anyone else with 55% of those questioned saying they had 10 or more friends, followed by Brighton with 42% and Leeds with 25%.

• 57% of those questioned found people in Brighton very friendly.

• 62% of those questioned said the best way to meet people in Brighton was at work or in a bar and the worst place was in a restaurant.

• In terms of best places to meet new friends, 65% of people questioned said Brighton’s bars and clubs.

• Specifically, Brighton’s The Honey club, OSHO bar and The World’s End pub were considered the best place to meet new friends.

Sanchita Saha, founder of CitySocialising and queen of the UK’s social scene said:
“Brighton is clearly one of the top places to be to meet friendly people. It’s vibrant scene and friendly atmosphere provides ample opportunity to expand your circle of friends and kick start your social life. Love is definitely in the air as people in Brighton were more likely to flirt with their friend’s partner than any other city in the UK so my advise is if you’re with someone at the moment, hang on to them!”
