Living in York

York is an incredible place to live and work, blending centuries of Viking and medieval history with a lively, modern cultural scene. It’s super walkable and built for cycling, with traffic-free historic streets and green paths that make getting around easy. Plus it has fast train links to London, Edinburgh and Manchester. It’s a warm, human-scaled city where you can step out of the lab and straight into amazing pubs, world-class food, and historic charm.
