And according to the latest survey by real estate and tourism consultancy Resonance, London has been named as the best city in the world for 2023, beating Paris, New York, Japan, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong and many other popular cities across the globe.

The most recent survey by Resonance ranked 100 cities from across the world based on six different categories – place, product, programming, people, prosperity, and promotion – and came to the results that London tops the list of the best cities in 2023. It comes ahead of popular Asian cities such as Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Mumbai as well as cities such as Paris and New York to grab the top spot.

Not only that, the city attracts the rich, making it one of the most preferred and loved cities across the globe. Resonance’s list focused on factors that were more financial and business-focussed, which also helped it get that top spot. London also attracts huge investments, the report adds, which is another factor that has added to its presence as the top city in the world.
