1 Stratford-Upon-Avon Stratford-upon-Avon is a market town and civil parish in Warwickshire, England, on the River Avon, 101 miles north west of London, 22 miles south east of Birmingham, and 8 miles south west of Warwick.

Whilst not a city, as a us citizen, if had had the choice to pick a place to live outside the states, this place would be my choice, love the history and the surroundings and the people were helpful & friendly, even though it's a massive tourism magnet.
