Market Harborough has topped yet another national study into the best places to live in Britain.
The award comes as part of The Times’ annual ‘Best Places to Live Guide’. Day five of the week-long series looked into the best market towns in Britain – which saw Market Harborough claim number one spot out of 20 similarly sized towns.
Best place to live
The study combines data and statistics such as crime rates, house prices and school performance with the local knowledge and expertise of The Times writers to compile the definitive top home locations.
The Times highlighted Market Harborough’s high standard of schools, independent local shops, community spirit, and commutability to London as reasons to it awarded the town the leading position.
The guide noted “Market Harborough is a popular town with commuters. There are several outstanding-Ofsted primary schools, with nearby private options at Oakham and Uppingham. The Grand Union canal runs through the town and nearby Foxton – one of the longest runs of locks in the country.”
