London has been named the world’s best city for the eleventh consecutive year, according to Resonance Consultancy’s global rankings. Evaluating 34 factors, including livability, culture, nightlife, safety, green spaces, business growth, and tourism, London tops the charts for livability, lovability, and prosperity. The city’s blend of history, economic power, and cultural influence attracts students, entrepreneurs, visitors, and major companies worldwide. International spending reached nearly $22 billion in 2024, boosted by a softer pound. Post-pandemic recovery, world-class universities, and a growing tech and climate sector reinforce its global appeal, leaving London unmatched and raising the question of who might challenge its crown.
