A new study has revealed the happiest cities to live in the UK, and Sheffield takes one of the top spots.
That's right, aren't we lucky?
The new study by property-selling company Housebuyers4u reveals where us Brits actually feel happy about their lives and neighbourhoods.
The research looked at over major UK cities to see where people are happiest, and our lovely city of Sheffield came up trumps.
It measured how satisfied residents feel with their lives on a scale of 0 to 10, how safe their neighbourhoods are, and what their surroundings are like in terms of parks, housing, and getting around.
Each city got a score out of 100, with higher numbers meaning happier residents.
Taking the number one spot is York, with people rating their lives an impressive 7.65 out of 10. Number two went to Ipswich, followed by Newcastle Upon Tyne and Oxford at number four.
Rounding up the top five happiest cities is our very own Sheffield, scoring a whopping 91 out of 100 for quality of life, meaning well-maintained parks, reliable transport, and shorter commutes.
We scored a life satisfaction score of 7.66, which means us Sheffield lot seem to be pretty chuffed with the way our lives are going in the Steel City.
Here's a look at the top 10 happiest cities to live in across the UK:
York
Ipswich
Newcastle Upon Tyne
Oxford
Sheffield
Brighton
Edinburgh
Crawley
Cambridge
Swindon
Paul Gibbens, Property Expert at Housebuyers4u, commented on the study: "It might sound funny, but British cities were never designed with happiness in mind. They grew around coal mines, shipping ports, and factories where the priority was getting workers close to their jobs.
"Now we're left with dense urban areas that don't have enough green space or affordable housing. When you're living paycheck to paycheck and can't afford a decent place, and there is nowhere to go to clear your head, either, all that stress just builds up. That's how big a role the city you live in actually plays in your well-being."

The next step? Each shortlisted city will welcome the expert panel of judges and present their proposals, before the eventual winner of UK City of Culture 2029 is announced in early 2027

An all-you-can-eat pizza restaurant with no menu is opening in Sheffield this month
Clementine Hall
A restaurant where you can dive into unlimited pizza is opening in Sheffield very soon.
Like pizza? Then you're going to love this.
Introducing Slice Club, a brand-new restaurant concept that's opening in Sharrow Vale this month.
The idea has been 14 years in the making, and it's unlike anything you'll find in the city.
For £17.50 per person, guests can enjoy all-you-can-eat pizza, with fresh pizzas circulating around the room and served straight to the table.
There’s no menu or individual ordering, you simply take what you fancy, and a light on the table lets the team know when you’d like to pause or have more.

And it doesn't stop there as there’s no fixed sitting time, either. You simply eat until you're full and then the team will let the next group of hungry punters in, so you don't have to feel rushed.
Dips, drinks and desserts are extra and can be ordered separately.
As for the pizzas, there's plenty of vegan and vegetarian options available so nobody has to miss out on the slice action.
Teasing the opening on Instagram, The Slice Club said: "No choosing a pizza and regretting it when someone else’s turns up. We make them. We bring them round. You take what you fancy. Drinks and desserts work normally."
"You’ve watched the window go up. You’ve watched us get the place ready. Now, you can finally book a table. We’re bringing bottomless pizza to Sharrow Vale, with slices coming to you until you decide to hit pause."
Sounds like a pretty good concept if you ask us, and we don't have long to wait as The Slice Club will be opening on Sharrow Vale Road on Friday 30 October.
Bookings are now open, and you can book your table via their website here.
