They evaluated cities based on three core pillars: <strong>Liveability, Loveability, and Prosperity<\/strong>. A city\u2019s \u2018Liveability\u2019 refers to its walkability, <a href=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/london-parks-gardens-list\/\" rel=\"follow noopener\" target=\"_self\" class=\"shortcode-outbound-link\" data-has-ga=\"true\" data-ga-type=\"click\" data-label=\"https:\/\/secretldn.com\/london-parks-gardens-list\/\" data-action=\"text_cta_1\" data-category=\"click_internal\">parks and nature<\/a> offering, public transport, and air quality. Its \u2018Loveability\u2019 refers to the city\u2019s culture and culinary scenes, attractions, and social media engagement. And a city\u2019s \u2018Prosperity\u2019 is referring to its economic value, educational attainment, and airport connectivity).<\/p>\n<p> <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-180411 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/shutterstock_570381841-1.jpg\" alt=\"London Trafalgar Square lion and Big Ben tower at background\" width=\"1300\" height=\"863\"  \/>Credit: Shutterstock \u2013 Photo by lunamarina London has been named the best city in the world\u2026 again <\/p>\n<p>Having carefully combined all of the data, statistics, and research (some of which came from a landmark survey that received 21,000 responses); the numbers were thoroughly crunched, and the facts were confirmed. <strong>London is the best city in the world<\/strong>, and has officially reigned supreme for eleven years running.
