Retire to a well-connected centre where everything you need is within reach
Whichever city you choose to live in, getting around town is rarely a problem. Between trams, underground trains, taxis and the extensive networks of buses, you can get anywhere you need to without a fuss. Some cities also have an evening transport system, which means you might never need to worry about driving again.
As well as getting around on local transport, retiring to a city centre means you'll be better connected to every other part of the country, too. You'll be close to the airport when you jet off on holiday, and you can easily take a cross-country train to visit your friends and family.
On top of that, you'll be living in a desirable location with good connections, which means it'll be even easier for your family to come and visit you, as well.
Find the city that's right for you
Inner city retirement doesn't always mean traffic jams and crowded trains. Cities come in all shapes and sizes, from the bustle of places like London and Birmingham to the steadier pace of areas like Cardiff, Bath and Oxford.
Even within the larger, busier cities, there are plenty of suburban neighbourhoods that feel as if they're actually small towns or villages. You can live on a quiet street around friendly faces and small businesses, but you'll also have the entirety of a cosmopolitan centre just a short journey away, whenever you want it.
If you like the sound of reliable transport, exciting events and some of the best arts and culture in the country, start your search for an inner city retirement home today.
