The Henley Management College research took the averages of 'excellent' ratings by residents on areas such as public transport amenities, cleanliness and entertainment. It concluded that 65 per cent of 15-35 year olds living in Leeds rated their city as excellent overall, with Birmingham and Liverpool close behind. London scored high marks for entertainment but scored poorly on other public issues.
