Its culture is diverse and generally values punctuality, privacy, politeness and a healthy work-life balance. Lifestyle varies from busy cities to quieter rural communities, with strong public transport in many areas, although car ownership can be useful outside urban centres. Living costs are highest in London and parts of southern England; the Midlands and northern regions are often more affordable. Citizens of the UK and Irish citizens have the automatic right to work. Most other applicants need permission such as a Skilled Worker visa, and eligibility depends on the occupation, approved employer, salary and immigration rules.
