Its culture is diverse and generally values punctuality, personal responsibility and polite, direct communication, while workplaces are increasingly international. Lifestyle options range from busy cities such as London, Manchester and Birmingham to coastal towns and rural areas. Living costs vary considerably, with London and the South East usually the most expensive.
