The city offers the advantages of living in a small town but it also has a lot of oppurtunities to do a lot of things! The weather is amazing for UK as there are a lot sunny days that you can have walks in the parks! The main park next to West gate towers is beautiful and is really nice to walk there.

Canterbury also has some nice shops, cafes, cinemas and Marlow theatre, which offer the chance to enjoy your self in the town!

How much does it cost to live in Canterbury?

The average living costs are ok!

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Canterbury? Is there any advice you can give?

There are many properties around Cantebury offering a wide range of houses. The only problem is if you want a very short term accommodation as most of the landlords look for something that is longer than three months. This is understandable but sometimes you can only stay for less than that period and you cannot afford to live in a hotel.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

There are so many restaurants around Canterbury so that you can try a lot of different cuisines from chinese, indian food to italian, greek food and of course english cuisine. I like a lot all of these cuisines so i cannot say i have a favourite one.
