London is certainly a level above every other city in the UK, but as a graduate of Bristol University it's definitely one of the few places in the UK I'd consider living outside London, and seems like it has a lot going for it for the startup crowd. A lot of creative businesses, good culture, youthful, energetic, but still big enough to be interesting and close enough to London for when it's needed.

The University of Bristol is very keen on entrepreneurship too, especially the Engineering + CompSci departments - they're responsible for getting me interested in the whole thing in the first place!
