Advantages: Fantastic facilities, good transport links

Disadvantages: None

Milton Keynes generally gets a bad press and does tend to be the punchline to a lot of jokes but when you actually experience life in Milton keynes you tend to see it in a different light.

Ok we have all heard about the concrete cows but they are just a tiny part of what Milton keynes is. The facilities available are fantastic - I'm sure there aren't many places in the country where you can do all the things below in such a small area:

1. See West end shows at the Theatre
2. Visit a purpose built art gallery
3. Go ice skating
4. Go bowling
5. Go to see a league One football team
6. Go to a multi screen cinema
7. Go Skiing or snow boarding
8. See an Ice Hockey Team
9. See a basket ball Team
10. Go shopping in one of Europe largest shopping centres
11. Go water skiing or wakeboarding
12 Go for walks in vast expanses of parks
13. See outdoor music concerts
14. Numerous swimming pools and other leisure facilities.
15. Numerous places to eat out - from Nando's to Loch Fyne
16. Indoor Sky-diving

All of these are available within the "city" of Milton Keynes. Ok its not all great - as with any large urban area there are some places which are not great and as the town is new from a classical architechture point of view there probably isn't a great deal to interest you, but all that aside the opportunities which are available in the city is fantastic. The transport links are also great with a good train service to London, Northanmpton and further North and the M1 is just on the edge.

OK it will always be a part of the british joke - but who is having the final laugh?

Summary: MK a city which has lots of facilities in a small space
