According to a recent study, by Best Betting Applications, Londoners are top of the class when it comes to locking lips.

33% of Brits surveyed aged 25-33, admitted to having the best kiss of their life with a Londoner. (Well, we don’t like to brag!)

And almost a quarter (24%) of Brits reported to having their most memorable kiss in the capital, making it by far the UK’s most romantic city.

Manchester secured second place, though a distant one, with just 1 in 10 Brits (9%) admitting their best kiss took place here.

Tying for third are Birmingham and Leeds, each accounting for 5% of unforgettable kisses.
