Stoke-on-Trent has been rated the worst city for its nightlife, food and music according to new research. 

The city was voted as having the 'lowest vibe' overall, coming bottom across six out of nine categories. 

A quirky survey asked 2,000 residents in the UK's largest cities to rate the different "vibes" in their area, such as sense of style, music and food.

Newcastle-upon-Tyne scored highest for seven out of nine categories - including being the most welcoming city and having the best pub scene. 

Newcastle was voted as the most welcoming city whilst London was voted as the least welcoming (SWNS).

Stoke wasn't the only city to score low however, as London was found to be the least welcoming city. 

And Belfast scored poorly for its sports teams and games. 

It was found that 84% enjoy living in or near a city, with the main reasons being because of their good shops, restaurants and there's always something to do.

And 67% would recommend the city they live in to a friend or loved one who is looking for somewhere new to live. 

Given the chance to describe the overall vibe in their city, 41% said it was lively and exciting, while 15% described it as chilled and easy-going. 

Friendly people, clean streets, and green spaces came out as the most popular features a city should have. 

A variety of restaurants, good air quality and a good sense of community also made the list.
