A new chapter of conviviality has opened on one of our city’s most iconic streets. The George, a contemporary Victorian-inspired café bar, has flung open its heavy Georgian doors and is welcoming guests with open arms, perfectly poured pints, and just the right amount of cheek.

At The George, the food is hearty, seasonal and made with flair, from pink-centred lamb and indulgent mushroom Wellingtons to Sunday roasts that command reverence. Starters are non-negotiable. Sharing is encouraged, though not enforced.

The Blue, Black and White booked their place among the best teams in Europe and South Africa, after last month's unforgettable Gallagher Premiership title win at

Bath has been named the UK's second relocation capital based on population movements and rental enquiries, as 2.37% more residents moved in
than out during 2023.

Smaller cities are crushing their metropolitan rivals in the battle for new residents, with Carlisle and Bath emerging as Britain's most sought-after relocation spots for 2025.

The cities topped a nationwide study by shipping company Irish Parcels, which tracked population movements across England and Wales using official statistics.

Bath nabbed second spot with 87.93 points, despite attracting slightly more new residents than Carlisle at 2.37%. Our city proved particularly popular with teenagers, with the 15-19 bracket accounting for a massive 25.26% of newcomers - likely heading to
the universities.
