The best and worst places to live in the UK during the apocalypse have been named
JeffBet has published an interesting study in which it identified the best and worst places to live in the UK if an apocalypse occurs. Whether it's a deadly virus, alien invasion, or another catastrophe, some parts of the country have much higher chances of survival than others.
The study was based on the following factors: availability of food and fresh water, access to medical centers, number of hardware stores, and population density. Express writes about the top safest places to survive a disaster.
JeffBet recognized the Scottish Highlands as the best place to survive the apocalypse. This region has a remote location, low population density (235,540 people in 2018), many hunting trails, and freshwater lakes.
Interestingly, the next two positions in the ranking are also occupied by Scottish regions. They are far enough away from possible centers of danger to remain safe havens for a long time.
Other safe places in the UK include:
- Argyll and Bute (Scotland)
- Orkney Islands (Scotland)
- Fermanagh and Omagh (Northern Ireland)
- Eden (England)
- Gwynedd (Wales)
- South Lake District (England)
- Eilean Siar (Scotland)
- Stirling (Scotland)
- Powys (Wales)
The company considers Lewisham in London to be the worst place to live during the apocalypse. This area has a high population density (more than 303,500 people), which can lead to a shortage of resources and make it difficult to obtain food.
