Here's 15 reasons why Glasgow is the best city in Britain not only for Glaswegians, but for tourists, workers, and just about anyone
We all know Glasgow is the greatest city in the United Kingdom - but today we wanted to put together this to prove just why Glasgow is the best city in Britain.
Many people argue that Glasgow should be the capital of Scotland - today we're arguing that Glasgow should be the capital city of Britain, perhaps Europe, or the world even! (Maybe not that far).
As much as we love Glasgow - we as Glaswegians love to moan about it - so much so that it's easy to forget what we love so much about it in the first place.
You are likely to get a much warmer welcome in Glasgow than any other city in the UK we'd argue. Many of us will remember of course Glasgow as a cultural hub, dating back to the days when we were the first British city to be named as European City of Culture in 1990.
Here are 12 reasons why Glasgow is the best city in Britain.

9. The Clockwork Orange
The Glasgow Subway is the third oldest subway system in the world - and while it may be far, far less extensive than London's - the Clockwork Orange is beautiful in its simplicity. Any tourist can figure it out, two lines, going in a circle - miss your stop? Don't worry it'll loop back around eventually. Not to mention the introduction of driverless subway carriages - very futuristic, very cool. Most other cities only have a pretty poor tram system (looking at you Edinburgh) - how could they possibly compete?
10. Phenomenal stadiums
Hampden Park, Ibrox, Celtic Park, and Firhill and more - we love football here in Glasgow - and there's plenty of space to accommodate some truly wonderful games.
11. Amazing architecture
In Glasgow we boast some of the most impressive and imposing architecture outside of London. We also boast an incredibly unique style of buildings - made possible by the likes of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander 'Greek' Thomson.
12. Celebrated communities
Regardless of where you stay in Glasgow - you'll find a supportive and close-knit community. No one needs to go lonely in Glasgow with support networks set across communities like Govanhill, Dennistoun, Finnieston, and many more. (Pic: Govanhill Go)
