Which one county would you say is the outright poshest in the UK? Let’s not use Greater London here, and I know there will be social diversity in all, but which would you say is the poshest overall?
I’m going with Berkshire, darling.😂

Oxfordshire in my experience.

Oxfordshire in my experience.

Interesting when you consider a few of the Oxford city suburbs are very rough indeed!

How are you defining posh?
Property values? Hunts? Regional accent?

It’s bit vague …

Bobbybobbins · 10/04/2025 23:15

Some good suggestions here. I’m going Surrey or Buckinghamshire.

Least posh: Lincolnshire

Nobody smart lives in Surrey

Kent,we have the best schools,and I live in a bubble where the celebrities live in a road that homes are worth 5-7 million quid. Lovely neighbours,so absolutely not bothered.
They are just people who go to same supermarkets and walk their friendly dogs.

almostbloody50 · 10/04/2025 23:19

Surrey and Hampshire would be on my list.

Yes but you can’t be really posh unless there is somewhere local for your under paid staff to live darling!

I think Merseyside I’d dead posh me

Maybe the Cotswolds/Cheltenham part of Gloucestershire, but definitely not the rest.
