Wolverhampton (home to England’s friendliest people!)

Ailsa Black

If you’ve never been to this city just next door to Birmingham, you haven’t met the friendliest people in England!

Wulfrunians (that’s one to help you win at Scrabble) are fed up of people portraying their city as some urban ugly place. In fact, it’s home to many beautiful medieval streets, outside of the main shopping areas.

Classical composer Elgar was a huge fan of Wolverhampton Wanderers, and would cycle 40 miles from his home in the Malverns, to watch them play. He even composed the first football anthem – no doubt a bit more demure than ‘It’s coming home, it’s coming home, football’s coming home!
