To search for the UK’s ‘Zen capital’, Supplement Place drew up a list of the cities with the highest populations and used ONS data to find how well these cities ranked for quality of life factors- happiness, life satisfaction, and anxiety- and how these figures had changed over the past five years.

They used Google Ad Keyword Planner to find the annual number of Google searches for ‘green spaces’, ‘meditation’, ‘parks near me’, and ‘yoga’, and divided these numbers by the populations of each city to give a proportionate score.
