West bridgford named in top towns and small cities list.
West Bridgford has been named as one of the top towns and small cities in the UK in a recent survey, the only town in the East Midlands to have received the accolade.
The list compiled by Savills estate agents highlighted that the vibrant town was ranked 13th in the top 50 places across the country, with its prime location and excellent range of facilities, entertainment, sports and hospitality venues.
Survey data was taken from the most recent census and the Land Registry to create the list based on the socio-economic, educational and health profile of residents living in the area as well as house prices relative to peers in the same region.
Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Leader Cllr Neil Clarke said: “West Bridgford is a fantastic town with plenty to offer our residents and visitors alike and we’re delighted this is reflected in its high-ranking on Savills top towns and small cities list.
“To be named the only top town or city in the East Midlands in the survey is testament to our commitment to investing in our communities in Rushcliffe wherever we can.
“It is a family-friendly town with brilliant transport links, high performing schools and beautiful parks with tennis courts, skate parks and children’s play areas.

Redsmith London dry gin wins World Spirit Competition top prize
If you want to find the best gins in the World there is no better place to go than the San Francisco World Spirit Competition.
Thanks to Redsmith Distillery, you don’t need to travel that far to sample a World class London dry gin.
Redsmith Distillery’s London dry gin has been awarded the top accolade from over 2000 spirits being judged across the globe.
Our Head distiller Wayne says
” It’s our first time entering this prestigious Global competition. With a European award already, we knew we had a great gin and to come away from the World spirit competition with the top award (Double Gold) is just fantastic.
Our customers tell us that it is great gin and to have that confirmed by a World class judging panel is just brilliant.
The decision to create our own hand crafted still, Jenny, has really been worth it – as she produces an outstandingly fine and distinct spirit. “
All our new batch Redsmith London dry gin bottles will proudly show our double gold award.
Ruddy Fine Nottinghamshire.
When Cheryl and I met and sat chatting over gin cocktails while out on our first date, we could never have envisaged where that mutual appreciation of this iconic spirit would take us just a few short years later.
Our Ruddy Fine Gin came from a fascination in the flavours and methods involved in creating this wonderful spirit and a desire to make something truly amazing, which we could hopefully pass on to our children.
Tinkering with steeping a few locally sourced botanicals soon progressed through to a little 5 litre copper still in our kitchen and now we proudly develop our range of gins close to home with the help of our beautiful still, ‘Marion’. Based in the little village of Ruddington in the heart of the Nottinghamshire countryside, the Ruddy Fine Distillery is the very essence of a small artisan producer. All our gin flavours are still meticulously developed in our kitchen at home, before being taken down the road to our Distillery to be cooked up in batches of just 350 bottles at a time. As you can imagine, this involves a great deal of sampling, so being at home really saves on taxi fares!!
Since those early days, we have gone on to win multiple Great Taste Awards, International Awards with entries from over 30 countries Worldwide, get shortlisted in The Grocer magazine for the Best New Alcohol Product of 2021 and become the first Guest Gin in history in the Houses of Parliament. Not bad for a little village Distillery!
