According to a new study, people in Salford are dramatically more romantic than in other cities in the UK.

The research conducted by CasinoReviews analyses all 73 UK cities based on the number of times each place Googles a romantic-related keyword.

The google searches include 79 keywords, such as “Wife valentines ideas”, “Husband valentines ideas”, “Romantic gift ideas”, “Valentine’s Date ideas” and so on.

The number of searches for each term was then added to give a total of searches for each city. This was then compared to the population to calculate how many searches per 100,000 people.

Scraping the top five is Salford, with a total average 5,896 romantic monthly searches overall. The searches averaged at 4,149 per 100,000 residents.

Salford’s top search terms are “wedding dress”, receiving 523 searches per month on average and “flowers delivered”, with an average 334 monthly searches.

Croydon is crowned as the most romantic city this Valentine’s day, with an average total 10,345 searches per month and 4,763 per 100,000 residents.

Placing in second is Sutton, generating a total average 2,991 searches per month and an average 4,382 searches per 100,000 residents. Ranking in third place is Blackpool, with a total average 3,766 monthly searches and 4,382 per 100,000 residents.

On the other hand, the least romantic city, according to the data, is Aberdeen. Aberdeen has an average of 2,915 monthly searches per 100,000 residents and a total 5,128. Following in second is Oxford and Cambridge.

Oxford’s top search terms are “wedding dress” with 195 searches and “flowers delivered”, with 146 searches per month on average.
