as salamou alaykoum wa rahmatoullahi wa barakatouh
As you'll be able to see in my profile, I'm a French converted to Islam. I have travelled to Birmingham last year for the lectures and I've seen how it's different to practice Islam in UK.
Now, I am student in an engineering school and I will have the opportunity to spend one year abroad.
I think it would be a good thing for my din and my family to spend this year in UK, as I've seen how the salafi dawah is present there.
That's why I NEED your advice because there is several cities(unfortunately not Birmingham). Could you make a sort of ranking of these cities, according to the salafi Islam they provide, and after according to the cost of living?

salaam brother, i only know of salafi dawah in 3 of the places you mentioned but thats only from my own personal experience.
Sheffield
Currently has no salafi masjid but one is being bought in a large ethnic area with no other masjid present inshallah so big things are happening in sheffield (im moving there next month inshallah).
Bristol
Has a beautiful masjid called al baseera and a very active salafi community many allah increase them
Cardiff
has a salafi masjid and a salafi bookstore and quite active dawah
Bristol and cardiff are very close geographically and so often meet up and do things together so if you go to cardiff or bristol chances are you can go to both salafi communities.
My advice is go to bristol or cardiff from the list you gave but please note i am a layman with no qualification to speak on these issues.
I am currently living near bristol and its a great community mashallah.
If anyone has details of any salafi dawah in the other areas please do let me know. Jazak allahu khaira
anything good was from allah. All errors were from myself and satan
