The image of Wokingham as a quaint English market town oozing charm has been shattered after it was crowned the country’s least British place.

Despite being named the best place to live in the country, a poll by website locallife.co.uk has revealed the town has the least amount of British businesses and attractions of any town in the country.

Staff at the website compiled a list of features which make towns British, including pubs, fish and chip shops, tea rooms, theatres, stately homes, pet shops, Indian restaurants and cricket grounds.
