Server cities in the UK
Every UK city gives you a UK IP address. The city you pick decides your ping and which local content you see.
Which city should I pick?
For speed: the city closest to you, or let Fastest server choose.
For local content: the city whose news, sports or services you want.
What a UK IP address unlocks
Many UK sites and apps check where you connect from. With a UK IP, they treat you like you're at home.
