The UK Blend is an independent publication based in the United Kingdom. We turn trusted public data into clear, mobile-friendly visual stories about British life.
What we cover
Demographics, the cost of living, work, energy, history, language, food, and the small cultural patterns that make Britain Britain. Every piece on this site begins as a post on our Instagram (@the_uk_blend) and is then expanded here with the sources and workings shown.
Where the data comes from
Our recurring sources include the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the National Health Service (NHS), Gov.uk, the National Grid, and the Bank of England, alongside academic institutions such as the University of Nottingham and the University of Manchester. Each article lists its specific sources at the bottom.
Editorial standards
Every number we publish links back to a primary source. We try to write in plain English, avoid sensational framing, and correct mistakes openly when we get them wrong.
