Well, depends on how close to the coast you class as actually living by the coast I suppose. I live in Ireland which is even smaller than Britain and when I lived in the city I was still only maybe a 40 minute drive from the coast but I wouldn't class that as living by the coast, now I live in a coastal village and am a 2 minute walk from the beach so I class that as coast.
