London men are the unhappiest in the United Kingdom, a new study has revealed.

The researched, conducted by the Movember Foundation, showed that almost half of men in London men feel like crying once a month - more than anywhere else in the country.

The nationwide poll found 49 per cent of men in London feel like crying at least once a month, compared to just 36 per cent of their Midlands counterparts.

The study also highlighted the challenge British men feel to be a "real man", with 51 per cent of respondents admitting they felt pressured to be successful.

As well as its annual moustache growing campaign, which raises money for men's health causes, Movember 2015 is also encouraging men to look after their mental and physical health.

Sarah Coghlan, country director for Movember UK, said the foundation is "challenging masculine stereotypes in the hope it will encourage men to feel comfortable talking."

She said: "Men and boys face unbelievable pressure to live up an archaic stereotype of what it means to be a man, and in the process they neglect their own mental and physical health."
