Starlings seem to like city centres. I used to see murmurations frequently over Sheffield's most central street, Fargate, when I lived in the city. They're also a fairly common site here in East Anglia.
Starlings don't seem to collect in huge numbers in cities any more. I remember growing up in Glasgow the sound of them used to be deafening in the wintertime in the city centre.
I live in the Norfolk countryside and have starlings nesting in my roof, grrr! but I have only ever seen them in large numbers like this in city centres. I used to watch them in flight regularly around dusk, from my office window in Norwich and have also seen them overhead in our coastal towns.
