"Living in London is amazing - we've got many of the country's best restaurants, museums, public parks, live music, theatre and more, all on our doorstep. But being surrounded by all that capital city concrete can also get a bit depressing, especially combined with the extremely high cost of living. Property platform Rightmove has just unveiled its annual Happy at Home Index, revealing the locations in Britain where people are the most - and least - happy, at home."
"To the residents of B&D, we say chin up, because we don't actually agree. Not only is the postcode poised to receive a £200 million investment from the National Lottery Heritage Fund soon, but the area is home to a number of fascinating and beautiful historical attractions, including the Elizabethan Eastbury Manor House, and the Grade II*-listed manor with a medieval moat Valence House Museum."
Rightmove surveyed thousands of residents and published its annual Happy at Home Index, ranking locations by feelings about property, community, local area and proximity to amenities. Barking and Dagenham placed as London’s least happy borough and ranked 220th nationally. Newham and Havering ranked 219th and 218th respectively. Barking and Dagenham is London's most affordable location with an average house price of £335,500 and is set to receive a £200 million National Lottery Heritage Fund investment. Richmond upon Thames emerged as the happiest borough, with average house prices around £760,700, underscoring sharp contrasts across the capital.
