Résumé détaillé

Rightmove's Happy at Home Index reveals the happiest and gloomiest locations to live in across Britain, according to their own residents.

A London suburb has been crowned the happiest place to live in Britain, reclaiming the top spot after previously triumphing in 2023.

The borough's residents were most likely to say they were happy with where they lived in Rightmove's Happy at Home Index.

This put it at the top of the property website's 221-strong list which we reveal in full below, from the best to the worst.

Among the ten least happy towns were six boroughs of Greater London along with towns in the West Midlands, East and South East.

More than 24,000 people across Britain took part in the survey, rating their area on everything from access to nature and green spaces to local services, amenities and employment opportunities.

Winner: Richmond upon Thames has been crowned the happiest place to live in Britain

Residents in Richmond upon Thames, an affluent area in the south-west of the capital, ranked the area number one thanks to its parks, shops and restaurants, job opportunities, local services and the fact people took pride in the area.

Councillor Nancy Baldwin, Mayor of Richmond upon Thames, said: 'This recognition is especially meaningful because residents highlighted their pride in the local area, beautiful parks and green spaces, and the local services they rely on every day.'

Speaking to This is Money, Nikki Slater, a director at estate agents N&N Richmond, said: 'It's beautiful, sociable and somewhat improbable. Richmond combines extraordinary natural beauty - a beguiling sweep of The Thames & the splendour of Richmond Park - with all the advantages of having London on its doorstep.
