Hounslow borough's place in the league table of good places to live has been revealed.

Property consultant Garrington has produced a list ranking 1,372 cities, towns and villages in the country based on how nice they could be to live in following the coronavirus pandemic.

Each area has been judged based on factors including their natural beauty, quality of life and architectural beauty.

Natural beauty: Each location was scored for its proximity to open water, National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Architectural beauty: Marks were awarded for the number of listed and period homes, as well as modern ultra-energy-efficient homes.

Quality of life: Each area was ranked for its air quality, crime figures and how many farm shops there are within a three-mile radius.

The ranking was given for the whole of Hounslow and doesn't break down in individual areas.

But the borough came in at overall rank: 355th out of 1,372, 587th for natural beauty, 738th for quality of life and 290th for architectural beauty.

The average price of a home in the borough came in at £650,000, the 29th most expensive place to live.
