Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner have ranked in the top 20 best areas to retire in Britain, according to Legal & General.
The study ranked every British constituency against six core pillars for good quality of later life: housing, health, community, finances, nature, and access to amenities.
While much of London performed poorly in terms of financial security, Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner came 14th on the list with a score of 68 out of 100.
Topping the list was Chesham and Amersham, followed by Beaconsfield in second place, and Dorking and Horley in third place.
Lorna Shah, managing director of retail retirement at Legal & General, said: “This research gives us a more complete picture of what shapes a happy later life. It’s not just about one factor – it’s the combination of health, social connections, environment, and financial security that all play a part in retirement wellbeing.
“Financial security, in particular, is an enabler for many of the other measures, giving people the freedom to choose where and how they want to live in later life. Our research has shown that having enough set aside can greatly improve retirement wellbeing and a guaranteed income, through products such as an annuity, can lessen anxiety and create a greater sense of certainty. It’s the difference between simply getting by and really enjoying this next stage of life.”
