An interactive map which rates every street in London on how healthy a place it is has been launched.
The Healthy Streets Index uses aspects such as air and noise pollution, pavement space and number of trees to judge every road.
It has been created by experts from University College London (UCL), Healthy Streets and Tranquil City.
Its creators said it would allow Londoners to make informed decisions about where we want to live .
Ten indicators known to have the biggest impact on health and wellbeing have been used to rate every street for the map and dataset.
How healthy is YOUR neighbourhood? Map shows how London s streets rank for air and noise pollution, street design, walkability and trees with Park Lane near the bottom of the list
Researchers from UCL, Healthy Streets and Tranquil City rated each of London s streets against 10 key factors
They found great variability between boroughs, with some of the worst streets in the most affluent areas
Park Lane, for example, rated low due to its unhealthily high levels of traffic, air pollution and ambient noise
The team say that the tool could be used to help developers improve equity and liveability across the capital
