In their Thursday edition the Evening Standard reported that "The RSPH ranked 146 of London’s high streets based on their impact on the public’s health and wellbeing. Healthiest: 

1 Muswell Hill, Haringey

2 Hornchurch, Havering

3 Pinner, Harrow

4 St John’s Wood, City of Westminster

5 Temple Fortune, Barnet

6 Hampstead, Camden

7 Kingsbury, Brent/Harrow

8 Whetstone, Barnet

9 Teddington, Richmond upon Thames

10 Beckenham, Bromley

For the first time, it included empty shops as a measure of a negative influence on health, recognising the impact of the declining fortunes of traditional retailers. Off-licences were also counted for the first time — while the presence of cafes and vaping shops were seen as a benefit. 

The findings showed how long-established affluent areas, such St John’s Wood, Pinner and Hampstead, had “built-in” health benefits on their high streets."
