Barking and Dagenham has been named London’s least “vibrant” area, according to a new study.
The east London borough was given the lowest score in the capital following a ‘vibrant economy’ index.
The list measures places across England with the best balance between economic growth, social equality, health and happiness.
The list, compiled by accountants Grant Thornton, analyses 52 factors including economic output, earnings, crime statistics and obesity levels.
Barking and Dagenham measured at 92.09 on the index with the next lowest Newham at 96.46.
Waltham Forest, Enfield, Lewisham, Redbridge, Hackney and Haringey all scored less than 100, according to the rankings.
Leafy Richmond upon Thames was named London’s most ‘vibrant’ area and was third in England overall behind Cambridge and Oxford.
It is not the first time Barking and Dagenham has been highlighted as one of the most unappealing parts of the capital.
Last month, the borough was named the least prosperous in Londonaccording to the UK Prosperity Index, which studied education, health and well-being alongside the local economy.
