Leamington Spa is one of the happiest places to live in Great Britain.

That is according to Rightmove's 2026 'Happy at Home' index, which measured how people across Britain feel about where they live.

In the index, Leamington was named the second happiest place to live in the West Midlands, and the 25th happiest in the country as a whole.

Lichfield took the top spot in the region, while Richmond-upon-Thames was named happiest nationally, retaining the top title from 2025's results.

The results were based on a survey of 24,000 participants across the country, asking them to rate their area's access to nature, shops, amenities and jobs, on a scale of one to 10.

Some 221 locations across Britain were considered.

Scores of seven to ten were considered 'happy', one to four were deemed unhappy, and five or six were neither happy nor unhappy.

Using these metrics, the survey as a whole found that four in five people were happy where they lived.

Introducing their findings, Rightmove said: "Each year we ask thousands of people across Great Britain how they feel about where they live.

"Feeling happy at home isn't just about the property.

"It's also about the wider area, the community, and how close you are to the things which matter most."
