The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister in 2005 declared Chorleywood as "the happiest place to live". Our community was named as having the best quality of life against 32481 other neighbourhoods by the Social Disadvantage Research Centre at the Department of Social Policy and Social Research at the University of Oxford.

So what is so good about Chorleywood, and how can we represent this? It's said that a picture paints a thousand worlds, so on this page we hope to build up a picture of what life can be like in and around Chorleywood.

We would be more than happy to accept contributions from others and acknowledge their source, so please get in touch if you can share some of your pictures with us.
