Nine out of the top 10 areas for the highest life expectancy after retirement in Britain are in the commuter belt outside London, resulting in a “longevity ring” around the capital.
Kingston upon Thames tops the list, followed by Hemel Hempstead, Guildford, Slough, St Albans, Redhill, Bromley, Harrow and Watford.
The average life expectancy for pensioners in these London suburbs is over 89 years. Highest-ever: Life expectancy for pensioners after retirement is highest in the London suburbs. ¶
Meanwhile the ten postal areas of the country with the lowest life expectancy in retirement are all found in the north of England and Scotland, the research by financial advisors Willis Towers Watson found.

Experts suggest the high life expectancy around London is not because of geography but economic and lifestyle factors, with commuters enjoying the higher wages of London plus a “comfortable and healthy working life”. The only postcode area in the top 10 which is not in the south east of England is Harrogate in North Yorkshire, which ranks sixth.
Where do London’s geniuses live?
Stephen Caine, senior mortality consultant at Willis Towers Watson said: “There are distinct differences in life expectancy in different areas of the country but in reality it is not the geography itself that is important, it’s the economic and lifestyle factors that are indicative of residents in different areas of the country.
“What this research highlights is that pensioners living in the outer ring surrounding London are the most likely to have had well-paid jobs and to have enjoyed a relatively comfortable and healthy working life which, alongside other factors, are strongly linked to longer lifespans.”
Pensioners in Sunderland are likely to die at a younger average age than anywhere else in the country, while Liverpool, Hull, Motherwell and Wigan are also in the bottom five.
