Letchworth is the most stylish place to live in Hertfordshire, according to a new survey.

The garden city town was the highest rated location in the county in a list of the 60 most stylish places by online store Furniturebox.

In second place in Herts was Berkhamstead, Aldbury was third, Wheathampstead fourth and Redbourn was fifth

Locations were ranked according to the beauty of the buildings, the stunning scenery, how ‘Instagrammable’ were the best features and their popularity as a filming location.

The hit movie The World's End, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, was filmed in Letchworth.

Furniturebox polled 5,000 people, with panels in each big city and county including Herts.

A Furniturebox spokesperson said: “Letchworth is the most stylish place to live in Hertfordshire.

"All 60 places on the list would have been worthy winners and show why the UK is such a stylish country, loved by artists, film-makers and tourists from all over the world.

“What is interesting is how influential Instagram has become in boosting tourism in many of our top 60, particularly around Herts. It is a massive help for visitor numbers, too, if a popular film or TV show uses a town or village as a location.

“Most of the locations in the top 60 are not the most affluent or fashionable in their localities. It shows that style can be achieved whatever your budget - and that is very true of furniture.”
