Mossley Hill is one of Liverpool's most affluent and sought-after neighbourhoods, characterised by its stunning Victorian and Edwardian architecture. It offers an appealing combination of elegant homes, excellent schools, and diverse local amenities.

Outstanding schools in Mossley Hill include Liverpool College attended and Our Lady’s Bishop Eton Catholic Primary School. Popular pubs include Rose of Mossley and the Dovedale Towers. Mossley Hill is also home to Penny Lane - the inspiration for the famous Beatles' song written by Paul McCartney.

A Furniturebox spokesperson said: “Mossley Hill is the happiest place to live in Liverpool. All 70 places on the list would have been worthy winners and show why the UK is such a wonderful place to live, loved by visitors from all over the world.

“Most of the locations in the top 70 are not the most affluent in their localities and have access to some affordable housing. The survey shows that the happiest places are not defined by wealth but by the quality of life within them.”
