We all hope that we will live and long and happy life, but how long that life will be is another question entirely.
But now there’s a way to find out what the average life expectancy age is in your local area.
A new map created by The Health Foundation shows the number of years that a person can expect to live in good health across the country.
Using Office for National Statistics Geography Open Data, the map lets you see the average expectancy age for males and females separately.
The map even shows the average age for the South East London areas of Bexley, Bromley, Dartford, Greenwich and Lewisham.
In fact, London is one of the regions that have the highest life expectancy at birth than elsewhere in the UK.
