A NEWLY-published survey reveals most children in Lewisham and Greenwich think they are healthy places to live in.
Around 88 per cent of 10 to 14-year-olds in the boroughs claim their health is good, as do 84 per cent of 14 to 19-year-olds.
Elsewhere the survey reveals both boroughs are ranked among the worst 10 in London for infant mortality rates with six deaths every 1,000 live births.
The survey was carried out by the London Health Commission, as part of its first Health in London report Commission chairman Jennette Arnold said: "Agencies in London now have unparalleled opportunities to make a real difference to young people's wellbeing.
"I urge them to consider this report's findings as they develop their plans."
