Default which hedge to plant?

Hi
I would really appreciate some help in deciding what type of hedge to
plant as a boundary hedge between us and the neighbours.

The hedge needs to be as dense as possible to give us some privacy from
an extremely nosey and troublesome neighbour. We intend to grow the
hedge to a height of around 6ft and it must act as a dense screen. Maybe
prickly?
A Laurel hedge is a main contender at the moment because of its nice big
leaves and i assume it will fill out fast.

We are looking to buy online and plant as soon as possible.

Thanks
Matt


I'd think that Hawthorn would be good anywhere in the U.K.. Midland
Hawthorn is also good for heart conditions. You may not have one yet,
but if you are lucky enough to get old, the Hawthorn may come in handy.
