While her parents worked, Jones and her two sisters, well known literary critic Isobel Armstrong and and actress and writer Ursula Jones, were mostly left to themselves. Her parents started working in an educational conference centre in Essex once they had set up home there. Eventually they settled in a place named Thaxted, Essex in the 1943. They spent brief stints in York, Coniston Water and even back in London, always relocating. Her childhood was rather chaotic and negatively impacted by the war as her family could not stay in one place for very long. She lived in London until war was declared in 1939 where her and her family fled to Wales. She was born to Richard Aneurin and Marjorie Jones who both were teachers by profession. Diana Wynne Jones was an author who was born in London, England, in the 1934.
