I found this link to a chart of bed/quilt sizes. http://www.generations-quilt-pattern...ilt-sizes.html
You may need a few more inches on the length.
I usually go by the size of pre-cut batting . Hobbs twin size is 72"x90". So many items are different from the USA compare to England are different.

How much overhang do you want on each side?
Is the mattress 'normal' height or one of those 'extremely tall' mattresses?
Also consider the size of the person the quilt will cover. A taller, larger person might need a slightly wider/longer quilt than a smaller/shorter person.

The link above shows the top of a twin mattress to be 39 x 75.

Quiltmaker suggests 68" x 89".
Good Luck!

My GOAL is to ALWAYS ENJOY EVERY STEP of the quilting process....
I tend to make them around 60 x 90 as I like to have enough quilt to get snuggly. When I first made myself a quilt I was horrified when I saw how long it was, but I'd say it's definitely the perfect length for me :-)
Thank you everyone for. Your help.
