Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 181 violent offences were recorded (43% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest stop (North Acre) is 278m away. The median property price is £265,000, with a slight decline of 6% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 17 schools within 2 km, 17 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 5 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.

Overall, this street scores 50 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
