There are 6 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 326m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
