How Life Works Here
Harrington Square is located in Camden, near Camden Town, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 1242 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Theft from the person dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Mornington Crescent) is 64m away. The median property price is £592,000. Based on 11 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 19 schools within 2 km, 19 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 6 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 302m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and families. Overall, this street scores 54 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
