How Life Works Here
Temple Mews is located in Canterbury, Kent. Crime is a significant concern, with 1898 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 608 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). 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 links nearby. The nearest stop (Canterbury East Railway Station) is 344m away. The median property price is £485,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 227m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
