Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 261 violent offences were recorded (45% 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. The nearest transport stop is 68m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £230,000, with strong growth of 32% over five years. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014.
