Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 290 violent offences were recorded (61% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest stop (Villiers Road) is 225m away. The median property price is £270,000, with strong growth of 22% over five years. Based on 39 transactions recorded since 2014.

There are 20 schools within 2 km, 16 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 198m away.
