Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 253 violent offences were recorded (51% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area 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 (Morpeth Street) is 191m away. The median property price is £96,500, with moderate growth of 8% over five years. Based on 35 transactions recorded since 2014.

Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 264m away.

This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river and sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision.
