Bowland Yard is located in City of Westminster, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 487 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Theft from the person dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest stop (Knightsbridge Station) is 218m away. The median property price is £1,550,000. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally.
