How Life Works Here
Denman Street is located in City of Westminster, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 14212 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. Most everyday needs — supermarkets, pharmacies, and cafés — are within a reasonable walk. The closest is Flat Iron (restaurant, 15m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Piccadilly Circus Underground Station) is 106m away. The median property price is £150,000. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 114m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Overall, this street scores 53 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
