How Life Works Here
Norfolk Crescent is located in City of Westminster, near Paddington, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 324 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Thai Zapp at The Heron Pub (restaurant, 50m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Burwood Place) is 110m away. The median property price is £1,775,000, though prices have fallen 31% over five years. Based on 27 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 11 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 4 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 245m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 51 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.
