How Life Works Here
South Street is located in City of Westminster, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 1799 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with bus and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 237m away. The median property price is £5,387,500, with exceptional growth of 113% over five years. Based on 22 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. 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 94m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
