How Life Works Here
Upper Wimpole Street is located in City of Westminster, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 403 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. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Nad Cell Clinic (clinic, 74m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus and tram links nearby. The nearest stop (Portland Place) is 267m away. The median property price is £1,900,000, with exceptional growth of 218% over five years. Based on 23 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 309m 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. Market indicators suggest an upward 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.
