Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 138 violent offences were recorded (39% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Loft (restaurant, 37m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Tate Gallery) is 192m away. The median property price is £337,500. Based on 10 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 3 schools within 2 km. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
