Lady Margaret Walk is located in Crawley, West Sussex. Crime is a significant concern, with 306 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 101 violent offences were recorded (33% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Zavvi (restaurant, 38m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Ifield Parade) is 84m away. The median property price is £292,500.

Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 381m away.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
