How Life Works Here
Herbert Road is located in Greenwich, near London, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 641 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 374 violent offences were recorded (58% of total). 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 St Joseph's (place of worship, 22m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 88m away. The median property price is £270,000, though prices have fallen 18% over five years. Based on 117 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 3 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 365m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
