How Life Works Here
Franklin Square is located in Hammersmith and Fulham, near Kensington, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 322 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 125 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 median property price is £800,000. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Social housing makes up a significant share of properties, with larger households suggesting families. There are 25 schools within 2 km, 24 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 8 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 193m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (sea flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 47 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
