How Life Works Here
West Road is located in Havering, near Romford, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 410 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 192 violent offences were recorded (47% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 232m away. The median property price is £287,000. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with larger households suggesting families. There are 2 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
