Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 225 violent offences were recorded (51% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest is about 171m away. The median property price is £3,225,000, with moderate growth of 5% over five years. Based on 22 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 16 schools within 2 km, 16 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 8 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 105m away.

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