How Life Works Here
Hardman Road is located in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 3956 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Cromwell Road Bus Station) is 118m away. The median property price is £630,000, though prices have fallen 52% over five years. Based on 19 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 16 schools within 2 km, 16 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 6 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 132m 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 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 46 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.
