Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 146 violent offences were recorded (36% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street.

The nearest stop (Belmont Park) is 144m away. The median property price is £535,750, with a slight decline of 7% over five years. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014.
