How Life Works Here
London Road is located in North West Leicestershire, near Coalville, Leicestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 462 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 232 violent offences were recorded (50% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Peking House (fast food, 101m). The nearest transport stop is 126m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £189,000, with strong growth of 27% over five years. Based on 91 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 306m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
