Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Only 2 transactions recorded. The £537,500 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Median price £537,500 based on only 2 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
How Life Works Here
The Square is located in Richmond upon Thames, Greater London. Crime is a significant concern, with 1073 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. 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 an ATM at 15m. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (The Quadrant Richmond) is 74m away. The median property price is £537,500. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. This is not a family-friendly location. Despite schools being within 2 km, the high crime, noise and transport-oriented environment make it unsuitable for raising children. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and retirees. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. This is a transport hub, not a residential neighbourhood. Functionality scores 56/100 (excellent access and transport), but liveability scores only 50/100. The extreme footfall, crime, and urban intensity make it unsuitable for settled living. It may work for short-term rentals, corporate lets, or professionals who prioritise location above all else — but for most people looking for a home, this is not the right street.
