Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 320 violent offences were recorded (60% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 89m away. The median property price is £290,000, with strong growth of 32% over five years. Based on 12 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.
