The nearest stop (Elephant & Castle / New Kent Road) is 183m away. The median property price is £400,000, with moderate growth of 12% over five years. Based on 37 transactions recorded since 2014.

There are 32 schools within 2 km, 30 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 8 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 414m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from sea sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 47 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
