How Life Works Here
Richmond Road is located in Spelthorne, near Staines-upon-Thames, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 1380 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 528 violent offences were recorded (38% 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 197m away. The median property price is £390,000, though prices have fallen 15% over five years. Based on 37 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 446m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
