What this does and does not know
- No photograph, no floor area, no availability date, no furnished or unfurnished flag. The listing source carries ten fields and none of those is among them. The link on a row goes to the portal, which has the pictures.
- “Listed” is the day it was advertised, not the day you could move in — there is no availability date in the source. If you are working a notice period, ask the agent.
- Flats already let agreed or under offer are not shown. A quarter of what comes back is in that state.
- A listing that does not say how many bedrooms it has is not shown — about one in twelve.
- Under £1,100 a month is dropped. In London that is a room, a typo, or a weekly figure filed as a monthly one.
- A “one-bedroom house” near that floor is usually a room in a shared house.They are still listed, because the genuine one-bedroom cottages are in the same fold of the data. Two- and three-bedroom searches are unaffected.
- Rent and night noise test the flat — its own price, its own coordinates. Every other limit tests the district it sits in, so a district that fails takes its flats with it.
- Only the street and the postcode are shown. The town in the middle of the address is unreliable: one N16 flat arrives labelled Devon.
- The score ranks districts by recorded crime, out of 100, over 2025-09 to 2026-08 and nothing more. The City of London is blank because it has its own force.
- Figures are apportioned from 2021 LSOAs onto postcode districts by output-area population; 38% of London LSOAs straddle more than one.
Cycle to Blackfriars
Road routing from each LSOA's population-weighted centroid to Blackfriars, averaged across this page's LSOAs weighted by population. It is a real route over the street network rather than a straight line, but the speed is OSRM's bicycle profile, which works out at about 12 km/h once turn and gradient penalties are applied — slower than a confident commuter and faster than a nervous one, so treat the ordering as firmer than the absolute number. It takes no account of how pleasant or safe the route is: forty minutes along a dual carriageway and forty minutes through parks are the same figure here.

Train to St Pancras
Typical off-peak public transport duration from the district's primary railway or tube station to St Pancras International (for Eurostar / high-speed trains). Direct Thameslink, Northern or Victoria line services are noted where available.

Train to Gatwick
Typical off-peak rail duration to London Gatwick Airport from this district, over the fastest sensible route: direct Thameslink where there is one, otherwise via London Bridge or Victoria for the Gatwick Express. It is a route time, not a door-to-door time — the walk to the station is the separate figure beside it, and neither includes waiting for the train.

Train to Heathrow
Typical off-peak rail duration to London Heathrow Airport from this district, over the fastest sensible route: the Elizabeth line where it is reachable, otherwise the Piccadilly line. It is a route time, not a door-to-door time — the walk to the station is the separate figure beside it, and neither includes waiting for the train.

Walk to a station
To the nearest tube, rail, DLR, Overground or Elizabeth line station. Bus stops are excluded: almost every London address is minutes from one, so counting them would make this the same number everywhere. Stations just outside the boundary are included, because one is still the nearest station to somebody living inside it. Distances are to the station point rather than to an entrance — Transport for London publishes entrances for only a minority of stations, and measuring some to a gate and the rest to a centre would be less consistent. Measured in a straight line from each LSOA's population-weighted centroid to the nearest one, then averaged across the LSOAs on this page weighted by their populations. Minutes assume 80 metres a minute and a detour factor of 1.3, because streets do not run in straight lines — that factor is the biggest source of error here, and a walk along a railway or a river can be much worse than it.

Walk to a park
To the nearest way in to a public park, garden or playing field — an access point, not the boundary, because a park with railings is a wall for most of its perimeter. Golf courses, cemeteries, religious grounds and allotments are excluded even though Ordnance Survey counts them as greenspace, and so are playgrounds. Measured in a straight line from each LSOA's population-weighted centroid to the nearest one, then averaged across the LSOAs on this page weighted by their populations. Minutes assume 80 metres a minute and a detour factor of 1.3, because streets do not run in straight lines — that factor is the biggest source of error here, and a walk along a railway or a river can be much worse than it. It says a park is there, not whether the gate is open on a Sunday evening.

Walk to a supermarket
To the nearest supermarket — a full food shop, not a convenience store. shop=convenience is excluded on purpose: almost every London address is minutes from one, so counting them would make this the same number everywhere and answer nothing. This comes from OpenStreetMap, which is volunteered: the chains are mapped thoroughly, an independent grocer nobody has added is absent, and one that closed last year may still be present. Measured in a straight line from each LSOA's population-weighted centroid to the nearest one, then averaged across the LSOAs on this page weighted by their populations. Minutes assume 80 metres a minute and a detour factor of 1.3, because streets do not run in straight lines — that factor is the biggest source of error here, and a walk along a railway or a river can be much worse than it.

Walk to a gym
To the nearest gym or fitness centre of any kind, chain or independent. This comes from OpenStreetMap, which is volunteered: the large chains are mapped thoroughly, but a studio nobody has added is missing, and one that closed last year may still be here. Swimming pools and council leisure centres appear only if they are also tagged as a fitness centre.

All recorded crime
Every offence the Metropolitan Police recorded in this postcode district over twelve months, per 1,000 residents. It counts shoplifting and theft from the person alongside burglary, and divides all of it by the people who live here rather than the people who pass through, so districts with a town centre or a big station read higher than the residential streets inside them. The breakdown below is how to tell those apart.

Burglary of a home
Per 1,000 households, because burglary risk scales with dwellings rather than with people. Break-ins to sheds and garages are counted separately and are not in this figure.

European population
The proportion of residents in this postcode district identifying as White in the 2021 Census (table TS021). Carried as a filterable gate rather than a general quality score.

Two-bed, advertised
The interquartile mean of what two-bedroom homes are being advertised at in this postcode district right now, across Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket. Asking rents on new lets, not achieved rents on existing tenancies — which is what somebody searching today is actually quoted, and it runs ahead of the ONS index rather than alongside it. Asked for by district, so it covers exactly this page's area with no radius and no apportionment. The interquartile mean means one absurd penthouse does not move it, but a district answered from a dozen listings is a thinner claim than one answered from two hundred, and the count is shown beside it. Converted from the weekly figure PropertyData publish at 52/12 weeks a month.

Night aircraft noise
The annual average sound level from aircraft between 11pm and 7am, four metres above the ground, modelled on a 10-metre grid. Over London that is Heathrow in the west and London City over the Royal Docks. It is an average across a year, so it does not say that no aeroplane passes over — it says how loud a year of nights adds up to. Nothing is published below 35 dB, so a flat with no reading is a flat under that floor, and that is not the same as a quiet one. The mapping covers civil airports over fifty thousand movements a year, so three London airfields are absent from it entirely: Northolt is military, Biggin Hill is under the threshold and opens at half past six, and the Battersea heliport shuts at eleven so it falls outside these hours anyway.
