Locatio London
About

One honest read on every London neighbourhood.

The information to choose where to live is scattered, inconsistent, or trying to sell you something.

Why this exists

Choosing where to live in London is one of the biggest decisions you'll make — and the information to do it well is scattered, inconsistent, or trying to sell you something. Estate agents describe every area as "vibrant." Forums give you one person's opinion. The official data exists, but it's spread across a dozen government websites in formats nobody enjoys reading.

We faced exactly that problem, and built this to fix that: one place that scores every London neighbourhood on the things that actually shape daily life, using official data, applied the same way everywhere — so you can compare areas honestly instead of taking anyone's word for it.

What we do

We assess over 300 London neighbourhoods across six criteria — from the independent high street to green space, schools, and how quiet the streets are likely to be — and turn them into clear, comparable scores. Every score is relative to the rest of London and built on public, official data. You can explore areas from the top down, or set what matters most to you and let the tool re-rank the whole city around your priorities.

We score places, not property listings. We're not an estate agent, we don't sell homes, and no area can pay to rank higher. That independence is the point — it's what lets us tell you an area's weak spots as clearly as its strengths.

Who it's for

Homebuyers weighing up where to put down roots, and the professionals who do this for a living — relocation consultants and buying agents who need a fast, consistent, defensible read on an unfamiliar part of the city. If you're a professional and want to use this with clients, get in touch.

Who's behind it

Built by Mark and Nic, after spending months trying to answer this question for ourselves and finding no good tool for it.  The more we built, the more questions we wanted to answer and the more convinced we were that there would be people just like us out there trying to find their 'best' neighbourhood too.
