Greenford — is it a good place to live?

Greenford is a mixed picture against the rest of London — the trade-off is everyday shops and services within a walk, which are fewer or less varied here.

Overall: below the London average on the six things we score

Every band is relative to other London areas — a high band means quieter or greener than most of London, not quiet or green in absolute terms. How we score.

Trade-offs

Further trade-offs: culture and leisure, which score toward the bottom of the London range; and the independent scene, which runs thinner here than across the city. No roadside traffic count sits close enough to the centre of Greenford for a measured quiet-streets score, so that criterion is shown as no local data and left out of the overall figure — which is built from the five measured criteria, not guessed.

The nearest station is South Greenford (National Rail), a long way on foot from the area's centre — the journey to the train is a real part of daily life here.
