Greenford — is it a good place to live?

Greenford is a mixed picture against the rest of London — the trade-off is schools, where most local state schools await a current inspection — the score can only count rated ones.

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; village feel, which this area does not score as having; 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 rather than 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.
