Gunnersbury — is it a good place to live?

Gunnersbury offers walkable green space most comparable areas can't match — the trade-off is the independent scene, which runs thinner here than across the city.

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: traffic: its streets measure busier than most of London's, though this varies sharply street to street; village feel, which this area does not score as having; and culture and leisure, which score toward the bottom of the London range. For families weighing the independent route, there is also a small cluster of private schools in or close to the area — shown for context, never scored.

The nearest station is Gunnersbury (London Underground / London Overground), a short walk from the area's centre.

Gunnersbury Q&A

Is Gunnersbury a quiet area?

By London standards, no — measured road traffic puts Gunnersbury's quiet-streets score near the bottom of the citywide spread. Quieter pockets exist; the tool's street-by-street view estimates how each road compares, to help narrow the search.

Is Gunnersbury good for families?

On schools evidence, it reads positively as far as the ratings go: every local state school inspected so far is rated Good or better. Green space scores strongly for London, which helps the family case.
