Parsons Green — is it a good place to live?

Parsons Green pairs enough everyday places within a walk to score among the stronger in London with state schools where pupils progress faster than in most of the capital — the trade-off is green space, where everyday green is close at hand but the nearest major park is a longer trip — a real difference, though a bounded one.

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