Queensbury — is it a good place to live?

Queensbury pairs walkable green space most comparable areas can't match with state schools where pupils progress faster than in most of the capital — the trade-off is culture and leisure, which score toward the bottom of the London range.

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: everyday shops and services within a walk, which are fewer or less varied here; and the independent scene, which runs thinner here than across the city.
