Overall: below the London average on the six things we score
vs the rest of London
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.
Further trade-offs: the independent scene, which sits just below the London norm; village feel, which this area does not score as having; and traffic: its streets measure busier than most of London's, though this varies sharply street to street. For families weighing the independent route, there is also a private school in or close to the area — shown for context, never scored.
