vs the rest of London

Beyond the headline, Stoke Newington also offers a proper local-centre feel that scores among the stronger in London; local state schools that inspect well; and cultural and leisure options beyond the London norm. For families weighing the independent route, there are also several private schools in and around the area — shown for context, never scored.
