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: traffic: its streets measure busier than most of London's, though this varies sharply street to street; and everyday shops and services within a walk, which are fewer or less varied here.
The nearest station is Streatham (London Overground), a short walk from the area's centre.

On schools evidence, the overall picture is more modest, with a bright spot: pupils at local primaries make faster progress than at most London primary schools. Green space scores strongly for London, which helps the family case.
