Tottenham — is it a good place to live?

Tottenham offers local state schools that inspect well — the trade-off is traffic: its streets measure busier than most of London's, though this varies sharply street to street.

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

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: the independent scene, which runs thinner here than across the city; green space, where the walk to a sizeable park runs a little longer than is typical for London — a real difference, but a modest one; and village feel, which this area does not score as having.

The nearest station is White Hart Lane (London Overground), a short walk from the area's centre.

Tottenham Q&A

Is Tottenham a quiet area?

By London standards, no — measured road traffic puts Tottenham's quiet-streets score near the bottom of the citywide spread. Quieter pockets exist; the tool's street-by-street view estimates how each road compares, to help narrow the search.

Is Tottenham good for families?

On schools evidence, it starts well: every local state school inspected so far is rated Good or better. The walk to a sizeable green space runs a little longer than is typical for London — modest in practice, but worth noting for a family move.

Which station serves Tottenham?

The nearest station is White Hart Lane (London Overground), a short walk from the area's centre.
