Tulse Hill — is it a good place to live?

Tulse Hill is a mixed picture against the rest of London — the trade-off is traffic: its streets measure busier than most of London's, though this varies sharply street to street.

Overall: mid-table for London on the six things we score

Schools

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

There is a further trade-off: 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. For families weighing the independent route, there is also a private school in or close to the area — shown for context, never scored.

The nearest station is Tulse Hill (London Overground), a short walk from the area's centre.
