Wallington — is it a good place to live?

Wallington is a mixed picture against the rest of London — the trade-off is schools, where most local state schools await a current inspection — the score can only count rated ones.

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: green space, where the walk to a real park is longer than is typical for the city; and culture and leisure, which score toward the bottom of the London range. 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 Wallington (National Rail), a short walk from the area's centre.
