Welling — is it a good place to live?

Welling offers streets that measure quieter than the capital's average — the trade-off is schools, where most local state schools await a current inspection — the score can only count rated ones.

Overall: toward the bottom of London's range 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 real park is longer than is typical for the city; and culture and leisure, which score toward the bottom of the London range.

The nearest station is Welling (National Rail), a short walk from the area's centre.
