Deprivation
More deprived than average
This neighbourhood sits in the 4th tenth of England, ranked 12,063 of 32,844. Measured across the surrounding LSOA, so it describes the area rather than this postcode alone.
Reported crime
3,018 reports, about 251.5 a month
Within 500 m of here, in the 12 months to July 2026. The police record each report at a point on or near a street, never at an address.
Guides for EC2A
The whole district, not just this postcode.
What properties sell for
Every registered sale, as recorded by HM Land Registry. Repossessions and transfers to a company are excluded, so these are open-market prices.

By property type
3 kinds sold
Medians over the same period. A type with only one or two sales behind it is a single house, not a market.

Schools Nearest is The Lyceum · 12 within 2.0 km 200 m
State and independent schools. Ofsted replaced its single overall grade with a report card of separate area grades in November 2025, so a school shows either those area grades, an earlier overall grade with its year, or the result of an ungraded inspection - a check that the previous grade still holds rather than a new judgement. Independent schools are inspected by the ISI, which publishes no grades, so they show none.
