How the area measures up
Both figures describe the surrounding neighbourhood, not this postcode alone.
Deprivation
Less deprived than average
This neighbourhood sits in the 7th tenth of England, ranked 19,894 of 32,844. Measured across the surrounding LSOA, so it describes the area rather than this postcode alone.
Reported crime
3,030 reports, about 252.5 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.
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.
Median sale price
£948,100
EC2A had too few sales to report on its own, so this is across 229 sales in the wider EC2A district between January 2022 and July 2026.
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 250 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.
