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

Guides for EC2M
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.
Median sale price
£1,657,000
EC2M had too few sales to report on its own, so this is across 4 sales in the wider EC2M district between September 2022 and March 2025.
By property type
1 kind 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 Fashion Retail Academy · 12 within 2.0 km 400 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.
