1Who lives here

About 48,100 residents within 1 km

5Limits

What this page can’t tell you

  • Residents aren't diners. Workers and visitors who live elsewhere aren't counted, and the ages are 2020 estimates.
  • The map misses places, and says nothing about how busy any of them is.
  • Nothing here covers the lease: rent, visibility and parking.

Two checks only you can do: count who walks past at your hours, and test the rent against cautious sales. For census counts, see the ONS local statistics for London.
