Sold prices in TA1: Rightmove
A postcode district is wider than the area. Close Knit doesn't host listings.
Sources
Price per square metre. Rolling 12-month median achieved price per square metre of standard market sales (Price Paid category A), using each home's EPC floor area.
HM Land Registry Price Paid + EPC · 2026-08
Areas with fewer than 20 qualifying sales in the 12 months fall back to their MSOA, then council.
Excludes repossessions, buy-to-let and company sales (category B) and 'other' property types.
Sales without an EPC floor area, under £20,000, or outside 15–1,000 m² or £500–£40,000/m² are excluded.
Land Registry registers sales with a lag of up to a few months, so the latest window is still filling.
Outside London, sales are placed in their postcode's area (ONSPD) and linked to EPC floor areas by address; before 2023 they show one value a year. London's figures come from its address-level build.
Price sample: 25 matched sales support this number at LSOA level; 0 of 25 sales had no usable floor area and are excluded.
Compared with England: Not published: nationwide price coverage is incomplete.

Getting around
On mapSources
Walk to a station: the typical walk from the area's homes to the nearest rail, tube, DLR or tram station is timed along mapped OpenStreetMap paths at 4.8 km/h; each station row is a straight-line estimate stretched by a 1.3 routing detour, so it reads 'about'. Lifts, stairs, crossings and waiting are not timed. © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL.

Crime is counted where it happens, so busy shopping and night-life streets score high.
Rates are per 1,000 residents over 12 months; places with few residents and many visitors read high.
Police.uk open data: the police forces of England and Wales. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Road casualties: Department for Transport, Road Safety Data (STATS19), OGL v3.0. Many slight injuries are never reported to the police.
Recorded crime. Police-recorded offences in the 12 months to the selected month, per 1,000 residents (every police force in England). Excludes anti-social behaviour and British Transport Police.
Police.uk open data · 2026-08
Rolling 12 months: each month shows offences recorded in the year to that month.
Published crime coordinates are deliberately anonymised and never identify a building.
British Transport Police records are excluded.
Anti-social behaviour is excluded from the rate (police.uk lists it separately).
Population denominator: ONS mid-2024 LSOA estimates; council/MSOA rates use summed counts and populations.
City of London and West End rates use resident population; daytime footfall is far higher.
police.uk places each crime at an anonymous snap point; an LSOA with fewer than 20 offences in 12 months and under a tenth of the crimes its MSOA rate predicts shows the MSOA rate instead (marked fallback).
Percentiles compare each area with the others of its region.
No figure where the police force did not publish every month of the 12 (latest window: Greater Manchester, Northumbria, Gloucestershire).
Schools

State schools within 1.5 km, nearest first, by straight-line distance. Not a catchment: being close does not guarantee a place.
Top 10%: the school is in the top tenth of South West's schools on its latest published results and rated Good or better.
Older Ofsted grades and the new report cards are not comparable; each badge says which it is.
Kids, each ranked against South West's areas: nurseries and pre-schools within 1 km rated well by Ofsted (Good or Outstanding, or a report card with no area below Expected standard; childminders are not included), Ofsted Early Years management information, Open Government Licence v3.0. Road safety: pedestrians and cyclists hurt within 500 m in police-reported collisions over five years, DfT road safety data (STATS19), Open Government Licence v3.0. Cycle lanes: km of protected track and TfL Cycleway within 1 km, TfL Cycling Infrastructure Database (surveyed 2017–19) and Cycleways, Powered by TfL Open Data (London only).
Local places
On mapSources
Shops, pubs, cafés, pharmacies and GP surgeries mapped in OpenStreetMap. Volunteers keep it up to date, so a new or closed place may be missing.
Food hygiene: cafés, restaurants, takeaways and pubs within 800 m with a published rating; exempt places and those awaiting inspection are left out. Food Standards Agency, Open Government Licence v3.0.

Flood: shares of the area's land by Environment Agency band, not of its buildings. Highest: the highest band covering at least 1% of the land.
Environment Agency: these bands show the likelihood of flooding for an area, not for a specific property. Check one address.
Nature: the score combines green land, street trees per hectare and the distance to the nearest nature reserve or SSSI, each ranked among South West neighbourhoods.
Wildlife: species people recorded within 1 km (birds, mammals, amphibians). Records follow where people look, so a short list can mean few observers, not few animals.
Local Nature Reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest only; council Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation are not openly licensed and are not included.
