Health & support
- Medical access: GP surgeries and pharmacies are available locally; central London hospitals are within reasonable reach by road or public transport.
- Safety: Recorded crime in the area is above the national average, with violent crime, anti-social behaviour and shoplifting recorded most often; this is worth weighing against your own comfort and support networks.

Finances & daily life

Things to weigh up
- Crime rate: Violent crime and anti-social behaviour are recorded above the national average; assess whether you feel confident in the area, and what support networks you'll have.
