Commute

Coming next

Door-to-door journey times to Waterloo, King's Cross and Canary Wharf are being wired up via TfL Journey Planner. Until then the commute score is a placeholder and not weighted heavily.

How this is built.

Scores are percentiles within our London cohort — your score is relative to other London areas, not absolute. Schools come from the DfE GIAS register (open schools only). Crime is from data.police.uk, latest available month. Ofsted single-word judgements were withdrawn in Sept 2024 — we'll add the new report-card grades as they roll out from late 2025.

  • Commute score is a placeholder. TfL Journey Planner planned for v1.1.
  • Crime data is for 2026-03 (police.uk publishes with ~6 week lag).

Generated 17 May 2026.
