📊 Neighbourhood & area context
The figures below use three different geographies. Your neighbourhood appears when you add your full postcode. EC1M covers the schools and averages on this page. City of London is the whole council area for census figures, which may not match your street. Estimated crime uses that council's population but is scaled by deprivation near schools in EC1M, so it can differ from other districts in the same council. We only show statistics we have for this district.
