Common questions

Which has less crime, W1B or W1F?

W1B recorded fewer crimes in the same period (4632 in W1B against 4676 in W1F, Police.uk). Busier places record more, so read this alongside how built-up each area is rather than on its own.

Is W1B or W1F the more affluent area?

On the Index of Multiple Deprivation, W1B sits in decile 4 of 10 and W1F in decile 4, where 10 is the least deprived.

Should I buy in W1B or W1F?

That depends on what you need, and no dataset answers it. What this page gives you is the evidence side by side: what homes actually sell for, the energy ratings, the flood zone, recorded crime and deprivation, each traced to the body that published it.
