London · suburban
Central London (Westminster) scores 47/100 overall. World-class amenities and a strong local economy are offset by extremely high crime volumes near Trafalgar Square and significant flood risk from the Thames. 17,945 crimes were recorded in just 3 months, with theft from the person accounting for 33%. Despite this, 1,865 nearby amenities and 30 rail/tube stations make it one of the most connected and serviced locations in the UK.

Score by intent
The same dimensions, weighted differently for each use case. A great area for a first-time buyer is rarely the same area for a hands-off landlord. Intent-relative scoring is the difference between a generic ranking and a decision-grade one.
