The bottom line

EN2 6AR offers exceptional schools (100% Good/Outstanding), low crime, fast broadband and a green environment — strong value for Families and Owner-occupiers who can accept its trade-offs.

The catches: high noise levels nearby; 58 min to victoria — above average for this zone and 5 Japanese knotweed sites within 400m — may affect mortgage applications.

Less suited to Car-free commuters.
