What stands out in the records

  • Station and supermarket distances

    From the E2 9 sector centre, the nearest mapped station is 0.1 km away and supermarket 0.1 km away in a straight line. These are not journey times.

  • Primary school evidence

    2 primary schools appear inside the E2 9 sector boundary. 100% of those with a recorded Ofsted rating are Good or Outstanding; the rated subset may be smaller than the total. Location does not determine admission eligibility.

  • Broadband availability

Recorded sales cover 2025; these medians are not current asking prices. Distances are straight lines between approximate sector centres, not travel routes. Missing values remain unknown.

How these comparisons were made

Sale medians come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for England and Wales. Suggestion reasons use the available sale medians, Ofcom January 2026 residential broadband availability, calculated as an unweighted mean of postcode percentages and undated OpenStreetMap station, supermarket and park locations. Distances to mapped places are also straight lines from approximate sector centres. A suggestion shares several measures with this sector; it is not a suitability score.

This guide covers postcode sector E2 9, not the whole of Tower Hamlets. 6 of 6 evidence categories are available. Missing values mean unknown.

See metric sources and dates

Sector sale medians come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for England and Wales. The guide shows standard residential transactions for 2025, grouped by property type, with at least five sales per published median. School locations were processed from Get Information about Schools with OpenStreetMap fallback where needed. Check current English school inspection reports with Ofsted. Recorded crime counts use Police.uk open data; the processed sector file does not retain an observation period.
