The nearest mapped park is 0.3 km from the W1U 6 sector centre, with 43 mapped parks within 1 km. These are map counts and straight-line distances, not a measure of park quality or access routes.
What stands out in the records
Station and supermarket distances
From the W1U 6 sector centre, the nearest mapped station is 0.4 km away and supermarket 0.1 km away in a straight line. These are not journey times.
Broadband availability
Gigabit availability averages 85.0% across 111 residential postcode records in W1U 6, using Ofcom's January 2026 snapshot. This gives each postcode equal weight, not each home. Check the exact address for service.
Recorded sales
W1U 6 has a recorded sale median of £1,687,500 from 16 sales. These 2025 transactions do not establish a price trend or current asking price.
Streets and surroundings
See streets and nearby places within about 1 km of the approximate postcode sector centre. The marker does not show a specific address or the sector boundary.
The map comes from OpenStreetMap and loads only when you choose to show it. Attribution appears on the map.
Transfers dated 2025. A small sample can move the median sharply.
The dated rent series below covers a wider local authority, not this postcode sector. Use live rental searches below to check current asking rents.
How prices have changed nearby
ONS monthly averages for Westminster local authority. This is a wider area than the postcode sector above, whose recorded sale figures are medians for 2025.
Why this council area is shown
ONS boundaries dated December 2025 put the largest share of the mapped sector overlap in Westminster, about 100%. This compares land area, not homes or addresses.

How to read these figures
The UK House Price Index uses a geometric mean for this local authority. It differs from the sector sale median above in geography, period and calculation. Missing source months remain gaps. No later months are estimated.
Service distances are straight lines from an approximate sector centre. They do not measure a route or journey time.

These links open live searches on external property sites. They search the wider W1U postcode district, which contains other sectors. Listing availability and prices change on those sites.
These are evidence matches from across the nationwide postcode sector dataset. Some may be far from W1U 6. Compare the recorded measures and distance before deciding which guides to open.
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.

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.
