How this ranking works

One fixed concept is scored against every one of the 2,480 London street segments in the Location Potential dataset: station entries and exits from TfL Annual Station Counts 2025 (National Rail: ORR 2024-25), recorded venues within the concept's competition radius (400 m to 1 km by type) from OpenStreetMap, Census 2021 residents for the local LSOA, business crime from data.police.uk, and rent context from Valuation Office Agency rateable values. Scores and revenue figures are MODELLED planning estimates with fixed, published rules, not observed takings. The full method, sources and limits are on the Method page.

Use this ranking to shortlist, then verify with on-street counts, agent enquiries and a licensing check before signing anything. A specialist can help you.
