Official records around this point

Point sources need one coordinate, so these are anchored on N6 5EX — the live postcode nearest the centre of the area. They describe that point, not every street. Each keeps its source, its geography and its limits. Counts are counts: an incident total is not a safety measure, and an empty planning result is not a completed search.

Applications near the postcode point, newest first — not applications on this property, and not a planning search. Each record originates with the London borough that validated it; the Datahub is the Greater London Authority's collection of those borough feeds, and the borough's own planning register remains the definitive record. Decisions and conditions can change after this snapshot.

Places mapped in OpenStreetMap within this distance of the postcode point, measured straight-line, and kept only where the map tags them as the kind of place the heading claims. OpenStreetMap is volunteer-maintained and this search returns the closest matches rather than every one: a short list is not proof that nothing else is there. Distances are not walking routes, and nothing here checks opening hours, whether a surgery is accepting patients, or whether a place is still trading.

Parks and green space

Parks, playgrounds, nature and outdoor sport mapped within 1.5 km of N6 5EX, ordered by straight-line distance. Distance is not a walking route, and OpenStreetMap says nothing about whether a space is open to the public, its hours or its condition.
