Districts next to SE23

Found in the same 2.8 km sample around the centre of SE23, from 225 live postcodes. Proximity, not a boundary.

Official records around this point

Point sources need one coordinate, so these are anchored on SE23 2DD — the live postcode nearest the centre of the area. They describe that point, not every street. Crime is counted across the whole Perry Vale policing neighbourhood, which is the Police.uk boundary containing SE23 2DD. 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.

One month of records for the Perry Vale policing neighbourhood — the boundary police.uk itself shows, so this figure should match theirs. Not a year. Locations are anonymised to a nearby street, not an address. Counts are not adjusted for population, visitors or reporting differences and must not be treated as a neighbourhood quality score.

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.

Daily essentials

Supermarkets, pharmacies, healthcare, gyms and libraries mapped near SE23 2DD, ordered by straight-line distance. OpenStreetMap is contributed data: a place missing here is not proof it does not exist, and nothing here confirms opening hours or that a business is still trading.

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 SE23 2DD, 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.
