A view of Surbiton. Photograph by Colin Smith.

Surbiton is a suburban area in the London Borough of Kingston upon Thames, offering a mix of residential streets, local shops, and community facilities, with easy access to central London.

What stands out

  • Riverside walks

Trade-offs

  • Mature trees and gardens versus busy roads
  • Variety of housing types versus limited new development
  • Quiet neighbourhoods versus proximity to main roads

Official records around this point

Point sources need one coordinate, so these are anchored on KT6 6HX — the live postcode nearest the centre of the area. They describe that point, not every street. Crime is counted across the whole St Mark's and Seething Wells policing neighbourhood, which is the Police.uk boundary containing KT6 6HX — a named area can span several of them, so this is the one covering the centre of Surbiton, not all of it. 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 St Mark's and Seething Wells 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.

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 KT6 6HX, 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.

Housing market context

£594,498average house price across Kingston upon Thames, June 2026

A year earlier the same measure was £577,481, a change of +2.9%.

Average price across the whole local authority for one month, from the ONS series built on HM Land Registry UK House Price Index data. It is not a neighbourhood median and not a valuation of any property. Two guides in the same borough share this figure while their streets differ. House-price data is revised, and recent months are the most likely to move.

Source: Average house price by local authority, Office for National Statistics, from HM Land Registry UK House Price Index.

What this report does not cover

  • neighbourhood median sale price (not_available): Only a local-authority average is connected, from ONS. A neighbourhood median needs enough geocoded transactions inside the guide boundary, which the per-postcode HMLR queries cannot supply.
  • rents (not_available): No rent series is connected. Advertised rents and official all-tenancy measures are different things and neither is available here yet.
  • journey times (not_available): No journey planner is connected. Transport is measured as nearby stops, not as time to anywhere. TfL PTAL and journey-time APIs would replace it for London.
  • school admissions history (not_available): Admission arrangements are held by each admission authority and are not in the GIAS or Ofsted snapshots.
  • licensed premises and venues (not_available): No licensing register or venue dataset is connected. Food-hygiene categories are not a pub register.
  • image rights (not_yet_verified): No licensed image library is connected. Return an image brief rather than an asset.
  • approved boundary polygon (not_yet_verified): Boundaries are postcode-district proxies. Counts describe the districts named, not a town-centre polygon.

Boundary

Surbiton, taken as the KT6 postcode district. A postcode-district proxy, not an approved polygon. These are postcode districts standing in for an approved polygon. Present every count as "in these postcode districts", never as a neighbourhood or town-centre figure.
