Regents Park · Suburb / Locality
How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.
Almost every home in Regents Park is within a short walk of a park, school or transport, yet health services are a significant gap. While most residents can easily reach daily essentials on foot, the area is only rated as somewhat walkable overall. This reflects a place where basic amenities are close by, but medical care is much harder to reach without a car.

5.4
Somewhat walkable of suburb / locality areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.

7.5
Lower than 65% of suburb / locality areas.
Walkable amenities — shops, cafés, parks, health services, schools, cultural and community places, everyday services and public-transport stops — per 1,000 residents. Measures how much is around, apart from how far it is to walk there.
155
Higher than 88% of suburb / locality areas.

4.9%
Lower than 59% of suburb / locality areas.
Average terrain slope across the area, as a percent grade. Steeper ground shortens how far people will walk; it is already folded into the walkability score through the elevation-aware pedestrian network, and is shown here on its own for context.
