Tottenham · Urban Centre
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.
Zero homes in Tottenham (L) are within walking distance of public transport, though almost every other everyday need is accessible on foot. This creates a stark contrast where the area is very walkable for local errands but completely dependent on cars for transit. Nearly all homes can reach schools, shops, and health services within a 15-minute walk.

The overall walkability score and how much of daily life is a short walk away.

6.3
Very walkable of urban centre 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.

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.
