The most and least connected boroughs overall are:

  • Best: City of London (96.09), Westminster (94.39), Islington (93.38)
  • Worst: Havering (73.45), Bromley (74.59), Hillingdon (75.07)

This is based on the Department for Transport's new transport connectivity metric. You can also filter by transport mode (for walking, cycling, public transport, driving), journey purpose, and see all of England and Wales.

  3. Interested to know the methodology. I’d say Whitechapel is better connected than Aldgate East.

  4. Interesting site!

    I’ve got relatives who live near Simonsbath on Exmoor, which as far as I can tell is the worst connected place in England & Wales with a score of 0.3 – can anyone find lower?

  5. Can testify to the pure convenience of Aldgate East. Everywhere I wanted to go to – Barbican, Bloomsbury, Regent’s Park, Canary Wharf, Dalston, Peckham, Embankment, all within 30 mins at most. Downside is I lived in an absolute shithole.

  8. Tell you what, it may not be particularly well-connected, but Cudham looks like a lovely little village. 10th Century church, 17th Century pub (that looks like it’s independently owned).

    Does always feel a bit random that places like that count as being in London, though.

  9. Well what a surprise how relatively crap other major conurbations seem to be. How could that have happened?

  10. West hampstead got to high up there. Overground , jubilee etc etc

  11. The village in Cornwall I grew up in has a 37.6 score yet it has a bus every two hours and the B-road in to it is narrow and winding between hedges and fields. And somehow 9% of the UK is worse than this!

  12. You’ve picked almost the rural spot of London for “Bromley”. It’s basically Kent!

  13. Not London but 
    Metric: Overall
