Redcliffe
Kensington and Chelsea, London
PocketsFulham Road (north-west · Church of England Chapel · Cranley Gardens)West Brompton (Brompton Cemetery · Tomb of Emmeline Pankhurst · Old Brompton Road)South Kensington
Redcliffe sits in the south-west of Kensington and Chelsea between Earl's Court and Fulham Road, a conservation-area ward entirely shaped by the Gunter estate's mid-Victorian development. The ninety-two listed buildings include the Grade II* Church of England Chapel and runs of Grade II* houses on Harrington Gardens, with Redcliffe Square, built from 1864 onwards, giving the area its characteristic four-storey gault-brick-with-stucco terraces. Transport is very good, with Earl's Court, Gloucester Road and West Brompton all close and quick links into the City and West End. Twenty-nine Ofsted outstanding rated schools fall within reach, and the ward carries a steady food and retail offer — 74 eating places and 84 non-food venues. The trade-offs are the classic Royal Borough shape: green space is almost absent within the ward, with Redcliffe Square Gardens and Brompton Cemetery one ward over carrying most of the relief, market pricing is high, and air quality is depressed by heavy Earl's Court Road traffic.

Redcliffe, quick answers
- Is Redcliffe safe?
- Redcliffe scores 52 for safety, based on street-level recorded crime (police.uk) — mid-table for London. The score weighs personal safety, property crime and anti-social behaviour separately rather than ranking on one raw total, so the mix of crime matters as well as the volume.
- Is Redcliffe a good place to live?
- Redcliffe scores 48 overall when all nine data layers are weighted equally. The London comparison beside the score shows how that number ranks against every ward. Its strongest suits are heritage (100) and connectivity (84); its weakest is area development (7). Whether it suits you depends on what you weight — the same data re-ranked around your own priorities can read very differently.

- Very good public-transport access: Transport for London rates the typical spot in Redcliffe 7 on its 0–8 public-transport access scale, which puts the ward at 84 for connectivity relative to the rest of London.
- Is Redcliffe expensive to buy in?
- Relative to the rest of London, Redcliffe is among London's pricier areas: its purchase-affordability score is 0/20, where higher means cheaper per square foot (HM Land Registry sold prices matched to floor areas).
- What are the schools like near Redcliffe?
