How scores work

King George's & Sunray sits on the eastern edge of Kingston upon Thames around Tolworth and the Kingston-Sutton border, a ward of interwar suburban streets with the Hogsmill River and playing fields running through it. There are no listed buildings and the conservation-area coverage is a negligible 1.3 percent of the ward. Nature is the main card: 45.4 hectares of green space anchored by the Tolworth Court Sports Ground and the Kingston University playing fields. Safety scores sit above the London median at 68 and six outstanding-rated schools lie within reach. The drawbacks are plain. Public-transport access is only moderate and depends on Tolworth and Worcester Park stations on South Western Railway rather than any Tube, the heritage and culture scores are both very low, food and nonFood venue counts are thin at 28 and 12, and housing sits in the middle of the market rather than the affordable side for what is on offer.
