Is EC1A at risk of flooding?

None of the 165 postcodes in EC1A is on the Environment Agency's list of postcodes with a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.

What do homes sell for in EC1A?

Homes in EC1A sold for a typical £600,000 in the 12 months to September 2026, across 19 sales, HM Land Registry's figures show. The 12 months before gave £625,000 from 19 sales. With fewer than 30 sales a year, a change can come from which homes happened to sell, so we do not give one.

£600,000 typical price, the 12 months to September 2026
£625,000 12 months to September 2025
  • Flat or maisonette £600,000 19 sales

Standard sales of homes at market value. A typical price is the median, the middle sale. Sales take weeks to be registered, so the last month or two are incomplete. Each postcode page gives the figure for its own postcode sector.
