Is SW1E at risk of flooding?

33 of the 87 postcodes in SW1E have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts none of the homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 33 of 87 postcodes Very low: 574

High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.

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 SW1E?

Homes in SW1E sold for a typical £850,000 in the 12 months to September 2026, across 11 sales, HM Land Registry's figures show. The 12 months before gave £1,600,000 from 14 sales. With fewer than 30 sales a year, a change can come from which homes happened to sell, so we do not give one.

£1,600,000 12 months to September 2025
  • Flat or maisonette £850,000 11 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.
