Travel time to the West End is approximately 30–35 minutes.

The investment case: Yields, connectivity and tenant demand

The rental yields in this area approx 6.04% and Piccadilly Line access to central London and direct connections to Heathrow Airport mean the tenant profile extends beyond just local community renters.

Getting around: The Piccadilly Line advantage
