Calculating your cafe location viability based on live data . . .
POSTCODE
EC2M 4NR · City of London
Score
8.6/ 10
Very strong site. Early viability indicator — read the breakdown below.
Location
EC2M 4NR
City of London
Transport access
8 stations
Rail/metro within 800m · Strong
Lots of trains or tubes nearby. That helps people drop in, and makes it easy to meet here. Four or more stations within about a 10-minute walk is a strong sign.
Daytime workers
31,943 / km²
Workday density · Strong
Lots of people work nearby on weekdays. That is good for morning coffee and lunch. 15,000 or more workers per km² is a strong sign.
Surrounding activity
191 venues
Food & drink within 400m · Strong
This street already has lots of places to eat and drink, so people come here anyway. 60 or more nearby is a strong sign.
Café competition
18 cafés
Within 200m · Weak
Lots of cafés nearby. People do buy coffee here, but you would need a clear reason for them to pick yours.
Affluence (IMD)
Decile 7/10
Middle-of-the-road area · Fair
This area sits in the middle for money and living standards. A score of 8–10 would point to stronger café spend.
Food-business density
489 businesses
FSA-registered within 400m · Strong
This is mostly a good sign: lots of food places nearby means people already come here to eat and drink. You get that shared footfall — but you also share the street with more rivals. 50 or more is the strong band.
Occupancy cost
Unavailable
Rent + rates · No data
We cannot show rent and business rates yet. When we can, we will check them against a simple rule: they should usually be about 8–12% of what the café takes in.
