Rather than showing demographic data from just SE26 4SQ, we've taken data from the LSOA (Lower Super Output Area) so we can display accurate demographic data.

The postcode SE26 4SQ is in the LSOA area called 'Lewisham 027E', in the Perry Vale ward.

The geographical demographic data for SE26 4SQ has been extracted from the Office of National Statistics, responsible for the collection and publication of UK statistics relating to population, society and economy. (ONS)
