How to read this

• It shows crime reported to the police. Many crimes are never reported.
• Levels compare areas within London. The same level in another city does not mean the same.
• It is not a prediction, and it says nothing about any person or building.
• Please do not use it for decisions about housing, lending, insurance or employment.

• Covers Greater London: the 32 boroughs and the City of London.
• UK police publish the month of each crime but not the time of day, so day and night views are not available for London.
• UK police group all violence and sexual offences, and all vehicle crime, into one category each.
• Locations are moved to the nearest of a set of anonymous points (usually the middle of a street) by the police to protect privacy.
• Crime on the Underground and railways (British Transport Police) is not included: it has not been published since early 2025.
