Neighbourhood safety · Inner London · data through April 2026
How safe is your London neighbourhood?
SafeRoute scores every Inner London ward 0–100 from street-level incidents reported to the police — severity-weighted, within 1 km of each area's centre. Higher is safer. The same data powers the SafeRoute app's crime-aware walking routes.
These figures describe reported crime around each area's centre — they are informational, not a judgment of any community. Note: data.police.uk anonymises incident locations to the nearest of ~750k snap points, so dots mark streets, not addresses. Inner London median index: 31/100.

Walking in London at night?
SafeRoute scores every walking route against the same live crime data on this page — and shows how much of each route runs on lit streets. Pick the safer way, share your walk, and check in when you arrive. Free, no account.
Get SafeRoute on the App StoreMethodology
Each incident published by the police (via data.police.uk, Open Government Licence) is weighted by severity — violence counts for more than shoplifting. For every ward we sum weighted incidents within 1 km of its centre (ONS December 2025 ward centroids), and normalise onto a 0–100 index, higher = safer. Incident locations are anonymised by the police to nearby snap points, so the maps show streets rather than exact addresses. Pages regenerate as new data is published.
