Neighbourhood safety · Inner London · data through August 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: 60/100.

Methodology

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.

The index compares areas within Inner London. It is not comparable between cities: each police force publishes a different set of offences over a different period — London's figures cannot be read against another city's on the same 0–100 scale.
