Which neighbourhood in Hammersmith and Fulham, London has the most reported crime?
Shepherd's Bush Green has the lowest index in Hammersmith and Fulham, London, at 46/100, with 934 reported incidents within 1 km of its centre. A low score means more is reported around that centre, which busy commercial and transport areas produce simply by having more people in them — it is not a measure of how dangerous a resident's street is.
Is Hammersmith and Fulham, London safe?
Across its 21 neighbourhoods the median SafeRoute safety index is 62/100, against 60 across Inner London. 2 rate low risk, 16 moderate, 3 elevated and 0 high risk. These describe reported crime only and vary widely within the borough — check the individual neighbourhood rather than reading one number for the whole of it.
How is the SafeRoute safety index calculated?
SafeRoute weights each police-recorded incident by severity (violence weighs more than shoplifting), sums the last available period within 1 km of the neighbourhood centre, and normalises against national crime rates onto a 0–100 scale — higher is safer. It describes reported crime only; it is not a guarantee of safety. The figure shown for Hammersmith and Fulham, London is the median of its 21 neighbourhoods — the borough is not measured separately.
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 neighbourhoods 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.
