The picture
Street-level crime published by the Home Office and police forces.
Reported offences
13,052, about 1,088 a month
Within 500 m of a EC2A postcode, in the 12 months to July 2026. A count, not a rate: a district with a town centre in it records more crime than a residential one because far more people pass through, so this is not a measure of how likely anything is to happen to you.
Month by month
Aug 2025 to Jul 2026
Police data lags by roughly two months, so the most recent month shown is not the current one.
