Reported offences

7,741, about 645 a month

Within 500 m of a EC2R 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.
