The picture
Street-level crime published by the Home Office and police forces.
Reported offences
6,800, about 567 a month
Within 500 m of a EC2V 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
