London crime statistics by ward
The map below shows London crime rates by ward, based on crimes per capita rather than total crimes. Use the dropdown menu to change view from comparative crime rates in 2012/13, to change in crime rates over the past year, 5 years and 10 years. Zoom in and click on specific wards to see key data, including categorisations of crimes.
The Metropolitan Police force does not cover the City of London, so there is no data for the City. For the rest of London combined, the crime rate in 2012/13 was 91 crimes per 1,000 population, down by 6% vs last year, 16% vs 5 years ago and 31% vs 10 years ago.
