Safest-scoring areas in London

Ranked on our safety score, a relative rank of police.uk recorded street crime within about a mile of each area. Two honest caveats: safety varies enormously street to street within any area, and a high score is not a guarantee. Treat this as a starting point for a shortlist, then walk the actual streets after dark.

Ranked from Boroughly's London dataset of 278 areas. Prices are postcode-district medians of HM Land Registry recorded sales; safety is a relative rank of police.uk recorded crime; rents and other scores are indicative - see how we source data. Use this to build a shortlist, not to make the final call.

Rank it around your own life instead

This list weights the criteria one particular way. Yours will be different - a 40-minute cap on the school run, a must-have mosque, a hard budget ceiling. The map lets you set those and re-rank all 278 London areas against them.
