London, a city of rich history and vibrant culture, is also home to diverse neighbourhoods with varying levels of safety and security. For those who own property or manage rental units in some of the city’s more challenging boroughs, concerns about problem tenants and financial stability can be a constant worry.

At Shergroup, we understand the importance of protecting your investments and ensuring a steady cash flow. In this article, we’ll explore the most dangerous boroughs in London to live and work, backed by up-to-date crime statistics, and how Shergroup offers property and cash flow solutions to landlords, incorporating our expertise in enforcement, security, and cash flow management.

Understanding London’s Most Dangerous Boroughs with 2021 Crime Data | Areas to avoid in London

To provide you with accurate insights into the safety challenges of London’s boroughs, let’s examine the latest crime statistics for all 32 London worst areas, based on data from 2021:

Westminster |

In 2021, Westminster had the highest crime rate of any borough, with 218 crimes committed per 100,000 people.

Kensington & Chelsea |

This borough was second with 127 crimes committed per 1,000 people, indicating significant security concerns.

Hammersmith & Fulham |

Following closely was Hammersmith & Fulham, with 125.6 crimes per 1,000 people, highlighting the need for vigilant property management.

While Croydon had the second-highest number of crimes committed in 2021, it ranked 15th out of the 32 boroughs for crime rate, with 99 crimes committed per 1,000 citizens, indicating that crime rates can vary within a borough. Richmond remained the safest borough in London with the lowest crime rate at 62.9 per 1,000 citizens, whereas Kingston had the 6th lowest crime rate at 75.3 per 1,000 citizens. Bexley had the second-lowest crime rate, which had 70.6 crimes per 1,000 citizens, slightly lower than Harrow (70.9 per 1,000 people), Merton (71 per 1,000 people), and Sutton (72.6 people).

These statistics from www.finder.com/uk/london-crime-statistics emphasize the importance of having effective property and security solutions in place to safeguard your investments in high-risk or worst neighbourhoods or boroughs in London.  These statistics also touch on the prevalence of knife and gun crime in the capital which is often hard to predict but which are risks that need to be considered – particularly in an eviction scenario.
