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

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.
