Current local priorities

  • Violence Against Women & Girls (VAWG). Three years ago, Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley pledged to make London a Safer City for women and girls. Some of the initiatives already underway on Kensington & Chelsea borough include "Walk, Talk & Do" along with monthly VAWG engagement stands across Kensington & Chelsea with initiatives to highlight areas across the borough where Women & Girls feel particularly vulnerable. Local Neighbourhood officers are working in partnership with Licensed premises to promote "ASK ANGELA", an Initiative in pubs & bars that allows people feeling unsafe, vulnerable or threatened to discreetly seek help by asking bar staff for "ANGELA" .
  • Modified E-BIKE / E- SCOOTER ASB
  • Residential Burglary

How to Read This

Designed for travel planning, not certainty.

  • Recent street-level incidents within the selected radius are weighted by category.
  • Violence, robbery, weapons and burglary carry higher weight than lower-severity categories.
  • A stable neighbourhood baseline from the official English Indices of Deprivation crime domain anchors the score.
  • Dense central visitor areas are normalized so footfall does not automatically imply danger.
  • Improving recent trend slightly lifts the score; a rising trend lowers it.
  • The score is indicative and based only on public recorded crime data, not a guarantee of personal safety.
