Local Policing

This point falls in the Wandsworth Town neighbourhood, covered by the Metropolitan Police.

Current local priorities

  • Violence Against Person
  • Shoplifting To reduce ASB offences and shoplifting offences within the shopping centre and Garratt Lane area. Retail crime (shoplifting, assaults against staff and criminal damage) have increased year on year. In line with the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, these crime types and associated issues such as begging, homelessness and substance misuse will be treated as a priority.
  • Anti-social Behaviour Increase in summer ASB at Ram Quarter relating to the Night Time Economy. ***EMERGING ISSUE*** With recent warm sunshine and long summer evenings, there has been a marked increase in reports of ASB from within the Ram Quarter. In support of Wandsworth Summer plans, this will be treated as a priority in the upcoming weeks.

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.
