## Is SE1 safe? What police records show

In the 12 months to August 2026, police recorded crimes and anti-social behaviour in SE1 at a rate of 294.7 per 1,000 people.
That compares with 133.0 per 1,000 people across the SE postcode area.
In August 2026 alone, 2,056 cases of crime and anti-social behaviour were recorded in SE1.
In the 12 months to August 2026, the most common types were other crime (5,442), theft from the person (5,199) and anti-social behaviour (3,910).
A year earlier, the recorded crime rate in SE1 was 295.6 per 1,000 people.
Worked out by Open Index from police.uk crime records and ONS and NISRA population estimates.
Rates are per resident, so places that many people work in or visit, such as Westminster, the City of London and other city centres, have far higher rates than their residents alone would suggest.
