12023 incidents total over 3 months — averages 4007.7/month, which is what the day/night scores below are based on.

Data completeness: full months, real administrative boundary — 12023 recorded incidents total across 3 months (2026-05–2026-07), queried against Camden's actual ONS 2021 polygon outline (the same shape shown on the map above), not an approximate circle. This is the complete monthly response from the UK Police API for each month in that window. Day score: 2.0515 weighted incidents/1,000 people, averaged over the last 3 months (81% of the 33-area average). Night score: 10.9048 weighted incidents/1,000 people, same window (87% of the 33-area average). Both are normalised by an estimated workday/footfall population of 407,111 rather than the 2021 resident population of 210,200, so central boroughs with heavy commuter and visitor footfall aren't overstated as riskier simply for having fewer official residents. The footfall estimate is derived from the ONS's 2011 Census workday-population release — the most recent one published — applied to Camden's current resident population, and it is therefore an approximation of today's footfall, not a measurement of it. Rated against the average of the 33 areas currently on the automated pipeline — 32 boroughs and the City of London.

Frequently asked questions

Is Camden safe?

Based on real, current UK Police data, Wandroz rates Camden as roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in London during the day and roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in London at night, relative to the other London boroughs currently on the automated pipeline. The rating comes from 12023 recorded incidents over 3 months (2026-05 to 2026-07), split into a day-weighted score (property crime) and a night-weighted score (violence, robbery, antisocial behaviour).

Is Camden safe at night?

Camden's night score is roughly average compared to other neighbourhoods in London, based on the categories most relevant after dark (violence, robbery, street theft, public order, antisocial behaviour), normalised by an estimated workday/footfall population rather than plain residents where that data exists, so busy central boroughs aren't overstated as riskier just for having fewer official residents.

What official data is Camden's rating based on?

12023 recorded incidents from data.police.uk (the UK Police's official open crime API), queried against Camden's real administrative boundary and covering 3 months (2026-05 to 2026-07) — recomputed from the source data whenever the Met publishes new months, not a one-off snapshot.
