3821 incidents total over 3 months — averages 1273.7/month, which is what the day/night scores below are based on.

Data completeness: full months, real administrative boundary — 3821 recorded incidents total across 3 months (2026-05–2026-07), queried against Kingston upon Thames'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: 1.6587 weighted incidents/1,000 people, averaged over the last 3 months (65% of the 33-area average). Night score: 8.9867 weighted incidents/1,000 people, same window (71% of the 33-area average). Both are normalised by plain 2021 resident population (168,100) — no separate workday/footfall figure exists for Kingston upon Thames in the ONS's 2011 workday-population release (the most recent one published), so no correction is applied here (ratio 1.0) rather than guessing one. This means Kingston upon Thames's score may be slightly overstated relative to boroughs where a real commuter/footfall correction could be applied — see methodology. Rated against the average of the 33 areas currently on the automated pipeline — 32 boroughs and the City of London.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kingston upon Thames safe?

Based on real, current UK Police data, Wandroz rates Kingston upon Thames as relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in London during the day and relatively safer than most other neighbourhoods in London at night, relative to the other London boroughs currently on the automated pipeline. The rating comes from 3821 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 Kingston upon Thames safe at night?

Kingston upon Thames's night score is relatively safer than most 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 Kingston upon Thames's rating based on?

3821 recorded incidents from data.police.uk (the UK Police's official open crime API), queried against Kingston upon Thames'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.
