Crime Trends: Neighbourhoods compared - each quarter from Q1 2023

London as a whole averaged 28.0 crimes for every 1,000 residents per quarter in Q2 2026, while Brent averaged 27.4, hence it is generally about as safe as London as a whole when all crimes are considered.

How do the 24 neighbourhoods of Brent compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 9,309 crimes across them, 27.4 for every 1,000 residents. That is 1.8% above a year earlier and 21.0% above Q1 2023, the first quarter we track.

South Kenton has the lowest rate of the everyday neighbourhoods (10.7 per 1,000), followed by Preston Road (13.1) and Kensal Rise (15.6). Brondesbury has the highest (57.3).

A little history

Brent in London. London stands on the River Thames and has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years; since 1965 most of it has formed Greater London. Brent is a borough in west and north-west London, part of Outer London, with the Welsh Harp reservoir and the Park Royal commercial estate.

Notable neighbourhoods in Brent include:

Wembley Stadium. Wembley Stadium is a football stadium in Wembley, in the London Borough of Brent. The current stadium opened in 2007 on the site of the original, which stood from 1923 until 2000. It is England's national football stadium and hosts the FA Cup Final. The Football Association, whose headquarters are in the stadium, owns it.

Neasden and Kingsbury. Neasden is a suburban area near the centre of the London Borough of Brent. Neasden Temple and the Neasden Underground Depot are located there, and Bob Marley's house in The Circle was honoured with a blue plaque in 2012. Kingsbury's ancient scope includes areas that were small villages until the inter-war period; today it lies between Fryent Country Park and the Brent Reservoir.

Recorded crime here is grouped into violent crime, property crime (burglary and theft), vehicle crime and public order offences, so you can compare how safe each neighbourhood is for the kind of crime that matters to you.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

No place is left out: every neighbourhood in this race has residents to count.

Wembley (17.6 per 1,000 from 7 crimes among 398 residents) is a place with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so it is not named as the lowest or highest.

Rates are recorded crimes per 1,000 residents, quarter by quarter; where a neighbourhood has fewer than 100 residents the rate would be worked out on 100 (those places are left out of the race). A count of recorded crime is not a verdict on any neighbourhood.
