A little history

Hillingdon in London. London has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years, and its ancient core, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium. The London Borough of Hillingdon is part of outer London and West London, and is the westernmost London borough. Formed in 1965 from several districts, it includes Heathrow Airport and Brunel University.

Notable neighbourhoods in Hillingdon include:

Uxbridge and Hillingdon. Uxbridge is a suburban town in west London and the administrative headquarters of the borough. It formed part of the parish of Hillingdon in Middlesex, became a municipal borough in 1955 and joined Greater London in 1965. Hillingdon is an area of Uxbridge. Its ancient parish included the market town of Uxbridge, saw a rapid, planned increase in population and housing during the 1920s, and was absorbed by Uxbridge Urban District in 1929.

West Drayton and Hayes. West Drayton is a suburban town that was an ancient parish in Middlesex. Its centre lies 1.9 miles north of Heathrow Airport. Hayes is a town historically in Middlesex, now part of the borough. The Grand Union Canal flows through the town centre, and Hayes & Harlington station is on the Elizabeth line.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: violent incidents were 34% (2,609), public order incidents were 29% (2,184), property incidents were 28% (2,110) and vehicle crimes were 10% (741).

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.

Read category comparisons with care. A category that jumps while the total hardly moves looks like a change in how offences are classified, not in what happened: Q2 2025: public order up 26% while the total moved 9%. The whole-area rate is the steadier guide.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

Left out: East Bedfont; Iver; Rickmansworth; Stanwell Moor; West Bedfont. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

Hillingdon Heath (36.4 per 1,000 from 12 crimes among 330 residents), Longford (100.8 per 1,000 from 86 crimes among 853 residents), Harmondsworth (52.7 per 1,000 from 86 crimes among 1,633 residents), Hill End (5.1 per 1,000 from 9 crimes among 1,779 residents), Harefield (14.3 per 1,000 from 36 crimes among 2,516 residents) and Cranford (40.9 per 1,000 from 111 crimes among 2,717 residents) are places with few residents (under 3,000): a rate on so few people says little about living there, so they are 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.
