London Islington

Name: Crimes per 1,000 residents by neighbourhood, Islington, Q1 2023 to Q2 2026
Creator: CrimesLog

20 neighbourhoods - a quarterly race to the lowest crime rate.

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 Islington averaged 40.9, hence it is generally less safe when all crimes are considered.

How do the 20 neighbourhoods of Islington compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 11,283 crimes across them, 40.9 for every 1,000 residents. That is 0.6% above a year earlier and 26.8% above Q1 2023, the first quarter we track.

Tufnell Park has the lowest rate of the everyday neighbourhoods (19.3 per 1,000), followed by Arsenal (25.1) and Caledonian Road (25.8). Farringdon has the highest (134.4).

A little history

Islington in London. London's ancient core was founded by the Romans as Londinium, and the city has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. The London Borough of Islington lies in North London and forms part of Inner London. It was formed in 1965 by the amalgamation of two metropolitan boroughs, under the London Government Act 1963.

Notable neighbourhoods in Islington include:

Angel. Angel is an area on the northern fringes of Central London, within the London Borough of Islington. It is a commercial and retail centre and a business improvement district, and the London Plan identifies it as a major centre. It is named after the former Angel Inn, which stood on the corner of Islington High Street and Pentonville Road.

Archway. Archway is an area of north London, in the London Borough of Islington, and straddles the A1. Its name is an early synonym for "tunnel", which the Highgate Archway Company set out to build. The tunnel collapsed during construction and was replaced by Highgate Archway and a three-arch bridge carrying Hornsey Lane. That structure was replaced in 1900 by Archway Bridge.

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.

Highbury (31.9 per 1,000 from 15 crimes among 471 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.
