London Tower Hamlets

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

26 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 Tower Hamlets averaged 33.1 (leaving out 2 places with almost no residents), hence it is generally less safe when all crimes are considered.

How do the 26 neighbourhoods of Tower Hamlets compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 10,600 crimes across them, 33.1 for every 1,000 residents. That is 2.9% above a year earlier and 19.2% above Q1 2023, the first quarter we track.

Wapping has the lowest rate of the everyday neighbourhoods (15.4 per 1,000), followed by Blackwall (16.2) and Mudchute (17.8). Shoreditch High Street has the highest (83.7).

A little history

Tower Hamlets in London. London has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. Its ancient core, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium. The London Borough of Tower Hamlets lies on the north bank of the River Thames, immediately east of the City of London. It spans the traditional East End and much of the regenerated London Docklands, including Canary Wharf.

Notable neighbourhoods in Tower Hamlets include:

Bethnal Green and Mile End. Bethnal Green grew from a small settlement around the Green, much of which survives today as Bethnal Green Gardens. It later became a hamlet, then a parish and a Metropolitan Borough, before merging with neighbouring areas to form the north-western part of Tower Hamlets. Mile End lies on Mile End Road and was one of the earliest suburbs of London.

Limehouse and Whitechapel. Limehouse sits on the northern bank of the river and has a strong maritime character, which it retains through its riverside public houses and steps, such as The Grapes and Limehouse Stairs. Whitechapel is the location of Tower Hamlets Town Hall and the borough town centre. Aldgate East station, on Whitechapel High Street, opened on 6 October 1884.

Reported Safety Incidents

In Q2 2026: violent incidents were 37% (3,879), property incidents were 31% (3,296), public order incidents were 26% (2,789) and vehicle crimes were 6% (636).

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

Left out: Canary Wharf; Spitalfields. They have almost no residents: their crimes are against visitors, so a rate per resident says little about living there.

West India Quay (45.1 per 1,000 from 64 crimes among 1,418 residents) and Poplar (32.8 per 1,000 from 69 crimes among 2,103 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.
