London Westminster

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

32 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 Westminster averaged 90.6 (leaving out 2 places with almost no residents), hence it is generally less safe when all crimes are considered.

How do the 32 neighbourhoods of Westminster compare? In Q2 2026 the police recorded 17,919 crimes across them, 90.6 for every 1,000 residents. That is 18.2% below a year earlier and 20.9% below Q1 2023, the first quarter we track.

Maida Vale has the lowest rate of the everyday neighbourhoods (16.2 per 1,000), followed by St John's Wood (19.0) and Pimlico (22.9). Tottenham Court Road has the highest (529.7).

A little history

Westminster 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 City of Westminster lies to the west of the City of London and is a London borough with city status. It contains the Houses of Parliament, much of the British government and a large part of the West End, including Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly and Bond Street.

Notable neighbourhoods in Westminster include:

Paddington and Warwick Avenue. Paddington was a medieval parish, later a metropolitan borough of the County of London, before it was integrated with Westminster and Greater London in 1965. Paddington station opened in 1847. Warwick Avenue is a residential avenue in Maida Vale, with its southern end adjacent to Paddington Basin, to the north of Paddington station.

Westbourne Park and Pimlico. Westbourne Park takes its name from the west bourne, or River Westbourne, a Thames tributary that was encased in the 1850s. Pimlico is a district in Central London, built as a southern extension to neighbouring Belgravia.

Places we left out, and places to read with care

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

Temple (617.4 per 1,000 from 163 crimes among 264 residents), Charing Cross (2120.3 per 1,000 from 564 crimes among 266 residents), London Charing Cross (706.8 per 1,000 from 270 crimes among 382 residents), Green Park (538.3 per 1,000 from 464 crimes among 862 residents), London Paddington (144.6 per 1,000 from 128 crimes among 885 residents), Hyde Park Corner (215.4 per 1,000 from 244 crimes among 1,133 residents), Leicester Square (961.2 per 1,000 from 1238 crimes among 1,288 residents), Piccadilly Circus (901.8 per 1,000 from 1488 crimes among 1,650 residents), Queensway (48.9 per 1,000 from 86 crimes among 1,759 residents), Regent's Park (60.7 per 1,000 from 109 crimes among 1,797 residents), Lisson Grove (46.1 per 1,000 from 91 crimes among 1,973 residents), Oxford Circus (700.3 per 1,000 from 1425 crimes among 2,035 residents), Victoria (213.1 per 1,000 from 455 crimes among 2,135 residents), Bond Street (432.3 per 1,000 from 1225 crimes among 2,834 residents), Lancaster Gate (76.7 per 1,000 from 219 crimes among 2,854 residents) and Covent Garden (219.5 per 1,000 from 655 crimes among 2,984 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.
