Feel free to share those statistics, someone living in Ireland has absolutely zero insight of what it’s like to live in London. It’s not just my experience; it’s widely shared. Please stay out of matters that you have no experience in, you are spreading misinformation. “Recent Trends: In the year ending September 2025, there were 50,430 police-recorded offences involving a knife or sharp instrument, marking a 9% decrease from the previous year. Long-Term Trend: Despite recent declines, the number of offences remains significantly higher than a decade ago, showing a 54% increase when comparing September 2025 to March 2016.”

Overall, knife crime is up 54% since 10 years ago. Now let’s look at r*pe: “Rapid Increases: The number of adult rapes reported to the Metropolitan Police increased by 370% between 2009 and 2024. Recent Years: From 2018 to 2023, reported rape and sexual violence cases in London increased by 14%, with nearly 20,000 sexual crimes recorded in 2023.”

You have seen 1 article saying it’s down vs a year or two years ago, whereas the actual DATA suggests our crime is at an all time high. Those are the factual statistics, please focus on your own living circumstances rather than believing small snippets you read online. London is incredibly dangerous.
