Over the summer months, 5 million people will visit London, with its free museums and galleries, massive events featuring the biggest names in music and sport, and everything Britain’s capital city has to offer. And, as new figures released today show, they’ll be able to do so knowing London is one of the safest cities of its size in the world.
On social media, a dark blizzard of disinformation – much of it coordinated and amplified by extreme groups and hostile foreign actors – has seen bots and trolls depict London as a “lawless” city where crime goes unpunished and social decency has all but disappeared. But let’s deal in facts: data published by the Metropolitan police this morning shows that nothing could be further from the truth. Across the capital, there were 35,000 fewer “neighbourhood crimes” – a category which includes burglaries, thefts, robberies and vehicle crime offences – in the past 12 months than in the year before.
This has not happened by accident. As mayor I have provided a record £1.26bn in funding for the capital’s police force, more than double the amount under my predecessor. That funding has enabled it to invest in cutting-edge technology to keep pace with criminals, including ebikes and drones to pursue phone snatchers down London’s busy streets, but it has also boosted neighbourhood policing in communities across our city.
Now, we have more evidence that our approach is yielding real results. In Westminster – home to many communities and the centre of the capital’s tourism – we’ve doubled the number of police officers and introduced a new “command cell” to lead a crackdown on phone theft and robbery, neighbourhood crime has fallen by 36%. In the West End, the beating heart of London’s visitor economy, phone thefts are down by half.

Yeah... Sure...
Hey, if Sadiq Khan says that the Muslims are not a problem, I guess I’ll just have to believe him.
Well not to other muslims of which Khan is one but the infidels are another story of course.
Is this all the crime or did they remove some of the rape gang crime? Can you really believe them after that huge cover up?
I’m sure it’s not all bad...yet. The trend is what is disturbing.
Sadiq Khan is just so believable.
people who stained Sikh ceremonial knives with their blood
people praying outside of abortion clinics
people posting memes or online statements countering government defined truth
Amelia (once she is found
children defending family members from pedophiles
And anyone else whose eyes flash the slightest doubt or irony at the old or new prime minister
Golly. Turns out not enforcing the law for the third world imports led to a reduction in crime.
London’s haters continue to present our city as dystopian.
But the latest data tells a very different story.Neighbourhood crime is coming down, and London is getting safer ⬇️ https://t.co/CwKYpEYf7q pic.twitter.com/VWYCq6hLA6— Sadiq Khan (@SadiqKhan) July 23, 2026
I would not trust anything from The Guardian.
Tourist $$$ down?
From the article:
“Since last year, thousands of police officers across our city have been arresting an extra 1,000 suspects every month on average. “
How many of those arrests were made for saying or posting something that wasn’t politically correct?
People waving the English flag
People disparaging homos (except the muslims)
To paraphrase Stalin, it doesn’t matter what the crime stats are. What matters is who compiles the stats.
Sadiq Taqiyya Khan
How true.
Exactly, you can’t trust ANYTHING ANY mooselimb says AT ALL, period.
