Sadiq Khan has hit back at politicians „spreading misinformation“ about safety in London as new data shows the number of violent crimes leading to injury has fallen in every borough over the past year.
Figures from the mayor’s office for policing and crime compare the 12 months ending in August 2025 with the previous 12 months – and show there were 8,749 fewer crimes which resulted in someone being hurt, a drop of nearly 12%.
The borough of Havering in east London recorded the largest drop (16.3%) followed by Enfield in north London (16.1%).
The smallest decreases were in Greenwich (4.3%) and Kensington and Chelsea (4.6%).
Sir Sadiq said: „We’ve seen a number of politicians here and across the globe talking down London and spreading misinformation about crime and safety in the capital.
There has been an increase in police resolution orders, stats can easily be fixed.

Anyone who thinks London is particularly dangerous has never lived in a big city before
Listen. I don’t care what the statistics say, crime is alot worse in London *now* than 15 years ago. But it is still comparable to any big city. London used to be a contender for best city on earth now it’s just average and that’s fine
All the people from Newcastle complaining about crime in London have clearly never visited London in the early 2000s.
Yeah but I *feel* like there is more crime than ever, because I watch social media videos that reinforce this opinion all day every day! My tears say more than statistics ever could.
Yes but visible and more brazen crime is on the up massively – shoplifting, phone snatching, antisocial behaviour, bike theft, etc. This is generally what impacts the average person the most and has essentially been decriminalised by the Met.
This is why people think crime is on the up. There needs to be an element of tackling these problems so it doesn’t feel like you live in a lawless place.
How much crime goes unreported by businesses because they know that nothing will be done and insurance costs will go up?
People no longer report petty crimes because the police do not do anything and do not give a fuck about the impact on the victims of even „small“ incidents. And yet still somehow have time to chase down flag offenses and mean tweets?
I’ve had phone snatches, muggings and outright attacks before that were shoved off by the coppers before they ever put pen to paper.
No, no, no. Stats wrong, feelings right. It’s 2025 people, surely you must know how it works now…
