Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @london.gov.uk · 12/01/2026

NEW: London has recorded its lowest homicide rate since records began. The evidence is clear - our approach to tackling violent crime is working.

Infographic titled ‘London’s homicide rate is lowest in recorded history.’ A line chart shows London’s homicide rate per 100,000 residents from 1997 to 2025. Rates peak around 2003 at just under 3.0, then steadily decline with small fluctuations, reaching 1.1 in 2025. Text highlights that the rate is 55% lower than in 1997. Caption notes targeted measures led by the Mayor and that this is the lowest per-capita rate on record despite population growth.
