Hextable, Sevenoaks: Safety
Safety
Hextable is safer than the UK and South East averages, and it's getting better. Crime fell from 44.9 per 1,000 residents in 2024 to 40.7 in 2025.
The neighbourhood has roughly half the crime rate of nearby Swanley White Oak, which recorded 101.2 crimes per 1,000 residents in 2024 compared to Hextable's 44.9. That gap hasn't changed.
Anti-social behaviour is well below the national average. The UK average was 111 incidents in 2024; Hextable recorded just 13.
Early 2026 data suggests the improvement is continuing, with the annualised rate tracking noticeably lower than previous years.
