Queen's Park, Westminster: Safety
Safety
Queen's Park is significantly safer than most London neighbourhoods. The crime rate here runs at roughly half the London average, and it's stayed that way consistently.
In 2025, Queen's Park recorded about 98 crimes per 1,000 residents, compared to 205 per 1,000 across London as a whole. That gap has remained steady. Early figures for 2026 show the rate dropping further, to around 70 crimes per 1,000 on an annualised basis.
Anti-social behaviour and violent crime are the biggest crime categories here, as they are across most urban areas. But both sit noticeably below London averages. Neighbouring areas like Dalgarno and Golborne record significantly higher rates, which shows just how safe Queen's Park really is by comparison.
