Safety
Thamesfield's crime rate sits well below London's average. In 2025, it recorded around 110 crimes per 1,000 people, compared to London's 204.5. This gap has stayed consistent over the past two years.
The neighbourhood's rate is also close to the UK average of 88.6 per 1,000, which is impressive for a London location. Neighbouring areas like St Mary's and Wandsworth Town have significantly higher rates, so Thamesfield looks reassuring by comparison.
