Thamesmead Moorings, Greenwich: Safety
Safety
Crime in Thamesmead Moorings is higher than the UK average, but it's been dropping steadily and is actually lower than most nearby neighbourhoods.
In 2024, the neighbourhood saw around 124 crimes per month. That fell to about 115 per month in 2025 — a solid year-on-year improvement. The UK average was roughly 60 crimes per month over the same period, so there's still a gap.
The good news is the trend's moving the right way. Abbey Wood and Thamesmead East both had higher crime levels in 2024 and 2025, so Thamesmead Moorings stacks up reasonably well locally.
Early 2026 figures show the improvement's continuing, which suggests the downward trend is holding firm.
