A global-scale research estimate anchored by official London crime and transport evidence, with United Kingdom-level fallbacks and explicit uncertainty for dimensions without city-level coverage.
Safrom's citywide research estimate is 79/100. Higher scores mean safer on the model's scale. Evidence as of . Confidence: B.
33 areas with estimates. Area evidence as of .
Research estimate centered on London's global city score. Borough variation uses the latest single-month anonymized street-level records from the official UK Police API, weighted toward violence, robbery and traveler-relevant theft, then normalized by the latest Nomis resident population. Commuters, visitors, reporting practices, anonymized locations and a one-month window can materially distort central borough rates; City of London receives lower confidence. Overall only; not travel advice.

Research-only estimates. Scores combine city-local evidence with documented national or regional fallback inputs; confidence communicates uncertainty. They are not travel advice.
alerts are not long-term baseline risk; event footprint may not equal traveler exposure; alert severity cannot be copied directly into Safrom score
country-level only; humanitarian risk framing differs from traveler exposure; composite inputs can overlap Safrom dimensions; current event conditions require separate signals
country-level only; reporting and justice-system differences; latest year differs by country; not traveler-specific
police-recorded offences exclude unreported crime; fraud is primarily handled outside individual police-force data; resident commuter and traveler exposure are mixed; raw counts require a reviewed denominator; data uploaded after February 2024 comes from CONNECT and is not directly comparable with earlier files; City of London is policed separately
country-level only; availability does not measure emergency accessibility; latest year differs by country; distribution within a country is hidden
country-level only; collection is not annual for every country; some values are modeled estimates; resident exposure differs from traveler exposure
police-recorded crime excludes unreported crime; offence volumes mix residents commuters and visitors; acquisitive-crime share is not a traveler victimization rate; City of London Police coverage differs from Metropolitan Police Service coverage
network-level rate does not represent walking cycling taxis or private vehicles; reported incidents may understate victimization; passenger journeys are a transport exposure denominator rather than a resident or traveler population denominator
does not isolate London; U.S.-traveler perspective; Level 2 is driven by terrorism and is not an absolute safety score; narrative guidance requires structured extraction review
country-level only; modeled perceptions rather than traveler incidents; cannot represent neighborhood variation or current events; confidence intervals must not be discarded
boundary validity does not validate or score crime evidence; the official service also publishes other ward vintages so layer 9 and boundary version 2022 must remain pinned; the live boundary and MPS ward code sets have not yet been checksum-reconciled in the current network environment; City of London is excluded from the 32-borough election geography
