Hillingdon Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Hillingdon recorded 3,368 crimes, equating to a crime rate of 10.2 per 1,000 residents—39.7% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure reflects the area’s position as a densely populated urban district within Greater London, where high population density and commercial activity likely contribute to elevated crime levels. The top three crime types were violence and sexual offences (22.5% of total), anti-social behaviour (20.0%), and vehicle crime (9.9%). These categories align with Hillingdon’s character as a mixed-use area with a significant retail presence, commuter traffic, and social hubs that may drive both violent and property-related offences. Seasonal factors, including the lead-up to Christmas and the timing of Bonfire Night, may have influenced patterns, particularly in vehicle crime and public order offences. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, whereas Hillingdon’s rate of 2.3 per 1,000 is 11% below, suggesting a slightly lower incidence of this category compared to the national average. However, anti-social behaviour in Hillingdon is 98% above the UK average, a stark divergence that could be attributed to the area’s demographic profile or local policing priorities. The data also highlights a 150% above-average rate for vehicle crime, consistent with the presence of major roads and parking facilities that may create opportunities for such offences. These findings illustrate the nuanced interplay between local conditions and broader national trends, emphasizing the need for targeted strategies to address specific crime drivers in Hillingdon.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime types. Drug-related offences surged by 54.9%, jumping from 144 to 223, marking one of the most pronounced increases. Robbery also rose sharply, with a 27.7% jump from 47 to 60 incidents. Vehicle crime climbed by 20.3%, potentially linked to increased traffic during Black Friday shopping. Conversely, bicycle theft dropped by 58.1% to 18 cases, suggesting possible improvements in security measures or reduced opportunities for theft. Anti-social behaviour, though still the second-highest category, fell by 22.5% to 674 incidents, a decline that may reflect seasonal changes or community interventions. Hillingdon’s rate of anti-social behaviour is 98% above the UK average, highlighting a stark contrast to national trends. These shifts underscore the complex dynamics influencing local crime patterns.

Hillingdon’s crime rate in November 2025 fell slightly to 10.2 per 1,000 residents, a 4.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 10.7. This translates to roughly 112 crimes reported daily, highlighting the persistent frequency of incidents in the area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 98 residents, a figure that underscores the scale of criminal activity relative to the local population. With a population of 329,185, Hillingdon’s crime rate remains higher than the UK average, but the month-on-month decline suggests potential shifts in patterns or policing efforts. The daily crime count, while consistent with prior months, reflects the challenge of maintaining public safety in a densely populated urban district. This context is critical for residents and local authorities to assess trends and allocate resources effectively.
