Where it was recorded
The police publish an approximate map point for each offence, never an address. A street named here means an offence was recorded on or near it — often at a junction, a car park or a parade of shops that serves as the nearest reference point, which is why busy streets dominate.
| On or near | Offences |
|---|---|
| Petrol Station | 20 |
| Supermarket | 17 |
| Station Road | 11 |
| Parking Area | 10 |
| Bentley Way | 9 |
| Albert Road | 5 |
| Galdana Avenue | 4 |
| East Barnet Road | 4 |
| Netherlands Road | 4 |
| Hastings Close | 4 |
| Duncan Close | 3 |
| Bulwer Road | 3 |
How to read these figures
These are offences recorded by the Metropolitan Police, not offences committed. A rise can mean more crime, better reporting, or a change in how something is classified, and anti-social behaviour in particular reflects how often people call it in. Figures for one month in one area are a small sample: treat a change of a handful of offences as noise rather than a trend.
