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 |
|---|---|
| Edgware Road High Street | 13 |
| Supermarket | 12 |
| Market Lane | 11 |
| Station Road | 9 |
| Hospital | 9 |
| Symphony Close | 9 |
| Burnt Oak Broadway | 9 |
| Approach Road | 8 |
| Hanshaw Drive | 8 |
| Rectory Lane | 8 |
| Back Lane | 7 |

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.
