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.

| Supermarket | 20 |
| Petrol Station | 20 |
| Clandon Gardens | 15 |
| Regent's Park Road | 12 |
| Nursery Road | 10 |
| Sports/recreation Area | 9 |
| Claverley Grove | 7 |
| Victoria Avenue | 6 |
| Claigmar Gardens | 5 |

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.
