| Parking Area | 73 |
| Shopping Area | 45 |
| William Carey Way | 26 |
| Supermarket | 24 |
| Petrol Station | 14 |

| Police Station | 9 |

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.
