Crime plunges by 14% in London as Sadiq Khan hits out at claims capital is a 'dystopian hellhole'

Crime in London has decreased by 14%, with 35,000 fewer neighbourhood offences recorded over the past year. Sadiq Khan has challenged claims depicting the capital as a dystopian hellhole, attributing such narratives to coordinated disinformation from bots, trolls, and hostile foreign actors. Despite these attacks, officials assert that London remains one of the safest cities of its size globally, welcoming five million visitors during the summer to enjoy its museums, galleries, and major events.
