Introduction to St Pancras's crime statistics

Crime Risk Scores
St Pancras • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within St Pancras has a crime risk score of 712. This is based on analysis of 162 nearby areas within St Pancras, with "most" referring to roughly two thirds of the nearby locations.
Crime risk scores are on a scale of 1 to 1,000 and consider the severity of the crimes involved, as determined by sentencing guidelines. A score of 1 represents the lowest risk, and 1,000 the highest risk. This approach ensures that - unlike overall crime rate figures - bicycle theft is not given the same importance in St Pancras's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.
Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in St Pancras, crime risk scores are typically around 712, while in Camden they are average 632.
Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 756 (708 for Camden), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 778 (Camden 761).
Trends in Crime Risk
St Pancras
Calculated via Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loess, the Seasonality Adjusted line represents the original data with seasonality subtracted, and the Trend line has been plotted unadjusted. Overall trend direction has been identified using the Mann-Kendall trend test, and rate calculated from the slope of the best-fit line identified from linear regression.
No trend could be found in St Pancras's crime risk scores over the last 10 years, and the trend may well be static.
Looking at the previous five years, the trend in St Pancras's crime risk score is up by 38%. While potentially a good indicator of the overall risk trend, cross-referencing with major cultural events and Covid's impact during this time is advised.
Over the last year, St Pancras's crime risk score has shown a downward trend of approximately 7%, indicating that the risk profile is going down. This is an extremely short time period for crime trend analysis, and caution should be exercised when interpreting this figure.
