How safe is SL6?
In Jun 2026, SL6 was roughly in line with the recent 1-month average for this area. Recorded crime is not the same as risk: city-centre and high-footfall outcodes record more crime simply because more people pass through them, and recorded figures reflect reporting and policing as well as offending.
