Every London borough compared
Twenty-one public measures for each of London’s 33 boroughs — recorded crime, stations, bus routes, schools, Ofsted grades, green space and Census figures — with every number ranked against the other 32.
Inner London
Denser, better connected, more expensive — and where recorded crime rates run highest, partly because daytime populations are not counted.
