You've Been Stabbed by Statistics! How Safe is London Really?

| How Many Fatal Stabbings In London 2022 |
So, How Many Folks Got Poked with a Pointy Object in 2022?
Now, before you imagine a scene straight out of a gladiator brawl, the actual figures are far less * stabby*. While we don't have a specific count of fatal stabbings, reports show there were around 112 homicides in London for 2022. But hold on, homicide doesn't always mean a knife fight in a phone booth. It can include shootings, blunt force trauma (someone getting clobbered with a really big purse, perhaps?), and even poisonings (did someone forget Aunt Mildred hated kippers?).
The Big Takeaway: London is a big city, and with that comes some crime. But keeping things in perspective is key.
Dodging Daggers: Is London More Dangerous Than My Aunt Mildred's Knitting Circle?
Let's be honest, Aunt Mildred's competitive knitting sessions can get brutal. But statistically, London's homicide rate is around 12.7 per million people. That means you're more likely to get struck by lightning (shocking, right?) than become a homicide statistic.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Bottom Line: London is a safe city for the average visitor. Just avoid dodgy alleys after midnight, and maybe pack an umbrella (the weather, not the weaponry).
