tbf, NY had over 2200 murders in 1990, so there’s quite a way to go to equal that (and I don’t think we will).

Whilst the number of murders in London is terrible, it’s important to focus on medium term trends, rather than a couple of recent data points - There were 116 murders in London in 2017, fewer than half New York’s annual total of 290, and in the two previous years, London’s murder rate was around a third of New York’s.
