Some rare good news for once.

But there is a monthly dataset that tells an extraordinary story: London murders. As the below chart shows, they now stand at the lowest since monthly data started being published in 2003. But if you look at how much higher it was back then suggests something extraordinary: London may now be experiencing the lowest number of murders in at least thirty, perhaps forty years. Perhaps longer.

Most of this article is then dedicated to trying to work out if it really is the lowest in London's history. Either way, it is certainly amongst the lowest figures ever.
It also makes London, given its size, one of the world's safest cities. 9 million people live in the city, so it's hardly a backwater. It's safer than Paris, Berlin and pretty much all American cities.
