The 2011 Census tells us that the population of Hounslow has grown by over 70% in the last 10 years.

58 cars, 0. 62 computer and 0. 11 Playstation). 8. Covent Garden 800. Covent Garden has a crime rate of 54. 55 per 1,000 people. The fact that Hounslow Heath has a crime rate of 53. 85 per 1,000 people is bad for living in there. It's high. Luckily for you and I, the high crime rate is offset by the fact that the city is small and hidden by other suburbs.

Crime rate is low in Hounslow Heath, although not as low as in some parts of the Chiswick area. Whilst it isn’t at the forefront of the crime charts, it is still a good place to live, because the local police are very good at responding and resolving crimes.
3. Syon 838
So, you thought prior to living in Zone 3 that it couldn’t get much safer than the suburbs of zone 2? You were wrong. The areas of Hounslow Heath, Hatton Cross and Brentford post some of the highest crime rates in London. Yet, when it comes to sexual offences, Syon is a cut above the rest with an impressive 838 reports between January 2015 and December 2015. In 2006, a large increase in crime was reported, due to new residential developments.

Hounslow Heath is positioned nationally as being one of the worst for crime.
But why is that? Is it down to meanness or poor policing?. Next up is Syon with 15. 02 offences per 1,000 residents a staggering 6,000 more than Hounslow West. With two parks and sylvan surroundings, it is perhaps not surprising that Syon tops the list. Hounslow Central has a number of poorer areas as you might expect. Like Hounslow West, the area is dominated by council housing. The two stations are separated by just 1km and are the closest on this list so it’s no surprise that criminals look at both as a single target.
