The most and least dangerous places to live in Hillingdon can be revealed after the latest crime statistics were published by the Metropolitan Police.

The figures reveal the borough's policing areas with the most reported crimes - as well as the least - throughout August.

Figures recorded by the Met - available on www.police.uk - show that a total of 2,025 crimes were reported in the borough during August, with crimes being broken down by ward and type of crime commited.

We have ranked Hillingdon's policing areas in order of the amount of crimes recorded, with a break down of the five "most dangerous" areas.

1.) Yiewsley - 197

The figures show Yiewsley to be the most dangerous ward in the borough with 197 reported crimes.

If you look at those figures in more detail, 55 of those crimes are for anti-social behaviour, 43 for violent and sexual offences, and 23 for vehicle crime.

It is worth noting that most of the crime take place on the Yiewsley/West Drayton border.
