Apparently, Nottingham<\/a> is the most dangerous city outside of London<\/a>. At least, that\u2019s according to a new City Safety Index 2025 put together by\u00a0security training platform\u00a0Get Licensed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company compared police-recorded crime with year-on-year change in crime severity, reoffending and antisocial behaviour, and an FOI-led count of public-space CCTV to rank different places across the nation.<\/p>\n

By those\u00a0metrics, Nottingham is the third most dangerous local authority behind Camden<\/a> and Islington<\/a>, respectively, but above Westminster. Other places on the list include Bristol<\/a>\u00a0in fifth place,\u00a0Newcastle<\/a> in eighth and\u00a0Manchester<\/a> at number 10. The East Midlands city scored a safety score of 2.59 out of 10, while the city\u2019s annual crime rate stands at 118.4 per 1,000 people, putting it among Get Licenced\u2019s top\u00a010 most dangerous places in Great Britain.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s also important to consider the other side of the coin. The City Safety Index shows that crime in Nottingham is actually down 2.33 percent year on year. Plus, it\u2019s also a thriving city centre with top-notch venues and home to the UK’s best restaurant (according to SquareMeal),\u00a0Restaurant Sat Bains<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for the\u00a0safest place in the UK<\/a>? Well, that honour\u00a0went to\u00a0the south London town of\u00a0Sutton. It had an annual crime rate of 61 per 1,000 people and saw a 2.75 percent fall in crime year on year.\u00a0Close behind in second place was the Shropshire borough of Telford and Wrekin<\/a>.<\/p>\n
