  Trying to look it up I came across >In 2017-18 there were 145 homicides in London, of which approximately 80 were carried out using a knife. There were an additional 4,793 incidents of "knife crime with injury". which sadly does seem to be more than daily. That said living in central London I don't see any of it.

    That's pretty appalling but don't forget that London is a city of 9 million people. When you have that number of people in a place there will obviously be crime. It could be argued that 145 deaths and 4,793 incidents is quite low.

      Though it's way more than it was in London say 20 years ago. I'm not sure why the change really.
