As summer arrives ,opportunist crimes like residential burglary and bike theft typically arise, making it a critical time to secure your home, The Metropolitan Police's Hammersmith Broadway Safer Neighbourhood Team alongside the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham's Dedicated Law Enforcement Team are actively conducting intelligence-led high -visibility and plain-clothes across King Street,the Broadway and local hotspots to deter anti-social behaviour and theft.
Hammersmith Broadway Ward – Crime Prevention Advice Your local Met Police and PCSO team are working with partners to keep Hammersmith Broadway Ward safe. You can help by taking a few simple steps to reduce opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour. Protect your valuables (theft and phone snatches)
Keep phones out of sight when not in use, especially near roads, bus stops and station areas. Use earphones carefully—stay aware of who is around you. Keep bags zipped and worn across your body, with the opening facing inwards. Do not leave phones, wallets, bags, or laptops unattended in cafés or public spaces—even for a moment.
Stay safe when out and about
Stick to well-lit routes, especially after dark. Walk with confidence and stay alert—avoid distractions (phone in hand). If you think you are being followed or feel unsafe, go into a busy place (shop/café) and call for help.
Home and building security
Lock doors and windows even when at home. If you live in a block/estate: do not let unknown people “tailgate” through secure entrances. Report broken communal doors, faulty lighting, and damaged CCTV to the landlord/housing provider.
Vehicle and cycle security
Never leave valuables on show in vehicles (including charging cables, coats, bags). Use a strong D‑lock for bikes and secure the frame and wheels to a fixed object. Record serial numbers/identifiers and consider property marking.
Report concerns early Small issues can grow quickly. Reporting helps us target patrols and partner action.
For emergencies or immediate danger: 999 For non-emergencies: 101 or online reporting If you have information about crime: Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 (anonymous)
Community intelligence matters: tell us about repeat locations, times, and patterns. It helps us direct patrols and joint work with council/housing.
 Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. There are 13 different types of antisocial behaviour that we may be able to help with, including abandoned vehicles, littering or drugs paraphernalia and street drinking. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website. If you have witnessed or experienced antisocial behaviour, you can report it online. If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
