Feltham is about as safe as the rest of Hounslow. Its crime rate matches the borough's almost exactly. Violence makes up a slightly smaller share than it does nationally. Anti-social behaviour makes up a larger one. Feltham's trouble is more about nuisance than danger, and nuisance is still something you have to live with.
The Metropolitan Police recorded 4,928 crimes in Feltham in the year from June 2025 to May 2026, a published rate of about 116 per 1,000 people. That is roughly level with the borough average. The gap is small enough that a few dozen incidents either way would close it, so Feltham should be read as level with the borough, with no win to claim.
Across the London Borough of Hounslow as a whole, the rate for the same year was about 117 per 1,000, against Feltham's 116. On these figures, moving between Feltham and the rest of the borough makes no real difference to crime.
Feltham is a busy place. On average there are about 10,580 people per square kilometre, about 14% of households are overcrowded, and unemployment was about 5% at the 2021 census. None of those numbers explains the crime rate on its own, but they describe the kind of place that produces it: lots of people, close together, and not much room in the house. With that many neighbours that close, you will hear a fair amount of them.
The mix of crimes matters more than the total. Violence and sexual offences, the biggest category almost everywhere, make up about 33% of Feltham's recorded crime against about 35% nationally. That category runs from serious assault down to common assault with no injury, so Feltham's slightly lower share is the more useful part of that statistic. Anti-social behaviour makes up about 24% against about 16% nationally, the one category where Feltham is well above the national pattern. The rest are close to national shares or a little below: shoplifting about 7% against 8%, criminal damage and arson 7% against 7%, public order 6% against 7%, and vehicle crime 5% against 5%. Anti-social behaviour is the category where Feltham stands out, and it means rowdiness and disturbance much more than danger.
For the whole Metropolitan Police area, about 10% of crimes end with a suspect charged, against about 12% nationally, which puts the force 33rd of 42 in England and Wales. About 53% of the force's cases close with no suspect identified at all. These are London-wide figures, and they measure what happens after a report, not how likely a crime is in Feltham. They do answer the question of whether anyone gets caught, and the answer is usually no. One local police story from 2024 involved a different force altogether. A Surrey Police officer was removed from frontline duties after repeatedly driving his patrol car into a heifer called Beau Lucy on Raleigh Road.
Feltham's safety is middling, about level with the borough on the main figures, with more anti-social behaviour than the national pattern and slightly less violence.
