Weybridge is safe, just a little less safe than the rest of a very safe borough. Its crime rate runs about a tenth above Elmbridge's. Unemployment barely registers. The crime mix looks much like the national one. Being the busiest corner of a calm borough is a problem plenty of towns would happily swap for.
Surrey Police recorded 1,806 crimes across the Weybridge area in the year to May 2026, and the published rate for the same period was about 69 crimes per 1,000 residents. That puts the area roughly 10% above the average for Elmbridge as a whole. The figure covers a full twelve months, June 2025 to May 2026, so it smooths out the odd bad week in either direction.
Elmbridge's own rate over that year was about 63 per 1,000. Put side by side, 69 against 63 is a gap, and a modest one. Weybridge has the station, the High Street and the shops that most of the borough's quieter residential streets do without, and a town with a centre tends to sit near the top of its borough's table for that reason alone.
The neighbourhood texture is comfortable. The area averages about 3,660 people per square kilometre, unemployment was about 3% at the 2021 census and only about 2% of households were overcrowded. Those are the numbers of a place with money and room. The worst thing on the local record is old: the station building was destroyed in an arson attack in January 1987, and the town has kept a fairly low profile ever since.
The mix of what gets reported tracks the national picture closely. Violence and sexual offences, the largest category almost everywhere and a broad legal grouping that includes common assault without injury, make up about 32% of crimes in the Weybridge area against about 35% nationally, so slightly below. Anti-social behaviour is about 16%, level with the national 16%. Shoplifting at about 9% and public order at about 9% both run a little above the national shares of about 8% and 7%, as do other theft and criminal damage at about 8% each against about 7%. The above-average categories are the ones a town centre with shops in it produces. For a specific street, the police's own street-level crime map is worth a look for the few months either side of a viewing, since a borough-wide comparison cannot tell one road from the next.
After a report, the outcome depends on the force more than the street. Across the whole of Surrey, Surrey Police charged a suspect in about 11% of cases over the year to May 2026, against about 12% nationally, which puts it 30th of 42 forces in England and Wales. About 36% of its cases were closed with no suspect identified. That is a force-wide measure of what happens after a crime, and it says nothing about how likely one is in Weybridge. It does mean that a stolen bike in Surrey is more likely to be replaced than recovered.
Weybridge is middling on safety only by the high standards of its own borough. The rate is a little above Elmbridge's and the mix is ordinary, which makes it a safe place to live with the usual town-centre wear and tear.
