Every time these type of stats are released London features heavily. We’ve come to expect our fair city to appear a number of times in the list – after all, there are eight million people here.
As anticipated, Hackney is on there, as is Gipsy Hill. But wait – what’s that at #2 and #3? Herne Hill and Muswell Hill?
The figures came from MoneySupermarket.com, which took 3.1 million home insurance quotes and looked at the people who had reported being burgled before.
