Crime in Epsom, Surrey
2,043 crimes were recorded within 600 m of the centre of Epsom in the 12 months to August 2026, about 170 a month. That is the 2nd highest of the 49 Surrey towns compared, so it sits in the busier quarter. Busy town centres record more crime because more people pass through, so this says little about the quieter residential streets around them. That is well above the median town, as larger town centres with shops and stations usually are.

How to read this
Police.uk records the approximate location of each crime, and the count here covers a square about 1200 m across centred on the town. A busy high street records more crime than a quiet residential road, so a street-by-street check matters more than the town figure.
