International tourism in England was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to an overall reduction in international travel. As the restrictions were lifted in 2022, England tourism rebounded, reaching just above 31 million in 2022, marking an increase of nearly 25 million compared to 2021. This, however, is still below the pre-pandemic visitor figures.

Important to note: the increase in visitors also marks an increase in crime. So, if you’re planning a trip to the England’s most visited cities, we’ve got you covered.

Crime risk scores are multiples of the national median crime risk. A score of 1x risk is equal to the national median, and a score of 0.5x indicates that the area is half as risky. While PCI cannot predict if you will be the victim of a crime, it is important to know your crime risk so you can make informed decisions.
