Useful Numbers & Contacts for our area
If you see something that doesn't feel right but isn't an immediate emergency — a stranger watching a neighbour's house, a vehicle circling the street repeatedly, someone trying door handles, an unfamiliar person in a communal hallway, or activity that looks like it could be a burglary being planned — report it. You don't need to be certain something criminal is happening; the police would rather hear from you. Provide what you saw, where, when, and a description of people or vehicles (including registration if safe to note). Reports help the local team build a picture of what's happening and deploy officers where needed.
Our streets fall within Stanley Ward, one of 18 wards in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The ward has a dedicated Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) of Met Police officers who work with residents on local crime priorities including burglary, robbery and vehicle crime. Contact them to raise persistent local problems, discuss concerns or find out about ward panel meetings where policing priorities are set.
The best way to contact the SNT is by email. The phone number below is for general SNT enquiries only — it is not a reporting line and is not manned 24/7. To report a crime, always use the Met Police website, call 101 (non-emergency) or 999 (emergency).
Met Engage is a free community messaging service run by the Metropolitan Police. Once registered, you receive email updates about crime, policing activity and safety advice specific to your ward. It also lets you feed back on local policing priorities, helping the SNT focus on the issues that matter most to residents. We encourage all residents to sign up.
Uniformed constables with police powers patrolling parks and open spaces across the borough, including St Luke's Gardens. Contact them for anti-social behaviour, drug use, dog-control issues, byelaw breaches, vandalism, rough sleeping or safety concerns in St Luke's Gardens or any other RBKC park.
Single point of contact for most street-level problems. Available 8.30am–5.30pm.
Use Streetline to report:
Out-of-hours line for urgent noise, nuisance and late-night disturbances when Streetline is closed.
Stanley Ward is represented by three councillors (all Conservative as of 2026). Contact them about local issues such as planning concerns, traffic and parking, street maintenance, housing or council services.
Surgery — a surgery is a regular drop-in session where councillors meet residents in person to discuss issues, without an appointment. Ours is held on the third Friday of every month (except August), 10–11am, at Chelsea Old Town Hall, King's Road, SW3. Just turn up.
