Creating safer streets and public spaces for everyone

We’re making our local streets feel safer for everyone by making street harassment an offence.

New borough-wide restrictions now prohibit unwanted verbal or physical attention in Hammersmith & Fulham that's likely to make people feel harassed or unsafe, including but not limited to:

• Sexualised comments, propositions or gesture
• Persistent questioning
• Following someone
• Sexist, homophobic, or transphobic slurs
• Flashing or exposing intimate body parts
• Non-consensual physical contact
• Whistling or catcalling.

Report it

Residents can help make H&F safer by reporting areas where they feel unsafe or have witnessed harassment using the map tool below.

To arrange to meet with our Law Enforcement Team Officers and show them specific locations of concern, call 020 8753 1100 and select option 3, or email report-harassment@lbhf.gov.uk. This local knowledge will help officers target their patrols more effectively.

Help is at hand

If you have been a victim of street harassment, please contact CSU@lbhf.gov.uk. Our specialist officers will be able to review your case and provide tailored, confidential support.

In an emergency, always call 999.
