London, often perceived as unsafe due to viral misinformation, remains a thriving global city with strong economic ties to India. The city is a leading financial hub, with its insurance market now worth $187 billion, surpassing global competitors. Crime rates are down, with homicides at their lowest in a decade, and targeted policing has effectively reduced incidents like phone snatching by 12% in 2025. The Indian community in London plays a crucial role in its economy, with over 1,100 Indian-owned companies operating in the UK. The recently signed India-UK Free Trade Agreement in July 2025 enhances this partnership, aiming to support India's ambitious infrastructure and clean energy projects. As India grows into the world's third-largest economy by 2031, London is positioned as a key partner, offering expertise in green finance and sustainable infrastructure. Despite the competitive landscape for global investment, London is committed to fostering this relationship and countering false narratives about its safety and openness.
