This equated to a rate of 58.7 offences for every million passengers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It was followed by Cockfosters, the northern terminus of the Piccadilly line, with 57.4 crimes per million passengers, and then King\u2019s Cross St Pancras with 51.4.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Since Sir Sadiq Khan became Mayor in 2016, Tube crime rates have more than doubled, from nine per every million journeys to more than 21 last March.
