Although crime rates may be dropping, a new report suggests LGBT people are still experiencing high levels of abuse in the UK.

A quarter of all reported homophobic crime and a fifth of all reported transphobic crime happens in London.

Compared with figures on other types of hate crime, such as racism, the proportion of homophobic hate crime at a national level is on the rise.

The Met Police's Barking and Dagenham LGBT Liaison Team claimed the rise in the borough was down to increased reporting – but the chairman of Barking and Dagenham's LGBT network disagreed and warned against complacency
