There were 109 homicides last year but the mayor says the 'level of violence remains too high'.
The figures were released as the Met said it was increasing patrols in areas where children had been robbed of mobile phones and expensive clothing while on their way home from school, to help tackle crime affecting youngsters.
Sir Mark said: "We're the police, we can suppress violence, we focus as hard as possible on arresting the most dangerous people... but we need partners like this to work with who can grab those kids at the right moment in their life and turn it around and give them purpose.""London is a fantastically safe global city. Of course no city's perfect, but if you look at crime rates... it's a safe place to live and work and enjoy yourself," the commissioner said.
But he said the solution also lay in community projects such as the boxing club in Ilford, which can provide early diversions for young people at risk of being drawn into crime. Scandals such as the strip-search of black schoolgirl Child Q by officers have damaged trust. Tactics such as stop-and-search, which both the commissioner and the mayor say are a vital tool in taking weapons off young people, are also controversial.
