>On another note, London… has had many fatalities…, so this risk for fatality is a very real problem.

It's a very visible problem, but it caused only 14 deaths in 2013.

In that same year I estimate 32 Londoners were scalded to death by their hot water (126 death/year in England, and London has 26% of the population).
