Hemel Hempstead is fairly quiet at night, but that really depends on what part you are in. I wouldn't advise walking around alone at night though, if you need to go out, I'd be with someone, I have not yet had an incident as if yet, but better to be safe.

I believe Manchester is a relatively safe city, especially when compared to other major urban areas around the world. Like any large city, it has its share of crime, but for the most part, it offers a secure environment for residents, students, and tourists. The city has a strong police presence, especially in busy areas such as the city centre, Northern Quarter, and around universities.

Birmingham is a big city, and with that naturally comes crime. I myself dont live in the best of areas but I feel pretty okay walking around during the night. I love birmingham and it's my home. I'm aware that there's still crime about but if you arent actively looking for that then it can be easily avoided.
Posted: May 12, 2025Pretty safe in the daytime. At night, be cautious as you would normally, keep your valuables safely with you. There will be a lot of catcalling and men trying to flirt, I find it's best to ignore and keep walking. Sometimes I walk into a shop if feeling unsafe.
Posted: May 12, 2025Pretty safe just keep an eye on your drink and your phone! Do NOT walk with your phone just held in your hand. Good chance someone on a motorbike will snatch it from you đ And be sensible - avoid sketchy looking back alleys with no street lights after dark, tell someone you trust where youâre going before meeting up with strangers etc.

Leicester can be safe, as long as you are vigilant and stay away from strangers who give you weird vibes!! Biggest issue is drug users who can be a bit rude / uncomfortable interactions - never be afraid to walk away

Very safe, there is a military base here so the base and marham village are very strict with safety. Lived here since 2020 and never had any issues, there is a great sense of community here and everyone looks out for each other
Posted: May 10, 2025Some parts of Birmingham is safe, some isn't. Years ago it was safer than what it is now. Some people are crazy. Just need to be careful when out and about at night if you're on your own or own. Keep your phone hidden in some areas.
Posted: May 10, 2025For the most part, if you do the regular things we do in any larger city, youâll be fine. Itâs not as bad as Paris or Rome or any of the incredibly large cities though. Just be aware of people walking around you, keep your eyes open and donât walk down alleys alone and you will be fine.
Posted: May 6, 2025Bristol is a safe city for most parts. I never really faced any incidents of physical or verbal harassment or threat from anyone irrespective of the mode of transport, time or place. But it's always advisable to be careful when you are traveling in the dark alleys after dark.

I felt safe during the trip, the food was not really good however. The people were very nice, and the places I have been were beautiful. The transport is good even if the subway can be very crowded. I recommend museums because it's free and Buckingham Palace too very nice, with the guards.

I felt very safe walking around alone I enjoyed visiting the York ghost merchants and the cathedral I mostly walked and a few buses that run very little compared to London. For those who need to leave their luggage for a few hours I recommend Your bag ââLeft Luggage (20 High Petergate, York YO1 7EH)
