Is London Safe for Women to Live?

London isn't too unsafe but you need to be cautious and very observing of your surroundings. Phone/bag snatching has increased in many areas. In the evening, it is usually okay but sometimes there are strange people around. I've been followed once, and he went away as soon as I started speaking on the phone so be cautious after a night out.

Is not safe nowdays. So take care of yourself and your phones . Take care of your gadgets , as there are lots of biciclist that they will try to rip everything from you . With the buses and the trains , be careful with the homeless people and just look around you at all times . Stay aware! London is beautiful , nu now it just became like this bc of the lack of rules .

Parts of London are definitely safe but there are pockets across the city that are dodgy - like all cities. I definitely feel safe during the day but there are a lot of phone muggings by men on bikes which is distressing. I’d recommend getting a wrist strap for your phone and keeping your wits about you.

Just be careful - have a secure bag and be careful with using your phone out as some people can get there's snatched. Don't carry around lots of cash- card is everywhere. Nothing different to any other city safety wise

Compared to New York City, I feel relatively safe here. I have never been harassed while walking alone and even walking alone at night, I never felt like I was ever in danger. Of course I stay away from rumored bad areas, but in East London, I feel safe in my Neighborhood.

London is safe on the whole during the day. You have to be aware of pickpockets or people stealing phones from your hand when walking down the street. At night, I would be a lot more cautious and try to avoid walking long distances by yourself.

London is a very busy city, where a lot of people spend most of their time. The weekend evenings are especially busy; it looks like the city never sleeps. You could meet a lot of strange people on public transport and the streets, but it's not really dangerous.

Pretty safe! May get cat called in some areas but rare for you to be followed home or physically intimidated or attacked. Keep personal belongings close whenever youre in busy areas and do not take phones out in public/ on the street if you can avoid it. Need to use maps? Go in a shop or somewhere off the road to see else it may be snatched.

London a bustling city, you mostly feel safe because we are super congested with people. Every corner there is someone and whenever o have asked for help someone will. Only issues are catcalling still very much am issue on nights out and even on busy streets the men do not care. They think they're "shooting their shot" but it can feel more annoying than intimidating. Phone snatching happens on busy roads and to men and women alike. Especially on busy roadsides with lots of bikes or moped passing.

Certain areas of London are more dangerous then others for things like pick pocketing and getting your phone stolen. Thieves spot tourists and know who to target. As long as you stay aware it is mostly safe

Couple travel experience

London was our home for almost 6 months now, and what a life changing experience! My wife and I walked at night almost everyday, going trough the dark canals and we never had problems with safety. I think the rule here is mind your own business and your gonna be fine! I definitely recommend living here for a while, give a little time for the city, you definitely will feel at home after the first month. Eat at home is my number 1 rule for saving money and East London can offer the most amazing foods for a reasonable price! We'll definitely gonna miss London and I'm willing to get back whenever we can.

Couple travel experience

Safety: depends, we (me and friend L.) stayed in a rather unsafe area named Barking. It wasn’t bad but me and her decided that, IF we would revisit London, we wouldn’t go back to Barking. Things to do: we took some “tourist busses” to Stonehenge and Harr Potter Studio. It was amazing! And some sightseeing throughout the big city. Food: This was a bit harder to get some food as vegan, but not impossible! Accommodation: Ibis Hotel in Barking, do not recommend. Transport: Train or Black Cab, since they went on a lot of strikes while we were here. Most public transportation was impossible

Family travel experience

I was in London for the second time in the winter of 2022. As expected, it was awesome. The people in London are very, very nice and open. When you think you have discovered everything, you always find new beautiful corners.

Group travel experience

i was quite disappointed with london. everything was sooo expensive and the sky was always gloomy. i loved their accents though, and the people are amazingly nice. but the place was cold and hard and attractions like big ben and london eye were slightly underwhelming to see
