Is Nottingham Safe for Women? Crime in Nottingham

Generally, during the day, Nottingham is a pretty safe city even for solo female travellers. It's important to stay within the more popular areas of the city centre and not to venture alone, especially at night to some of the rougher neighbourhoods. The public transport system is excellent, very regular and easy to navigate and I generally feel safe using it. There are lots of green spaces and again, feel very safe during the day with other people around. I would not walk around on my own at night (after 11pm) although I would get the tram home at that time.

I would say it is pretty safe, same as any place there is always the chance of something dodgy happening, but I'd probably say this is only really at night when everyone has had a drink and people can get rowdy

Safe city in general day or night. There are some areas I would not walk alone outside the city centre but can give advice if needed. It is very safe to walk anywhere during the day time. Generally people are friendly and would help

It’s a safe city, no pickpocketer. I live in Sherwood and use public transportation a lot at night to get home from the city center. Buses run until 3am and I never had a bad experience traveling early in the morning or late at night alone

I grew up in Nottingham in a pretty racist and poor bit of the city, but we never really had many incidents if we did it was children. There are definitely safer areas in Nottingham, just avoid staying out too late alone in the city centre and around it. You can also look on the Nottingham Post website to see the crime news. I’d recommend staying in places like Beeston or Attenborough.

Nottingham city centre is very small and with only 4/5 surrounding areas that are best to avoid alone at night. (Sneinton {some of it further from the city centre}, St Anns, Lenton {some}, Forest fields and the meadows) however it is just residential so there is no reason to visit. I also lived in Manchester for 5 years and I always feel 100X safer in Nottingham.

The city centre is overall safe. It might be there are few strange people you can meet in the surrounding areas especially at night so I won't suggest to walk by yourself at night. CCTVs are in place everywhere which of course makes things better.

Nottingham is like many other cities in the UK, there are many young groups. Like most other cities, there are rougher areas but also nicer ones. The city centre is busy and not the nicest. There are lots of youths, however nights out in Nottingham can be a mixed bag. There have been many incidents on weekend nights out so always be wary and I wouldn’t recommend being alone on a night out.

Solo travel

Currently in Nottingham for the weekend. It's a nice city. A lot of different places to go eat! Went for some painting in Pixie studio which was really fun - it's a tattoo place that does painting once in a while. Really cute vibe and really lovely ladies!
