It’s okay if you mind your business and stay away from run down areas in the dark. It’s a decent city for Ontario. I would stay cautious from downtown and adjacent areas at night, at least bring a friend.

London is overall a fairly safe and comfortable city to live in. However, like any city, it depends on where you are located and where you choose to be during different times of day. There is a growing issue of homelessness and poverty mainly surrounding the east and central parts of London, but as a young woman I can confirm that I’ve not experienced any sexual harassment or felt in great danger while in these areas. Stay safe and enjoy your time here!
