Is London Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

I COULD NOT RECOMMEND LONDON MORE!!! I felt so safe in London, and the public transit was super easy to navigate. Being out after dark I did not feel uneasy at all. So much to do and see could easily be a week trip!

Family travel experience

We went there to the Harry potter Museum. It was fantastic. We also travel to Yorkshire and I can recommend the small town for a nature trip. It was perfectly for a family trip. We felt welcomed everywhere and people were friendly and helpful. It was safe.

London is an Amazing City : architecture, museum, entertainment, shopping, green parles, live music & beer, English breakfast in a pub, antiques shop, Notting Hill, Camden Market... There is something to explore for everyone. I feel safe in this City. People are very polite. The streets and the underground were very clean. You can easily walk alone by day. At night, you must have "bon sens". Like every cities, some neighbourhood are less friendly. But you can enjoy Downtown with safety. Bonus : museum are free.

Solo travel experience

London is a fantastic but heavily crowded city. With a lot of beautiful architecture and interesting history it is a city you must visit at least once. There is good food and nice shopping. I felt very safe going there.

I was a bit worried about the safety , but my expérience was really great i had no problem and everyone was very kind to me. A lot of intersting things to do for example the museum of natural history and the museum of science who are both free. The only négative thing is the prices.

Solo travel experience

London was great, I had lots of fun and met incredible people, and I felt super safe there! It was definitely as expensive as I thought it would be… and with so many airports it’s such a hustle to move from one to another one, and super expensive as well But overall, a great experience!!

I recommend Four Seasons in Chinatown. Their roasted duck was so good I ate half a duck myself on my solo trip. Stayed in zone 1 and didn’t feel dangerous. Can’t take much pictures as a solo girl. As long as I put my phone in my jacket pocket, I’m safe

Solo travel experience

London was my first solo trip and I really enjoyed it because the people are very welcoming and the atmosphere is really nice. I did shopping in many thrift stores, I took a lot of pictures and I visited many museums. And I always felt safe during my trip.

Solo travel experience

I went to London during the pandemic solo while I was only 18 yo. Coming from Athens London did feel safe to me but it might have been the fact that during the pandemic it wasn't as busy as usual. I liked the food , you could find every cuisine in different price range but I don't remember any restaurants name to recommend. Going around with public transport was very easy and convenient.

Solo travel experience

I felt safe but it was very crowded and expensive. I recommend to get a ticket to the hop on and hop off buses then you will be able to sightsee around London without having to walk a lot while carrying your backpack. I stayed in the walrus hostel and it was very nice, the hostel is also a bar so it’s a good option if you want to have some drinks at night without worrying too much.

London is as safe as the next big city. Keep your wits about you, use your common sense and you should generally feel safe enough. Although Londoners tend to mind their own business, they do tend to speak if there is an injustice. Emergency services are easily accessible.

I would say London is fairly safe city for women. Some days night tube is running all night, so easy to get home even at night. You can ask for Angela shots in all bars which means the bar will be notified if you feel unsafe with your date.

It was fun but expensive. The weather constantly changes and you are lucky if you see the sun during your London visit. Prices differ depending on where you eat and where you stay. The closer you are to the center, the more expensive things especially food will get

I spent a month in London and loved it! Museums are amazing and the best thing: are free!! Lots to do and even if you don’t wanna spend much money, you can still enjoy the city! It’s easy to get around by public transport. Lots of nice parks to visit and you can see foxes and squirrels 🐿️ Enjoy!!
