Is London Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Family travel

I loved London such a beautiful city with character and historical sites. We had really good weather which later on I knew is unusual cause it was sunny all week, I think the city was happy to welcome us. I’ve been there three times and I seriously consider to move permanently when I graduate.

Solo travel

Not as pretty as I imagined, well it was certainly not Paris! Really different style (no way huh?) I had difficulty with the public transport (money and names) I would suggest to use an Oyster card and City mapper (app), If you do use your bank card don't forget to put it on World and know It'll close off some of your money (for me it was like 25 € for each day I used the transport)😭 it'll give it back, I hope, cuz they have a daily/weekly fare cap(total). Other than that.... Natural history...

Group travel

It was my first trip so far in my life!! It was also the first time I flew by plane! I was in London with my two best friends and it was the best time. London it’s a beautiful city with soul. I’m in love with architecture. However, the food did not convince me. I was also in Warner Bros Studio in the world of Harry Potter it was very magical experience!!

Group travel

London with my favourite people 🇬🇧✨ Exploring the city, laughing until late, making unforgettable memories and enjoying every second together. The kind of trip you wish could last forever. ❤️ and more

Family travel

It was only a weekend trip to see the ABBA Voyage experience, so we didn’t have much time to explore. London is not a cheap city but neither is most major cities in Europe. I enjoyed my time there and generally felt pretty safe, though I was always around some of the people I travelled with.

Group travel

It was great, everyone was really nice. Definitely worth looking at thr small independent shops they were great and felt like home. Would go again as only went for a few days. But would highly recommend.

Solo travel

First time (and so far, only time) solo travelling and it was the most amazing experience ever! Met a lot of awesome people, tried authentic middle eastern and chinese food for the first time. Very friendly people, didnt have a problem with pickpockets or scams. Stumbled upon a pro-palestine protest and regained my hope in humanity, would definitely go again!!

Solo travel

I went to London just for a day (which sounds crazy), but it’s even crazier that I wnet there for book shopping! But while I was there, I really admired my surroundings, the scenery, the architecture and the people. I will definitely go back for a longer time 🥰

Solo travel

It was awesome to see Londons iconic sights and learn about its history!!! Since it is a major city the prices and safety tend to reflect this but overall I had no negative experience traveling here. Would recommend 💂🏻‍♂️🎡🛤️

Solo travel

really loved it, can recommend felt safe in my neighborhood (covent garden), would avoid areas like brixton at night, but at 11pm it still felt fine. same with camden, as long as the market is opened it's fine, but i wouldn't feel safe at night watch out for your phone, i've seen people get theirs stolen

I don’t personally have issues at night in Central London but my advice would be to walk in open spaces where there are lampposts at night. Some drunk men will try to talk to you but as long as you pretend they’re not there, you’ll be fine.

London is an incredibly safe city if you have your wits, there are people everywhere, all the time. The public transport is populated at all hours. For taxis, I’d use Ubers, as they’re quite cheap and plentiful

Generally pretty safe. Main tourist areas require attention due to phone snatchers and small thieves but otherwise pretty safe. Outside of tourist areas (zone1) residential areas are very safe during the day, obviously different story in the night.

Be aware of pickpockets and phone snatchers in central London - especially Oxford Street. West London and Central London are much safer areas than south and east. Some tube lines run all night over the weekend.

I would be careful of pickpockets especially in central London, such as taking your phones out near the road or even in tube stations. Stabbing I haven’t heard much of but I know it’s in certain areas in London that can be high.

Central London definitely gets really busy - most people know when you come to London you need to be careful with your phone! It's not a regular occurrence but be cautious of pickpocketing. If walking alone at night, be careful, avoid going on all alone - at least have someone you can be on call with just to feel safer.
