It has been good experience until now ! I just came here 5 months ago so I can’t give a real feedback yet but London is really nice a lot of things to do ! Although I didn’t find a decent restaurant yet there is a lot of places to discover haha
Posted: August 6, 2025London felt very safe, I was never worried about my wellbeing. Also, London has a great public transportation system that is simple and efficient. The city is also very walkable and has many activities to do

I had been to London before and done a lot of the touristy things and was only going to be there for two days (just a quick stop before heading to Scotland) so I stopped a couple of places I’ve always wanted to see like Abbey Rd., Studios. London is a very safe city for a woman traveling alone, I took public transportation everywhere…the tube, the train, buses, it’s all very safe for solo women! I even got lucky with amazingly beautiful weather!!
Posted: July 13, 2025The city is intense — busy streets, iconic views at every corner, and a mix of cultures that makes you feel like you're everywhere and nowhere at once. Highlights? Walking along the South Bank at sunset, stumbling into cute bookshops in Soho, and the unbeatable people-watching in Camden. It’s not exactly a “restful” destination (bring good shoes and patience), but it’s definitely unforgettable.

Hey ladies 😊, I visited London last year and I was truly amazed. It's very nice for solo travelling. I felt safe all the time, on the train, buses, and streets. I really liked fish and chips and the traditional English breakfast. It was much better than expected. I must admit I spent more money than I intended to. London is an expensive city, but I feel like every big tourist city is expensive. If you manage your money well, you will be fine. The transportation in London is sooo easy. The trains arrive every 5 minutes. I had a travel card with me that showed every train stop and the direction, I also had Google Maps. Must-see things are Borough Market and eating a beaf burger there. Another must-visit is Camden Town. There are tons of things you can do in London, from visiting famous museums to watching a musical to booking a harry potter tour. whatever you decide to do, if you go, I hope you have an amazing time there. 🌺🤍

The streets are clean, the souvenirs were super cute! And most of it costs £1 🤭 I was there for only 1 day but I will go back soon, because of the athmosfere everywhere and the city❤ ps. there's a wi-fi everywhere so you dont have to worry if you dont have an internet

Moderately safe but varies depending on how rough area is and there is a big discrepancy between boroughs- check the area first. General safety advice would be good to not walk after dark, let someone know where you are going and when, and stay in well lit roads. In general it is safe during the day

Depends heavily on the area and time of day. As a tourist do not stay out late alone, i wouldn't recommend going home alone at night. A lot of phone thieves in central/where tourists go. A lot of homeless people will ask you for stuff, more at night. Sometimes you just have to buy them water, but it can be scary as well. Much much safer in groups
