Is London Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

My experience in London was quite nice. I honestly suggest staying more than 2 days because I felt like i didn't have enough time to see things. I just started traveling, so I don't know how to plan a trip, but I guess I'm gonna get used to this

Loved going back to London after a few years! We couldn't get any tickets to the HP studios so we got a tour of the city that brought us to some filming locations which was a nice alternative while visiting! We visited some pretty touristy places for the rest of the trip but it was nice! Still quite expensive but it's London so we knew what to expect :)

Solo travel

Places to visit: I love museums and they were all free, you only need to have reservation tickets but sometimes they didn’t even asked for them. Accommodation: I stayed at Bowden Court hostel and I really recommend it because the zone is perfect, it’s clean and safe. They give you two meals a day and you can have lunch outside if you want to try restaurants or something else. Safetyness: I felt safe all the time but I didn’t really went out really late. Mostly day visiting for me. Budget: you can do MANY things that are completely free in London like visiting parks, churches, food markets, historical places, museums and galleries, watching the change of guard, etc

Family travel

I felt very safe at day and at night. I recommend to eat Fish & Chips and Full English Breakfast. Both is very good. London is 7/10 expensive. I stayed at a hotel in paddington and it was very pretty.

Solo travel

London is a super fun city! This was my first solo travelling experience and I would really recommend this city if u are thinking of a place where to go alone for the first time. My advice is: choose a hotel/hostel in the center (I stayed at Wombat’s city hostel and it was super cute), use the bus (much cheaper and easier to understand) to get around, don’t go at night in places u haven’t visited during the day

Solo travel

I felt extremely save in London overall, regarding the things you usually hear about cities that size. People were extremely helpful and nice. Most of the times, museums were free to enter as well! Everything else, like food and accommodations were way more expensive.

London is a beautiful city with a lot of things to do, I really recommend visiting this city, the only thing is it's expensive but the monuments and the experience there is really worth it, so don't hesitate to go there !

Group travel

I generally felt safe in London because there are always a lot of people and a lot of light. I spent most of my time near Chinatown (I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND GOING AT NIGHT!) where I would walk a maximum of 1 hour from there. I was sleeping about 10 minutes from Chinatown next to the British Museum and for 1 night the price was okay, however for longer it was definitely too expensive. If you are planning to visit the British Museum, it is definitely worth a full day as there is so much to see!

Solo travel

I definitely felt safe in London, it was very windy and somewhat rainy typical for November! It was a solo trip I took — I stayed the first days near Brick Lane, and HIGHLY recommend. I splurged for a hotel, and enjoyed good sleep and walkable spots to check out. After I stayed at a hostel where the bunk above me was coughing up so I ended getting sick, however, I enjoyed the FREE museums, so many! The tube imo wasn’t too hard to navigate in the City. I did a couple of walking tours, boat tour that were very educational. My budget was limited didn’t overspend, nor did I drink alcohol which saves money ;) Def try the cardamom buns!!

I felt safe but very lost lmao London is a very beautiful city but huge so felt very small. The food was great ( I only eat ethnic foods so ..) But so freaking expensive omggg like how do people live there

Depends solely on the area, but mugging and phone snatching is basically a rite of passage that even the police does nothing about. In terms of gendered violence, it isn’t as much of a concern, but there have been a few instances of drunk/ drugged up homeless men following girls from tube stations.

It really depends on the aerea so it’s quite difficult to judge, that said, crimes can happen anywhere no matter how safe you are being. I personally never experienced getting robbed but I hear lots of stories from friends where the time and the place didn’t matter. My advice for a safe night out is to be aware beforehand where are you in London, where is nearest tube station to night club or bar, consider if you can afford an uber before going out in certain places.
