Is London Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

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. 🌺🤍

Exellent experience!! People are friendly, they helped me to get the right way when i thought i was lost. 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

Family travel

I went for the concert there in 2019 and a lot of people told me that I need to be careful cuz I might get robbed but at the end, we saw the whole London, we were on foot and didn't go on the bus! It was really safe there, nobody approached us that they would acted suspicious and we had the best time od our lives

Solo travel

It was my first solo trip since I was staying near by with a group of friends, but in a different city of the UK. Overall I felt safe, obviously I had to be aware of myself and of my belongings, but I didn’t experience any harassment overall. In the palace I got overwhelmed because of the massive amount of people that were there but the green areas that surrounded the Palace are lovely and perfect to take a break. I was on a students budget so I only carry with me 10€, I used approximately 5€ for the transport and 5€ for the food, since I arrived on a train that I paid previously. A great tip is that if you pay the public transport with the same debit card in one day, it gets to a limit of about 3.5€, so that if you keep paying your trips with that same card it won’t charge you more, so they are basically free trips. It only applies with debit cards and within the safe day. And the food I bought the Meal-Deal that the Sainsbury’s store has where you can chose 1 meal 1 beverage and 1 snack for around 3.50€ , I bought it twice in the day and for me it was enough

It’s been a few years since I’ve been back to London, but I’m so glad I got to visit it again! For me there was a great deal of nostalgia so that makes me a little biased, but I have to say it really is such an exciting place to visit. In spring - especially if the weather decides to be helpful - the parks there are so beautiful and awe inspiring (although don’t forget to bring your allergy medicine, the pollen this time of year is everywhere). St James park is especially incredible, but then again it has always been my favourite. People might disagree with me here, but British food in London is great if you know what to look for. Apart from pretty good foreign cuisine places, there’s a lot of pubs and a decent English breakfast is incredibly popular here. For a quick snack, there’s a Pret A Manger almost on every street, and I absolutely recommend getting a Cornwall pasty at least once at the Paddington station. Although I didn’t go this time, I highly recommend visiting some of the bigger museums there - the science and the natural history and my personal favourites. In general, there’s just so many other attractions to choose from that everyone will find something to do. Travel in London is a little expensive, but overall the tube and the buses are pretty useful for getting around. Taking a train anywhere else is highly expensive though. On the other hand, I stayed in a female only room in a hostel right by Hyde park and for the cheap price it was very comfortable and a great experience overall.

Yes we felt safe Must taste clutted cream and scone for breakfast it was amazing delicious 🤭 Museums some of them are free and very interesting We stayed at our friend and it help us saving money for other things Transport is very comfortable but life is expensive in London But everone must visit London even once in their life😊

As long as you keep to yourself in public it should be fine, however of course there’s been a rise in phone’s being stolen/scams so it’s good to just be aware generally, typically feel safer in central where there’s a lot of people out at night as opposed to the quieter areas in zone 2 and beyond

Recently it got some bad reputation and people saying its getting sketchier, but tbh for a two ladies trip we did not get any complications, you may have to be careful in agglomerations just like any touristic city, but even at night i always felt like there was always someone to reach out in case you didnt felt safe like security at the pubs or the workers, everyone was so nice to us and we had a great experience
