Is London Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Couple travel

I had an amazing experience travelling to London. I met my long distance friend for the first time and made great memories. London is a very pretty city in my opinion and you’ll always find something cool to do even if you just go out spontaneously. I really enjoyed Soho and China town we met cool people there: ) generally felt safe

Group travel

So, I went a lot of time in London with group. It was for my job and it was great, I love this town, I feel safe even in the areas with lot of people ! It's expensive but it's so cool ! I think I do all the touristic attractions and you can do it one, just for tell you already does 😅 For the meal, I will recommand you, wagamama, it's asian and it's a chain but a good one ! And I tried Franco manca, a chain too but it was very good to ! You can try it eyes bliended, if you love italian and mostly the pizzas !

Group travel

I stayed in London for about 3 days. Let me tell you, that was too short. Not only did I feel really safe in London, the sheer amount of things to do really call for you to stay as long as possible.I’d say while London is on the more expensive side it is very possible to travel there on a budget, a lot of the activities are free and the food you can get in supermarkets is pretty nice. Over all an amazing experience

Group travel

I felt generally safe in London. We didn’t have any uneasy encounters with anyone. Except for the museum who didn’t let us in because of my ‘free palestine’ bag. We mostly visited the landmarks. We are big foodies so for us the food was the moment! You can try a lot of amazing things in London. We took the flixbus there and found an affordable stay with a good location. London itsself is very pricey. So even if you find a cheap ticket/ride and stay, you will be spending a lot of money there regardless. Our hotel was nice, very small but clean and close to the metro station! We stayed at the Westbury Hotel in Kensington.

Solo travel

I absolutely loved London! Although it was quite expensive and I felt more worried about my belongings, it was an amazing trip. I went for a conference, got to see all the main attractions and even saw Wicked!

Solo travel

London is a great city to visit!! It feels pretty safe, the tube works well and walking around is really fun because the neibourhoods don’t look alike! The food is great in Chinatown if you like Asian food. I stayed at the smart Hyde park view hostel, it was great!

Solo travel

I went to London last May to meet one of my favourite singer and the overall trip was just a dream come true !! I got to see all my favourite places but also eat a proper English breakfast and go to Nando’s (one of my favourite restaurants haha) with a friend and it was so fun ! I stayed in an hostel and it was quite nice even if not the most comfortable. I definitely recommend doing little trips like this one !!!

Group travel

The activities in London are plently and a lot are free or not very expensive. The architecture is pretty for some part of London. The food is expensive and the sellers in Camden Market are very intrusive. They make you taste a simple of their product and then they are trying to make you pay a whole plate of food even if you say that you do not want to buy from them.

Group travel

We took a 3-day trip with my friend. We stayed in the house on 3rd picture, it's named Iolanthe B&B with great host Rosie. We explored mostly the center of the city, near Tower and Buckingham Palace, but ventured out to Hampstead and Greenwich. We mainly used buses as a cheaper option for transport and we could see some part of the city from them. As for food, definitely try some od the famous markets like Seven dials Market in Soho or Borough Market near London brigde. If you want detailed itinerary of our trip, feel free to reach out 😊

Family travel

The city felt really safe around the center (exept for the pickpockets), but the suburbs where more creepy and dirty. The city is really expensive, and a lot of things I'd have liked to visit where like 25£/per person. But the British Museum is free! For transport, having an Oyster card was nice, but contacless credit card is find also. The bus is less expensive than the subway, but still pretty expensive (≈ 7£/day/person)

Like any major city there is risk of petty crime (phone, wallet etc) but I've never felt unsafe walking around, using public transport. Walking at night depends on the area, however touristy areas and most areas are completely fine, even at 3am!

London is a lovely city to travel, so much going on here! There’s always people around, and the transport is very convenient as well! You will find so many things to do here, some beautiful cafés and park to go to as well!
