Is London Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Overall I had a really good trip, specially important being one of my first solo trips. I stayed on an Airbnb that was exclusively for solo travelling women that made me feel really comfortable and secure, the neighbourhood (Southfields) was great as well. I found London to be an amazing city in terms of safetyness, it of course has some dangers being a big city as all of them but compared to Rome for example (where I lived for a year), London felt super safe, I received no cat calling and wasn’t afraid to walk around alone. Price-wisely it can be expensive, especially the food out, so I would recommend booking a place where you are able to cook so you can save some money. In contrast museums were totally free and I found a lot of activities to do that weren’t expensive. Aside from this some shopping was included on my trip that did up my budget a bit ;). Overall I feel like you can accommodate the trip to your budget. Public transportation was nice, allowed me to get everywhere comfortably, specially the tube which was fast and counts with a ton of stations. You can pay simply with your credit card which is nice as well. Some of the stuff I loved were the vintage and second hand shops, the markets and restaurants from other cultures. But overall my favourite thing was the lively vibe of the city, at least during summer, and the kindness of the people I encountered <3.

Group travel

It was excellent and safely to travel in London. I went to Harry Potter studios which I dreamed about it, and totally worth it. It was safe, you can walk everywhere, and use subway. I really enjoyed and wanna travel in London again

Solo travel

I stayed in London Solo in a hostel for 3 nights and I felt safe. I recommend to visit The Lookout, National history museum and Sky garden. I used public transport and walked to every location. I honestly had an amazing time. :)

I traveled to London for a summer break, and stayed near Bayswater underground station, and had everything near by either by underground or walking. I felt safe and lived in a comfortable area, and even when returning home to the hotel at 11 pm I still felt safe. I can recommend staying in this area when travelling solo.

I spend a little time in London and also in Oxford. I feel really safe. I stayed in a hostel close to the city centre. That was also very good. There is so much to do and the transport really good and easy to handle

Solo travel

I COULD NOT RECOMMEND LONDON MORE!!! I felt so safe in London, and the public transit was super easy to navigate. Being out after dark I did not feel uneasy at all. So much to do and see could easily be a week trip!

Family travel

We went there to the Harry potter Museum. It was fantastic. We also travel to Yorkshire and I can recommend the small town for a nature trip. It was perfectly for a family trip. We felt welcomed everywhere and people were friendly and helpful. It was safe.

Solo travel

London is an Amazing City : architecture, museum, entertainment, shopping, green parles, live music & beer, English breakfast in a pub, antiques shop, Notting Hill, Camden Market... There is something to explore for everyone. I feel safe in this City. People are very polite. The streets and the underground were very clean. You can easily walk alone by day. At night, you must have "bon sens". Like every cities, some neighbourhood are less friendly. But you can enjoy Downtown with safety. Bonus : museum are free.

Solo travel

London is a fantastic but heavily crowded city. With a lot of beautiful architecture and interesting history it is a city you must visit at least once. There is good food and nice shopping. I felt very safe going there.

Solo travel

I was a bit worried about the safety , but my expérience was really great i had no problem and everyone was very kind to me. A lot of intersting things to do for example the museum of natural history and the museum of science who are both free. The only négative thing is the prices.

London is one of those cities in which you need to put good attention on your surroundings. Always keep an eye out and don’t walk flashing your phone and belongings. Phones, bikes, cars and even houses suffer the most in this city.

London is a safe, multicultural metropolitan city where you can be whoever you want to be. There are loads of free things to do, including events, parks, street performances, spoken word events, live music and much more.

Solo travel

London is a beautiful place and if you're new to the city, than its even more exciting and fascinating. It's a great experience for tourists and a must see if you ever visit the UK. I'd recommend jumping on the Uber boat (which serves all different stops along the River Thames) and gives you the opportunity to cruise through London.. Mark my word, it is nore beautiful at night when everything is lit up!

Solo travel

London was alot more underwhelming than I expected. Everything was super expensive and just kind of the same everywhere. It’s just a normal busy city nothing too special about it. The girls I met up with were super nice and without them I wouldn’t have had a good time.
