Is London safe for solo female travelers?

Couple travel

London was very nice. We visited the Warner Bros Studio Harry Potter. This was the best experience in London. On the other days we visited the Sherlock holmes museum in the Baker street 221 B. The London Eye, Big Ben and Tower Bridge. The hole trip was very nice.

Solo travel

I felt very safe in London. I traveled alone at 18 and stayed at The New Linden Hotel, which was central but not too busy. I used the underground by myself to get around and walked a lot. The city system was easy to understand, and I mainly stayed in tourist areas. I always wore my bag crossbody so nothing could be stolen. I was lucky with the weather (22°C and sunny), which made the trip even better. I really enjoyed the city and would love to return – though next time not alone!

Solo travel

I love London, and I’ve been there multiple times, both alone and with my family. I was 15 when I was in London alone for the first time. I stayed with some family, but I was mostly out alone. I feel safe walking around and haven’t had any uncomfortable experiences ‘yet’. I have mostly stayed around Pimlico, Knightsbridge or in Mayfair, love them all and feel safe. The people are relatively nice and open. The food is good and you can find all kind of foods and drinks, the prices are maybe a bit pricey though.

Solo travel

I travel to London alone in February. I met beautiful people and I did gorgeous things. I can recommend you to go to the Sherlock museum (was incredible) I ate at china town every day cause I'm a huge fan of Asian food and it was good every time I loved soho and covent garden so much recommend so much. I literally fell in love with this city, it's engraved in my heart forever. And I visited Iceland ☝️ I don't know what's with this city but I would literally live there forever if I could.

Group travel

I was excited to go and see London for the first time and because I went with a friend I felt quite safe the whole trip. The only security issue we were told to look out for was pickpockets. But luckily nothing got stolen from us and we enjoyed the sunnies version of London

Depends on the area, but generally trust your gut and mind your business, and you'll be fine. Watch out for phone snatchers, though. Knife crime exists but is no more significant than in other major cities in other countries. Don't fall for moral panics.

It is quite safe but I would be aware of backstreets. It is quite safe but I would be aware of backstreets. It is quite safe but I would be aware of backstreets. It is quite safe but I would be aware of backstreets.

Hi all to anyone travelling to London Crime has risen but can still be enjoyed. Top tips are have your bag infront of you,be alert in crowds day/night. Pick the safest option when travelling at night.

as a person who lives there i’m only super worried about my phone being stolen ! which has happened to me 3 times 😭 but in terms of physical safety i think i worry about as much as the next person !!

Typical city, stay vigilant & be outspoken and you will be fine. The laws are unfortunately not in favour of women here, with self defense tools being banned and courts constantly siding against us. Protect women, protect trans people, protect LGBT rights
