Is London Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

I felt safe during the trip, the food was not really good however. The people were very nice, and the places I have been were beautiful. The transport is good even if the subway can be very crowded. I recommend museums because it's free and Buckingham Palace too very nice, with the guards.

Solo travel

I honestly did not expect to feel as safe as I did in London. I left for a concert (Keane) and had to take the undergrounds and head to the hostel at around midnight and at no moment did I feel threatened. I also regularly go to London alone as it's my favorite place to spend a nice weekend.

Solo travel

I loved my time in London. The people were soooo sweet. I used the underground to get to the National History Museum and I loved every bit of the experience. Loved the night view of the Thames River and the Tower Bridge. I tried a few restaurants around Tower Bridge and they were all very nice, considering I'm a vegetarian. I tried one of the tastiest pastas of my life at Ivy restaurant. The 14 Hills restaurant was a very rich experience as well.

Group travel

I stayed at the trebovir hotel. Really good price for the area, safe, clean but cheap breackfast. I met my Japanese friend who is in England to study English. We visited Notting Hill, Victoria and Albert Museum, Bourough Market, Camden town, ... we had such luck with the weather! All sunny with around 20 25 degree.

Solo travel

I felt moderately safe in London. I think I would have felt much safer if I had booked a hotel in the city center. I know that that's more expensive, but it's really worth it! I had to travel ~45 mins to reach the city center and had to walk ~10mins to the station which I didn't enjoy at night. Be smarter than I am :D

Solo travel

I’ve been on and off in London, now live here so I can give an honest opinion lol. The city is moderately safe, but don’t stay out at night and be aware of thieves at all times. Stay away from Croydon and Peckham. I recommend going to Soho, Regent’s Park, Oxford Circus and Camden Town!! Be weary of your belongings.

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

Group travel

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 :)

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.

Pretty safe just keep an eye on your drink and your phone! Do NOT walk with your phone just held in your hand. Good chance someone on a motorbike will snatch it from you 👍 And be sensible - avoid sketchy looking back alleys with no street lights after dark, tell someone you trust where you’re going before meeting up with strangers etc.

If you stay smart and avoid dark, empty places you’ll be ok. Being aware of your surroundings and not “looking lost” is important or you’ll be followed. Londoners avoid getting into other people’s problems so if you feel unsafe by someone, look directly at the people around you and actively ask for help. People will try to stay out of others personal issues as the assume you might know each other.
