Solo travel

First time (and so far, only time) solo travelling and it was the most amazing experience ever! Met a lot of awesome people, tried authentic middle eastern and chinese food for the first time. Very friendly people, didnt have a problem with pickpockets or scams. Stumbled upon a pro-palestine protest and regained my hope in humanity, would definitely go again!!

I went to London just for a day (which sounds crazy), but it’s even crazier that I wnet there for book shopping! But while I was there, I really admired my surroundings, the scenery, the architecture and the people. I will definitely go back for a longer time 🥰

It was awesome to see Londons iconic sights and learn about its history!!! Since it is a major city the prices and safety tend to reflect this but overall I had no negative experience traveling here. Would recommend 💂🏻‍♂️🎡🛤️

really loved it, can recommend felt safe in my neighborhood (covent garden), would avoid areas like brixton at night, but at 11pm it still felt fine. same with camden, as long as the market is opened it's fine, but i wouldn't feel safe at night watch out for your phone, i've seen people get theirs stolen

Central London definitely gets really busy - most people know when you come to London you need to be careful with your phone! It's not a regular occurrence but be cautious of pickpocketing. If walking alone at night, be careful, avoid going on all alone - at least have someone you can be on call with just to feel safer.

London is safe depending on areas you are and what time you are at. If it’s good area such as Mayfair, Battersea, Chelsea, etc., you’re good to go even late at night I believe. But if the area is Barking, Plaistow, East Ham, late at night, I highly doubt.

I've grown up in London, so I might have a new Yorker mentality; I believe stick to yourself, don't get involved or make eye contact with random suspicious people on the street and you'll be okay. There's not much catcalling in London so you won't really be harassed (maybe if you're being extra boisterous while drunk). Our crackheads aren't that bad but don't give them something to look at. Soho/Tottenham court road has many homeless & degenerates at night time (past 12am).

Pickpockets everywhere, unfortunately. All the time you have to pay attention to your phone that’s uncomfortable also dangerous because they could take it from you and you can’t do nothing. Even the police
