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

Always safe - day and night. From public transports to clubbing. Ubers are everywhere and when walking Keep phones in pockets and in busy bars keep your drinks checked just in case. Overall, a Great city to visit and make new friends!

Can be sketchy at night especially around the tube station, but equally there is usually a crowd of young people out and about. Just be careful as I've seen druggies around begging and following people
Posted: March 17, 2026It’s safe to walk on busy streets during the day or night however keep your phone out of sight. Keep your phone attached to your wrist if it is visible, including on tubes and when tapping in and out of stations
