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

London is very safe but pls avoid certain areas like Brixton at night along with parts of east London. Central is quite safe but you might see drunk and homeless people who may be taking substances. Phone theft is also common so pls don’t walk and go on your phone
Posted: April 5, 2026South East London is safe and very friendly neighbourhood. I will not recommend Croydon area as Im not very comfortable with health and safety there. West London is so posh and can be little unfriendly but safe.
Posted: April 5, 2026Always 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!
