Solo Female Travel in London

Solo travel experience

I COULD NOT RECOMMEND LONDON MORE!!! I felt so safe in London, and the public transit was super easy to navigate. Being out after dark I did not feel uneasy at all. So much to do and see could easily be a week trip!

Family travel experience

We went there to the Harry potter Museum. It was fantastic. We also travel to Yorkshire and I can recommend the small town for a nature trip. It was perfectly for a family trip. We felt welcomed everywhere and people were friendly and helpful. It was safe.

Solo travel experience

It was fun but expensive. The weather constantly changes and you are lucky if you see the sun during your London visit. Prices differ depending on where you eat and where you stay. The closer you are to the center, the more expensive things especially food will get

Solo travel experience

London is an Amazing City : architecture, museum, entertainment, shopping, green parles, live music & beer, English breakfast in a pub, antiques shop, Notting Hill, Camden Market... There is something to explore for everyone. I feel safe in this City. People are very polite. The streets and the underground were very clean. You can easily walk alone by day. At night, you must have "bon sens". Like every cities, some neighbourhood are less friendly. But you can enjoy Downtown with safety. Bonus : museum are free.

Solo travel experience

London is a fantastic but heavily crowded city. With a lot of beautiful architecture and interesting history it is a city you must visit at least once. There is good food and nice shopping. I felt very safe going there.

Solo travel experience

I was a bit worried about the safety , but my expérience was really great i had no problem and everyone was very kind to me. A lot of intersting things to do for example the museum of natural history and the museum of science who are both free. The only négative thing is the prices.

Solo travel experience

London was great, I had lots of fun and met incredible people, and I felt super safe there! It was definitely as expensive as I thought it would be… and with so many airports it’s such a hustle to move from one to another one, and super expensive as well But overall, a great experience!!

Solo travel experience

I recommend Four Seasons in Chinatown. Their roasted duck was so good I ate half a duck myself on my solo trip. Stayed in zone 1 and didn’t feel dangerous. Can’t take much pictures as a solo girl. As long as I put my phone in my jacket pocket, I’m safe

Solo travel experience

London was my first solo trip and I really enjoyed it because the people are very welcoming and the atmosphere is really nice. I did shopping in many thrift stores, I took a lot of pictures and I visited many museums. And I always felt safe during my trip.

Solo travel experience

I went to London during the pandemic solo while I was only 18 yo. Coming from Athens London did feel safe to me but it might have been the fact that during the pandemic it wasn't as busy as usual. I liked the food , you could find every cuisine in different price range but I don't remember any restaurants name to recommend. Going around with public transport was very easy and convenient.

London is as safe as the next big city. Keep your wits about you, use your common sense and you should generally feel safe enough. Although Londoners tend to mind their own business, they do tend to speak if there is an injustice. Emergency services are easily accessible.

I would say London is fairly safe city for women. Some days night tube is running all night, so easy to get home even at night. You can ask for Angela shots in all bars which means the bar will be notified if you feel unsafe with your date.

As a local who has lived in London for six years, I have some recommendations for travelers visiting this vibrant city. London is fairly safe, but like any big city, it's important to exercise caution. Keep your belongings secure and be aware of pickpockets, especially in crowded tourist areas. For museum lovers, I highly recommend the Victoria and Albert Museum. It's absolutely gorgeous and has a lovely courtyard garden where you can enjoy a coffee if the weather is nice. During the colder months, there's a stunning cafeteria inside. Just across the road is the iconic Natural History Museum, famous for the whale skeleton in the main hall. Don't miss the earthquake simulation room on the last floor, which replicates one of the biggest Japanese earthquakes in the last decade. Both museums are free to enter. On a good day, a walk along the South Bank is a must. Start at the Millennium Bridge and make your way along the river to Big Ben. While you're there, I'd suggest skipping the London Eye – in my opinion, it's overrated and overpriced. For food, Chinatown is a great spot for Chinese cuisine. If you're in the mood for steak, Flat Iron is superb, and you can even get free ice cream if you visit the location by London Bridge. For tapas, try Lobos, which offers a fantastic dining experience. Most restaurants require booking and have limited walk-in capacity. Enjoy your visit to London!

London, like any city can be unsafe. Personally I have never witnessed anything, but you have to be vigilebg and take care of your belongings. Id you see anything unsafe its easy to get away from i.e the tube can be unsafe but its quick and easy to get of at the next stop. It’s easy for London to get crowded if you at an event or during rush hour, so I would typically avoid traveling around between 7-10am and 4-7pm. If you stick to the touristy, well known areas. Walking round at night is as safe as any other city. There are normally lots of people about.

London is a very safe place to visit. There are a lot of places to visit that are free of charge, like the British Museum, History Museum, and War Museum. You can find all kinds of cultural food. At night, it's really safe and normally very busy, especially on weekends.

London is a safe place for travelling as a solo woman traveler. I did it many times. The food is good as you get to discover many cuisines from around the world. I would advise to stay within central London (zone1) in order to not spend too much on the transport as it is expensive especially during peak hours.

If you’re going outside of the city centre I recommend using a taxi at night. Either Uber or Bolt will be the cheapest options. If you have to get the bus at night, do it go onto the upper deck. Save money by going to larger supermarkets/superstores, convinience stores and smaller ‘metro’ or ‘express’ shops are more expensive. If you’re staying for a long time, use an Oyster card as payment issues are easier to track and refund. If you’re there for a short time, you can use your contactless card on all public transport. Museums and parks are free to enter, E.g the National Portrait Gallery (Trafalgar Sq), Natural History Museum (South Kensington) and the Science Museum (South Kensington).

London is mostly safe for women, with the exception of maybe a few neighbourhoods where there are a lot of middle eastern men, who will stare at you intensely like a piece of meat. Edgware Road is one such example. The women will also stare and judge, even when you’re dressed very “modestly” / conservative / not showing and skin or body shape or wearing any makeup.

So you’re visiting London for the first time! My advice as a woman who has lived here for 7 years, and had my fair share of getting lost and feeling uncomfortably cramped on the tube, is this! - Walk as much as you can, not necessarily to avoid the tube (as this is a rite of passage), but you get to see so much more of London by walking (or taking the bus, although I would avoid the night bus alone.) - Downloading the Citymapper app is a must! It will tell you exactly what routes to take as well as timings. This will help you plan your journey so you don’t feel intimidated by the tube! - Head to the touristy places sure, but they can get super packed so I would either head there early in the morning or after the sun goes down. - To get a real taste of London, you need to head to Hackney, Notting Hill, Greenwich, and Little Venice. - As for Covent Garden, Southbank (all great but very touristy!), aim to head there on a weekday. - Avoid Oxford Street unless you want to go on a big shopping spree, but even then I wouldn’t recommend! - If you are a solo traveller and you’re heading out to bars/restaurants, look out for an ‘Ask for Angela’ sign in the loos if anyone makes you feel uncomfortable at any point! The bar staff will help. - Avoid Uber and download Bolt or FREENOW - best cab apps! Avoid black cabs unless you’re made of money. - If you’re taking the tube, there’s no need to wear your backpack on your front! We do have pickpockets like every other city, just keep your phone close to your body and your bags zipped up. - Londoners aren’t as rude as they’re made out to be! If you’re lost, ask somebody. 99% of the time they will help, unless they don’t know where they’re going themselves! Finally! Enjoy it. There are so many creative and wonderful hubs in London, just waiting for you!

London can be a challenge but it's a lot of wonderful places to go. The tube is the best way to move, you can get everywhere. Delicious food that can be found at a resonable cost. The best way to find the beauty of the city is to gosto outro and walk around, but I would not advice after 10.30pm.

Yes London is safe for solo female travelers! Its one of my favorite cities in the world. You can even travel at night as a solo female traveler. It is well connected by tubes, buses etc and usually there is always people on public transport so ur not alone. Specially on weekends. Try not to walk alone after 12 am during the week. I would suggest you rent a lime bike and go to the nearest station or bus stop and get public transport. I would not spend too much time on the touristy areas like central London and west London. And try to engage with the real authentic London life. Visit museum they are mostly for free!! Visit Sunday markers in east London. Parks and canals are your friend for cheap nice hangout in summer and museums and cafes are ur friends in winter. East London hackney is my favorite area in London for food, bars, cafes, clubs, Sunday markets, pubs, canal walks, and super diverse and cool.

London is a big city, of hustle and bustle, and surreal, cultural entanglement! For nightlife, Eventbrite is a great app to check out and buy tickets for a great night. There are some absolutely amazing locations, if you know where to look! I have personally found that the best nights out have been smaller venues in London, like jazz bars, open mic nights, and dance nights, (especially infused with cultural music – like Latin nights) My best advice would be to pick a genre of music that you love, and look up that genre on Eventbrite. Thursday, Fridays and Saturday nights are generally the best! Or look up free parties in London, (because London is a space with lots of emerging artists there have great free gigs all the time) I guarantee you'll be able to find something for you!
