Is London dangerous? The truth
Probably one of the most googled things that people will look at when they enter london? Is it dangerous or not. Big cities have always been a little bit more dangerous and so if you look at overall safety compared to New York and others it is in fact on of the safe. Its homicide rate is very low (about 1.1 per 100,000 people).
It was in Mayfair once again that Besart Krasniqr was robbed of his Patek Philippe worth around $65K and this is kind of thing does happen often.
What kind of crime actually happens in London? Small petty crimes are the most common, such as pickpocketing, although knife crime seems to be the highest in terms of what happens.
So what the conclusion?
Mainly you should be safe and it really depends on your area. Some central boroughs (like Westminster or Camden) have higher crime levels but overall keep things to yourself, keep a low profile if your worried and you rill be ok.
