London is a big place, can you be specific?

[DominF]

Do you consider hobos singing Mozart to walls safe? If so, then yes.

[dynamix]

how is north west london in particular? anyone know?

[Akkuz]

There are a few places to be avoided. Apart from that, it's not bad.

[HistoryFred]

in central london (leicester square) you should be alright if you keep to yourself. youll probably get a few weird guys asking you if you want some pills but thats it..

im from north west london, completely fine

[Slymee]

South and definately the South-East...

HELL NO!!!

[AP.]

No, it's all dangerous. Everybody gets killed, I'm being stabbed repeatedly as I type this.

Stop with the stupid questions, all major cities have problems with crime and London is no different. Stick to well lit areas and avoid estates off the beaten track. You have no business there anyway.

You need to be more specific than 'north west London'.

some places are safer than others

to avoid being stabbed, say nothing, have nothing and do not give eye contact

[safety_pin]

it's the same as anywhere, some nicer places and some dodgier places. just be sensible i guess.

[thunder_chunky]

In Brixton, Harlesdon and places like that? No.

Other places like St Johns Wood are a little better.

Like others have said, you need to be specific though.

[confused - help?]

Haha its incredible how scared you guys are, its the safest place on earth at night. Damn try going to Los angeles at night, london is like a nursery to LA. London is completely safe at night. I Guarantee you this fact.

Well in L.A you have 'real' gangs that don't bother with regular folks, whereas we have pretend gangs in London who prefer to mess around with the ordinary people. In L.A those shot are often gang members.

I'm just wondering why the hell you were the first person to say this
I came into this thread expecting most people to give the most obvious answer -- how mistaken I was.

[Lunty]

you will get stabbed at least once a week
