This 100%, it’s a big city so crime does happen (sorry to hear your incident OP, hope you’re okay) but it is still a safe place, particularly as a tourist where you likely will be staying close to central London or major landmarks.
I wouldn't say 'This 100%'.
I've lived here for 25 years, and been OK.
But what I would say about London is that trouble can find you a lot easier.
Based on who I know socially and at work who have been mugged, it is much more of an issue for foreign people.
I think thats a lot to do with when you're born and bred here you look less of a mark - you're more streetwise, even if you're not aware of it.
Even in 2018 London had a higher murder rate than New York.
I wouldn't live there for free. Obnoxious bunch. Rude, self absorbed lot.
Well this is getting a hit out of point, huh? I loved every single day I lived in London and if childcare wasn't incredibly expensive we would still be living there. I don't think comments like yours add anything positive to this discussion...
Just been reading again. It was true for a period of time. March /April 18. Seems the tabloids fudged figures. .

I hope you are OK.. May I ask what time? And which day is it?Hi all,
I had just got a Richard mille r27 today and was walking along lower marsh in London when a group of 4 guys came at me from behind tackled me down and took the watch. Just some advice for all Londoners with more conspicuous watches.
Take care out there.

No loss.
It really is. I don't know where you're living but this is not happening in ghettos. This is happening in central. Mayfair, Bond, you name it, it has happened. Wankers are following certain clientele to their place to rip them off.For those overseas - please don't think that London is some kind of warzone - it really isn't. There are opportunistic pricks all over the world.

Next time I am in London. I am gonna be wearing a G-Shock and a T-shirt that says "I am wearing a G-Shock don't mug me Please, Thank You."
On either side. I mean, I'm sure he would not like it. People that say "sorry" and "thanks" several times in a sentence? Oh please no!
