    Actual question: is it unsafe? Last time i was in london was more than a decade ago, and other than being pretty boring(i will die on that hill) it didnt seem particularly unsafe. Tho a lot can change in a decade.

      It actually has the lowest crime rate for violence against the person amongst English and Welsh police regions. It has higher-than-average homicide and total crime rates, but it’s not the highest and it’s comparable to other cities

      No, it’s pretty safe. The perception that it isn’t is due (at least in part) to propaganda.
