It appears on the general section of the forum that a teenage girl was raped last night on East Dulwich Grove, just by Glengarry Rd, quite horrifying and very brave of her to report it.

I know that dreadful assaults like this are rare and I'm not writing this to scaremonger, but I think it's worth putting it on this section too so that people can talk to teens (and us adults of course) about staying safe. I walked home to East Dulwich Grove late last night myself, and now would feel pretty nervy about doing it again in a hurry.

When I was a teenager me and quite a few friends all had personal shriek alarms, which I'd pretty much forgotten about the existence of, but they are cheap and give off an extremely loud alarm, the latest admin work seems to have temporarily stopped the ability to attach links to posts, but you can buy 2 of the best reviewed ones on the Suzy Lamplugh Trust website.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      I take precautions, as every woman does. I also have a large dog. It isn’t safe though, my teenagers have each been followed and harassed while walking home through East Dulwich.

      Do you feel unsafe in London?

      I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights.

      By NewWave · Posted

      I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
