Do you feel unsafe in London?

[Sue]

I'm interested to know other people's experiences.

As in any urban environment, I'm careful. I try not to use my phone outside  unnecessarily, and if I'm coming home by myself  late at night I also keep an eye out for any potential threats.

But that doesn't mean  I "don't feel safe". It's just sensible.

The only time I have ever felt seriously unsafe in London was decades ago  when I was a teenager, and that was one specific incident which could have happened anywhere.

I do however try to avoid places with loads of right wing thugs getting drunk and waving flags.

My perspective is the same as yours Sue.  

Biggest issue is road rage when I cycle, mainly drivers but once a Line bike rider I expect coked up.  But even that is rare

Toad rage?

Crikey, what have you done to upset the amphibians?

How do you find the frogs? 😃

Well let’s put it this way - certainly alot more alert when I am in town than I use to be . Don’t feel unsafe just a lot more cautious and aware of my surroundings. 

Tend to avoid walking anywhere in town as in London or Dulwich etc when it gets dark. Personal choice and certainly more people muttering or talking to themselves than before.

Witnessed road rage years ago on Ladbrook Grove in broad daylight - memory still haunts me!!
