We were europe s safest country until 1990.....Then we wrongfully accepted Albanians(europe s arch criminals)and then Georgians,Pakistanis and Indians.Yes,over 60% of the Uk s crime rate(according to multiple sources)Is because of immigrants.DO YOU REALLY WANT A SAFE EUROPE??You know the answer...

I was in London recently and it generally isint that bad,just stay away from migrants and refugees and you will be fine.
Tony k on Dec 24, 2023:
Hi, having read some of the comments on here I disappointed but not surprised. The reason London is going/gone to the dogs is that it that the politicians are either deluded or in denial about the reality on the ground. Until they recognise this, it will continue to get worse. Sad but true.

I live in New York, I visited London recently for the first time and i was robbed in broad day light in Hackney leaving the subway by 4 Middle Eastern looking teenagers.
Even comparing to NYC, London seems more ruthless and more gangs are on the streets..

London is a concrete jungle...The crime is higher than in many US cities and it's the highest in all Europe!! In some neighbourhoods you will hear more Arabic, Hindi or Polish than English language.

Anonymous on Jul 06, 2023:
About 4-5% of London people make the place seem dangerous. These people come in gangs from the most deprived parts of London. Poverty and crime go hand in hand. They typically wear tracksuits and Canada goose/monclear/north face jackets so if you see people wearing this stay far away.

I from brazil i go london i got stabbed i died.

I came from Merida Mexico and was mugged twice, additionally, most people here seem way too aggressive, like they are always looking for trouble or something.

I’ve lived and worked in London for nearly 20 years and have always felt very safe. The only time I’ve ever been a victim of violent crime was an altercation with some drunken football fans from another UK city after a match.

Clearly there are gangs in London, as in any city, but I’ve never come across any of them despite spending most of my time in Southwark and Tower Hamlets.

Hi,

Looks like the website admins removed my last comment inspite of me liking the site so much that I put it on my social media with 20k+ followers as it’s an honest website.

But l’ll keep continuing to share my experience.
I was being mugged in the heart of central London early morning when there were people around.
It’s very common these days that the gangs of Black Guys comes in group of 4-10 and try scare you even threaten and hit if you don’t comply. They loot you completely including fancy clothes you’re wearing.
I think police need to do something about it as it’s happening in the heart of London continuously with many tourists and locals.
Anonymous on Aug 30, 2022:
The other day my cousin got stabbed in the shoulder so this gang of youths could steal his wristwatch which was worth about 4 grand, it didn’t even reach headlines and the police have been useless with this situation, do not recommend but this mainly applies to south and east London areas where it is REALLY bad.
Anonymous on Jul 06, 2022:
London's crime rate is skyrocketing assault, pickpockets, rapes etc. People might look at the crime rate and perceive it as very safe but the knife crime is shockingly high, just stay out of north and east london and you'd be just a little safer
Anonymous on Jul 04, 2022:
London has shocking levels of violence and crime, not far behind are birmingham then Manchester Liverpool and Glasgow. They don't have high homicide rates but general violence is shocking. London has just gone to the dogs in the last 30 years and in the last 5 murder has risen steady and this is with the mets dodgy numbers ie the police stopped reporting crime under the Khan because..... Yeah don't like the numbers don't keep count Khan is a corrupt little sht
Pop on May 29, 2022:
London and Warsaw are constantly getting more dangerous. more drugs more violence.
Ray Carvajal on Apr 29, 2022:
Honestly I think some of the negative comments about London may be Racist British, Rough British Blokes that want to make London a tough city, or Americans that want to make London look bad and dangerous so they can Brag America is safer.

People holding on to homicide rate: now do the math with the violent crimes, robberies and burglaries.
Anonymous on Mar 24, 2022:
London, Paris and Malmo, three European cities that were once good which are now dangerous.
AAM on Mar 21, 2022:
The people over here thinks that london and US cities are dangerous because they have never went to underdeveloped counties which accumlates to the majority of the total countries in the world. You people have no idea that how safe london is and also many US cities as well. Just get out from your homes and see the real world then you will realise in how safe places you all are living in.

Homicide is higher than stats say but the main issue is assault and stealing, it’s very common, so not recommend London as a place to live due to it’s unsafety.
Robert Maier on Feb 18, 2022:
Just for your information:London actually has a homicide rate of about 1.5 per 100000, weich is loser than that of Hungary of about 2.5. Of course a City with about 9 Million inhabitantants usually has more total crimes than one with 100k but in generell London is quite safe.
Anonymous on Jan 18, 2022:
Tourist attracted London is very safe.. The reason they have a high crime rate is generally because it being a big city but also that every other place in london (north, south, east, west) are gang and drug hubs
Anonymous on Dec 24, 2021:
Many people get stabbed and survive but unfortunately some don’t
Person on Nov 05, 2021:
People who say it’s safe live in the posh parts like Kensington. They don’t go anywhere near south and east London, crime rate is very high, murder rate is lower than some other parts of the country but it’s a lot higher than it says. But, London is a good place to visit, wouldn’t recommend living there though, look at living in Hertfordshire if you want to live around this area. Traffic can also be a NIGHTMARE.
Anonymous on Oct 23, 2021:
London is'nt safer than every US and Canadian city. Its one of the worst in Europe and statistically England as a whole has a higher crime rate than some American states. Anyone saying London is safe is a lunatic because it simply ain't true. (Yes it does also depend what parts of London).
Jay on Oct 19, 2021:
London people wanna be so tough, saying its a stabbing every 14sec lmaooooo do people know How much That’s in a year? Way way over 1million with less then 1.50 homicide rate. Its sad How people want London to be bad When its not its a paradise compare to were Am frm smh the lies and bs London its very very safe
Dan on Oct 10, 2021:
Honestly, I think UK citizens (and US too, as there seems to be a lot of people arguing over which country is safer) have no idea how developed and safe their countries are, because they never visited something else, like an underdeveloped country. London is very safe, UK is very safe and the whole Europe in general.
Paul on Sep 28, 2021:
@yung boss money, such stupid comment. London among the most dangerous cities in Europe. People getting stabbed, mugged on daily basis
yung boss money on Sep 14, 2021:
London not only has a lower homicide rate than EVERY single US city, but it also has a lower homicide rate than EVERY single CANADIAN city. Canada is known as the safest country on earth, so when london is better than that it simply means it's very safe. Every person commenting how bad london is in the comments have an agenda, either they're fake accounts made by weirdos who wanna make London seem hard, or they have an anti immigration agenda. London is simply so unbelievably safe and is NOWHERE CLOSE to the level of crime in either the US or Canada. For example, st louis in 2020 reached 262 homicides, which is more than double the amount of homicides in London, meanwhile it only has a population of 300k, while London has one of 8.9 million. This means the st louis homicide rate is over 60x higher than London, yeah london doesn't even compare. For those of you who say london reached new yorks homicide rate, it did, but literally for only ONE month, where new york did not have many homicides and London did, for the whole year new york was still a lot higher, and London has never surpassed it since. Not to mention that new york is one of the safest big cities in the entire USA. In conclusion, british people are weird.
Ben on Aug 30, 2021:
London sucks, American tourist here, centre is fine but the suburbs are bad. London has a lower murder rate than LA but a higher crime rate. I still enjoyed my visit though because I stayed within the main areas.

This place is such a dumb, especially with these lockdowns
Anonymous on Jun 16, 2021:
“According to a recent United Nations report, Britain has become one of the most violent industrial nation, the chances of being mugged and assaulted here are almost higher than in the US.”
That was back in 2008, and since then it’s gotten a fair bit worse (in London anyways)

Place is an absolute dump, we’ve had over 20 stabbings in the past week alone and those are the ones that get reported, if you come to visit I advise looking into where and where not to go.
Anonymous on Apr 22, 2021:
As far as capital cities go, it's very safe if you practice common sense. Don't go to rough neighbourhoods, don't look for drugs, try and avoid walking alone through unlit areas at night... you know, generic advice they give about everywhere.

I've lived here for a decade and the worst that's personally happened to me is someone going through my bag at a hostel I was staying at. And that guy was a tourist.

As with every city in the world, you can find scary stories about crime there that reach the newspapers. But in reality you would have to be desperately unlucky for any of it to happen to you.
Anonymous on Apr 08, 2021:
I used to live in London for 6 years in a row. I was planning for it to be my final destination, but then I just run away once I became a father. I didn't want to leave my child fatherless or something to happen to him. It could be safe if you earn over 6 figures and can afford a different, better life, but it is better to keep it an experience for the average Joe. Definitely not a place to raise a child and have a family.Tourist, English learner, students and once in a lifetime experience all welcome.
Anonymous on Feb 23, 2021:
Can FEEL safe but actually there are a lot of bad people about. If you ever see two guys on a moped, get offside quickly. Similarly with groups of badly dressed youths.
Olivia on Feb 23, 2021:
Crime has been increasing rapidly here for the past decade, but it gets really bad when it’s dark. A lot of dodgy stuff happens. Stick to main tourist areas though and I’m sure you will be fine
Anonymous on Feb 02, 2021:
Thank you Sir for your comment. But I'm keen to complete the summary by the fact, that the UK is much more closer to the US in many things, than compared to continental europe. In terms of crime too. The types of crime and problems with crime are similar. Knife crime for example is often linked with gangs. Gangs are often coupled with drugs, where there is a high demand among the population. But there are some seriously mental ill, low life young teenagers, who treat this as a fun and game to take someones life. And so the other young majority, out of fear, carry weapons to protect themselfs. A simple argument or the lost of temper or even looking for someone in a bad way, can lead to the lost of a live. If you look at it from objective point of view, this is totally mad. The fact that the police is seen as a enemy, by thugs and some parts of the community is frightening. All this is more like in the US. The Government fails to tackle crime and the violence, just like poverty. Instead the understaffed police force which are treathened by further cuts, takes the fight against crime, sometimes with youths who commit crime because they are bored. A Crime & Punishment system is meant to lock the criminals away for a long time, not to let them go by the judges or treat them with a soft approach. So crime has established and it is treated as a part of live, a circumstance. It happens, because there is no fear of the law for some lawless and ruthless gangsters. The longer this status will last, the more impossible it will be to combat this disease effectively. But the Government seems to have other problems, only the News like on the Telly try to understand whats going on,if it gets bad. Crime will always be a part of a city. There is no big city without crime. But teenager which are so brutal,ruthless, coming from poor broken families, disrespectful, with no regard of human live or someones property, clearly living in a parallel world in one society is deeply worrying. If future Tourists read this(when traveling will be possible again):It is unlikely that you will be caught up with this problem in the City Center. If you dont have to, then dont go to the poorer Areas of the City, especially not in the night time. But if you need to, then better take the public transport or a cab. London is not only full of people drinking tea at afternoon or Mr Beans riding their Sofas on a Mini looking grim at you or hiding for fun in Postboxes. Unfortunately this City has some serious crime problem. Dont think that the police will come fast to you, when your handbag get snatched or by minor crimes.They struggle already with the amount of major crimes. Keep always an eye on your belongings. London is still very enjoyable big city and one of its kind on earth. I hope a new mayor will change things and bring the city to the former glory.

An excellent summary by the person who commented yesterday, very accurate.
Anonymous on Jan 22, 2021:
As I see, a lot of people like to compare London to the much loved and adored US. But do you really want to compare to cities which doing worse to feel better? The crimes committed in London are similiar, if not even worse. London reached the homicide rate of NYC in march 2019. Of course London is a safe city compared to South American Cities or Tijuana or Chicago. But in Europe, not European Union, the UK is a high crime country,whats seems normal today. Gun crime is getting worse significantly. The knife crime epidemic goes on over years now and continoue to reach new high levels. It feels like nearly everyday someone loses a life in London to knife crime, not only gang members. Most of it is gang related between black young men. But the crime is getting out of control over the past 6 years. And the worst part is, it can happen to everybody, because crime is also committed on random people of the public. Acid attacks, moped crimes in broad daylight in front of dozens of people, postcode wars (mistaken identity), you have to keep your car always locked when driving, brutal home invasions. Burglaries. Drive by shootings and gun shoots fired on random people or houses. Cars stolen for joyriding and crashed and torched, and more. If this happens to random people, by just being in the wrong place, wrong time, thats not safe at all. You just need to read the News. Police isnt catching all the criminals, because there is too much crime for those police officers. Prisons are the next, even more severe and completly overcrowded problem. But most importantly, this comes from a broken society, full of selfish people, dont looking at others. Poverty which getting worse too (what a suprise). No perspectives for young men. Everywhere they building new posh high rise buildings in London, ruining the skyline, just to allocate the money from the rich, ending up the poorer people earning enough, but not enough for London prices. Dont get me wrong, i love London as a city, but it really lost the charme. Its not the end of the world, you can get out on the street, but just be careful, vigilant and better dont go out after dark. Its just not a safe city. Other UK Cities have much more problems with crime by less inhabitans. And if anyone comes here with racism, if you go up north the country, you will find native young british lads, doing the same crimes. Its a social,poverty problem, created by the attitude of the poorly educated minds, not only imported by migrants.

As an American, I can safely say this place is trash, there are a few nice places so stay their but don’t go anywhere near the places that have a bad reputation.
Argent on Jan 07, 2021:
After many years spent here in London I can say this place really pissed me. It has become a trashold, glad they close borders now cause it got outhand. Worst of all are the groups of young lads mainly afro brit who seriously go around to look for problems so keep away from this crap

A lot of London crime isn’t even noted down so saying Amsterdam is safer is very misleading
Biden on Nov 16, 2020:
There are too many crimes in London, the young roadmen on London bikes are the most dangerous; they'll ride up to you, ask you for something like the time, then try to mug you.
Rins on Nov 16, 2020:
Murder rate in London is only 1.3. Much better than Berlin = 2.6 , Amsterdam= 2.3 and many other european cities.

Anonymous on Nov 01, 2020:
I don’t live in either places but I felt safer in New York City than London. I was harassed a lot in London and even threatened. Maybe it’s just my experience but I feel like New York City is a bit safer.
CM on Oct 26, 2020:
I used to live in Paris and NYC so take my comment with that in mind.

I've been living in London for over 6 years now and I feel SUPER safe honestly. I'm not saying there aren't dodgy areas, but I've never felt like I had a chance of being a target. I feel like crime here **tends** to be more gang related. Common sense applies obviously BUT I feel a LOT safer than in any areas in Central Paris honestly.
MR.E on Oct 16, 2020:
It’s honestly getting out of hand, I’m starting to scary scary crime on a regular basis now. Even as simply walking to the shop I see fights and people threatening to use knifes.

I have lived in London for a decade now and i am planning to move out. There are many drug dealers on the road and the police do not even care and last night I heard screaming of two people threatening to stab each other. My 13 year old son says he doesn’t feel safe in school as many students their carry a knife. I find it amazing how people say London is safe and safer than (insert name here) because it really isn’t. There are some nice places that are very nice but most of London is how my experience is.

London is so bad for real, i've visited lots of cities in europe and north america. London is one of the worst. Not the worst but one of the worst.
Angelina on Jul 15, 2020:
I’m from York and I have visited London a few times recently. Never wish to go back, it’s bad and dangerous. And I’m tired of people defending the city saying it’s safer than others and then give a crime rate that’s probably from some dodgy website. So I decided to find out the murder rate myself and this is what I got. London murder rate=1.7 Toronto murder rate =1.2 Winnipeg murder rate=1.5 Paris murder rate=1.1 so people actually need to shut up about this city being “really safe” have u ever been to south or east London? Just because they live in the posh areas. How about we stop pretending this city is safe and perfect and we actually try to stop the crime rate and murder rate. Sadiq Khan is a Liar. Don’t trust what he says about London.
Matt on Jul 14, 2020:
London is much safer than cities like Seattle, Paris, NYC, Toronto, El Paso, not even close to comparable to cities such as St Louis, Baltimore.
Chicago has more homicides than all of England.

You guys are delusional in the Comments. London is one of the safest major cities in the goddamn world. If London is too dangerous for you, than you are extremely sheltered.

Facts. People act like London is comparable to NYC, Toronto Detroit, Winnipeg, St Louis or Baltimore. Our homicide rate is literally 1.5 per 100,000, more than safe than even "safe" American and Canadian cities
Devin on Jul 13, 2020:
I'm from Hackney London, and It really isn't that bad. Sure there is crime here like anywhere else, but compared to Toronto, NYC or literally ANY North American City, we're doing WAY better.

Our homicide rate in London is 1.5 per 100,000, New York is 3.6 and Toronto is 3.5
Jack on Jul 10, 2020:
Visited from Ottawa Ontario, when I went to London many of the people there were very rude and I saw lots of drug dealers and even noticed some people carrying knives. And apparently knife crime happens a lot there according to the people I spoke to. I didn’t exactly feel safe. I would say that Toronto and even Winnipeg are safer than London through what I witnessed.
Bradley on Jul 07, 2020:
I went to London from Sydney Australia, I saw a lot of trouble and may have witnessed a stabbing (can’t say for sure but it’s what it looked like before I ran off) and apparently that stuff happens daily so I’m glad I don’t live their lol
Daisy on May 28, 2020:
My mum lives in Toronto and my dad lives in south London. I spend 8 months in Toronto and 4 months in London. And I can tell you that London is way worse. Toronto has its problems of course but London is terrible. My dad has been stabbed once by a man in a black ski mask. People here are not nice and the police are a complete joke. The crime and homicide rate is worse in London and I do not feel safe at all. Thankfully my dad should be moving to Cardiff soon. My recommendation to people is don’t live in London as there is nothing going for it and it’s on the way to becoming like Chicago or Detroit. If you come here for a visit then you should be ok if you stay in the safe areas and know what you are doing.
FuneyShoot on May 28, 2020:
I don’t know why a bunch of soyboys are defending this terrible city and giving false facts. Just because they live in the 20% areas where there is no trouble, I’m serious don’t go here. I’ve nearly been stabbed 7 times now and I try to stay away from the violence and illegal activity.
Tom on May 19, 2020:
Safer than Toronto, NYC, San Jose. I think we're doing fine.
Our homicide rate is literally 1/3 of NYC AND Toronto, let's praise our city for once instead of making it seem like a Baltimore or Detroit or Winnipeg. Even Paris is doing worse then us.
FuneyShoot on Apr 09, 2020:
As someone who lives in London and is a teenager, I will give an honest opinion of what it’s like to live here. Now don’t get me wrong, there are some nice places in London, but I have to say for the past couple of years this place has really gone to sh!t. Gang violence has recently become massive here and the police force fail to even record the number of stabbings here as they themselves have admitted that they haven’t been doing it very well, London at this point is basically a stab city, we have more crime than places in America now, such as Los Angeles. There are violent fights here all the time, I can’t go outside anymore without witnessing people fighting and threading to stab each other on the streets. The youth here are so messed up as well. In class all the students are wanna be gangsters and have no respect for the teachers, so don’t think about sending your kid to a school in London or the whole south east for that matter. In conclusion, London once used to be a peaceful and exciting place, but now there’s terrorist attacks, gang violence with high homicide rates and stabbings, lots of theft and it’s hard to come across nice people nowadays. If you live in a expensive posh area then you are fine but for 80% of London it’s unsafe. Safer cities I would recommend are Toronto, Seattle, Oklahoma and others, those cities have crime of course but it’s less than London.
