Safety


London is a city of about 8 million people of all races, morals, and ages. And while it is fair to say that a majority of the people here are respectful, there is also the other side of the coin. There are people all over the world looking to take advantage of someone else, London is no different.
That being said- there are cameras everywhere as well as people who pay attention to what goes on around them. But things happen, so keep track of your bags- and make sure those bags have zippers.

The sight of headphones is omnipresent throughout the city. Now, I'm the type of person that listens to their music so loud that other people (on the other side of the room) can hear it coming out of my headphones. (I know, I know, it's a bad habit I'm working on breaking). Regardless, when I'm wearing my headphones in public I have it turned so I can almost kinda still hear the music. Not only do I consider this courtesy to the people around me sparing them from my very random music collection, it also allows me to still hear what's going on around me. In the tube, I am able to hear if my train got switched to a different platform (which happens quite often); and in the street I am still able to hear the traffic around me.
Make sure you double check your possessions when leaving the tube or a taxi, it is easy to forget important items on the seat.

If something should happen and you need to call the police just remember: 999
