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
