London Warnings Or Dangers Tips by kris-t Top 5 Page for this destination

Pickpockets Pickpockets, Beggars, Crime and Scams Review

London is at #10 in list of destinations where tourists most likely to be pick pocketed. It is still ranked safer than Athens, Barcelona, Prague and Lisbon... I can say from experience - And Florence....

Though shopping streets (Oxford Street etc) have a reputation for pickpockets it is very unlikely that a tourist would become a victim of crime.

We became a victim our self in the London Aquarium: in a dark area (where only the aquariums were illuminated) my DK sunglasses disappeared from the very front of my shirt. Pickpockets are very good and some are very crafty too.

Someone may ask you for directions or may engage you in pointless conversation and a colleague may be already in your bag or pocket...

Pickpocket can 'dropped' some documents on the floor, till you help him to pick it up he or his (her) colleague could manage to get your wallet from the back pocket....

Keep your valuables close to you on the front of your body or in bags that sit across your chest or under your arm.

Do not carry large amounts of cash, your passport or plane tickets, it is discouraged.

Remember, you can never be too careful.
