Stay Visualant On The Tube Pickpockets, Beggars, Crime and Scams Review

As with many metro sytems, London Underground is subjected to crime, most frequently in the form of pick pocketing and mugging. London doesn't hold a particularly higher risk than any other major city, but it is still vital to be careful, and aware.

I would advise that you do take certain precautions, so that God forbid should something happen, the damage is limited. It is a bad idea to carry anything of value in your back pocket, put your wallett, phone, etc in your front pocket and put your hand in it too. Also, if carrying a backpack, don't leave it on your back when stationary, hold it around your front, so you can see if anyones trying to get a closer look inside.
