How safe is London?

London is a safe city, as long as you're sensible about your own personal safety. Below are a few common-sense tips that we've put together to make sure you stay as safe as possible. If you ever experience any safety concerns, make sure you contact Security as soon as you can to help make our campus even safer.

Avoid dark areas at night

Although London is generally well-lit, it's important to avoid areas that are less well lit (such as parks or alleyways) at night. Even if it takes a bit longer to walk, its worth the time!

Don't use your phone on the go

While its OK to check your phone for a message or change your music, avoid walking and texting or speaking on the phone as it reduces your awareness of surroundings and makes you a potential target for thieves.

keep an eye on your drinks

Only trust drinks that you've seen being poured or that you've poured yourself. If you need to, only leave your drink with a trusted friend and if in doubt don't drink a drink that was unattended at all.
