What is the safest district in London?

Question

I am finishing med school next year and i would like to start my internship in London, but everyone is telling me that London is not a safe place to live, but of course i am too stubborn to believe that, so if anyone could tell me what is the safest district in London (i would like to live in a flat that's close to the center)

Answer 1

Of course it's a safe place to live - 8 million people live here happily and without incident. The only places to avoid are the inner city council estates and I can't think of nay reason why you'd be wandering around one anyway.

Answer 2

..HA....safe??...London??.....The safest part of London is anywhere AWAY from London, plus my friend says London is dirty and crime is on the rise.

Answer 3

Out of curiosity.. have these people who say London isn't safe ever actually been to London?

London is safe.. well as safe as a city can be. At least central London is. I have visited London several times as a single woman (traveled alone) and i never felt unsafe.

Answer 4

West London. According to me it's the Maida Vale and Paddington area.
