Where is safer: London or Sydney?

Question

In terms of street crime, mugging, pick-pocketing, etc.

Answer 1

Definitely SYDNEY. Walk just about anywhere anytime. The most dangerous place is at the beach ( drownings)

Answer 2

My guess would be Sydney

Answer 3

I'd say Sydney. I live in Sydney and Sydney is not as populated as London, plus 97% of Sydney is usually safe, meaning, the people who live in these areas or visit these areas are respectful and self controlled. You get the odd nuisance from usually drunkens or someone high as a kite but you shouldn't have any problems at all.

Word of advice...just be careful what you say at all times, as cultures and peoples perspectives are very different. Often what might be cool and acceptable or even humourous in one culture group  may be offensive to another, triggering verbal abuse and sometimes violence.

Enjoy yourself.Sydney folk are cool.

Answer 4

Sydney would be safer then London.It is like any where but we should always be street smart in any country we choose to visit.

Answer 6

Sydney, but dont go to Lebanese areas after 8pm as Lebanese kids (not all but some) don't like Whities.

Sydney.

Answer 8

Sydney by a long shot. Street crime happens in small number late at night or early morning in the 'bad' parts of town. Mugging, well I dont know anyone who's been mugged, its extremely rare, same goes for pick-pocketing.

Sydney
