    Talking about London as a whole is meaningless.
    I wouldn't walk after dark in Harlesden, say, or parts of East London, but quite happily in most parts of central/West/South West London.
    Saw more violence living up North in one year than a lifetime in London, as Greg says, alcohol fuelled.
    Hard Brexit now!

      The areas of London I wouldn't have walked around in London alone at night are very few - parts of Somers Town and a couple of estates in Hackney.

        I had to chuckle at your first and last lines.

          To be fair to him, his contributions are generally well-spattered with mirth-inducing gibberish from start to finish. Hardly a surprise when you reflect upon the inescapable reality that he has less intellectual capacity than most people's sock drawer.

                True, obviously a lot less dodgy now.
                I knew a few lads who always went up to estates Hackney way, to buy party items, in the early 90's and you wouldn't go up without knowing someone who was known locally.

                Mexico City was the place in the world, that kept me on point at night, as it were, but fantastic place all the same.

                  I'm guessing you haven't been to Kent.

                    The "funny" thing is I completely get that statement having lived in Plymouth for 5 years, again early 90's.
                    Lets just put it this way, at that time, shocking things happened down there that never made the national news.
                    Different game down there, I'm sure parts of Kent are/was just the same.

                      Seaside towns do have their edge. I think Hastings was described as a big drug town with a small fishing problem.
