Brixton and Peckham are the most dangerous.
Rest are ok.
Best is West Kensington.
Absolute find is Loch Ness in Scotland

Each area has its own problems. Rich areas are more at risk from muggings as people think that you have more money, which isn’t necessarily so. If you are involved in drug or gang culture, then again, a high risk. If you go out and get drunk, you are more at risk than if you stay sober. If you are sensible, then you should be fairly safe. If stupid, no matter where you live, you are more likely to become a target.

Someone tried to mug me when I lived in an affluent area. Now live in a poorer area and never felt unsafe.

I’ve lived in London for 15 years, go to gigs, bars, clubs, use public transport, including nightbuses – I’ve never even seen a crime, let alone been the victim of one. And that includes frequent trips to Brixton and Camden.
Of course I know people who have been victims of crimes- but it’s been burglary, bags stolen, cars broken into – not very nice but not violent.

If you want to avoid the ‘dangerous’ places don’t wander around the council estates – but why would you be doing that anyway?

The most dangerous areas are Tottenham,Stoke Newington,Hackney,Kentish Town,Stockwell,Camberwell, Peckham.. The safest are generally the affluent middle class suburbs.
Of course you could be attacked or robbed anywhere and the most dangerous areas are not necessarily dangerous at all.
Your risk of being attacked are much greater if you obviously wear lots of jewellery and or an expensive watch. If your clothes indicate wealth and if you are out very late at night.
You definitely stand a much greater chance of being burgled
in the areas I list though.

Brixton and Peckham are the most dangerous areas in London. I would say why but I don’t want to be accused of being racist cos I’m not.

The safest areas are generally outer London, like Havering, Redbridge, Hillingdon, Bromley etc.
