I always keep my wits about me as I would in any city in the world. There are certainly areas that I wouldn't tread after dark by choice and some I may not go into at all unless there was a very good reason. Does anyone seriously think that is any different to any other city in the world?

During the week I live and work in London. The difference between some areas is astronomical. From a horrible area with a tonne of knife crime, inhabited by the scum of society to the areas where the bloody gentry live and cost an absolute fortune for the very smallest of homes!

Whilst I don't doubt people's stories, it is interesting to see everyone suddenly bring up a whole host of remarkable observations on what they have seen or had done to them. Maybe America does have a far greater problem than the UK. But I have never seen so many issues witnessed by so many people.

No surprises to everyone thinking guns are the answer as well :) Always an interesting cultural difference. No guns here, little to no gun crime and it would appear, a lot less violent crime. That is an observation, not an opinion. I am undecided on whether I think that is right or not, but it is not for England and I don't think it would do well to now remove it from the US.

And bobbies dont carry guns over there either.

This is 99% correct. There are occasions in airports and sometimes in 'The City of London' which is essentially the CBD of London, where you will see quite heavily armed policemen. That is usually a very unsubtle way of them showing that there is a potential threat! Doesn't make a sod's worth of difference to anyone going about their daily business though :)
