megocain asked: Hi! I'm hoping to visit London for about 10-11 days this winter, however I'll most likely be going alone. I'm actually fine with traveling by myself, but I'm a bit worried/unsure about safety. Are there any places that would be better than others to stay or certain parts of the city that I should avoid? Any other general tips/suggestions you might have?

I miss it.
