London, safety
I will be in London in a few weeks.
I was wondering how safe it is to walk alone at night. When I go to Manhatten I walk at all hours, nearly everywhere without problem.
In London I will primarily be in Notting Hill, Soho and in the popular areas along the Thames.
I am male.
If I spend all my time in those areas are there great parts of London that I will be missing?

Those parts of London are very safe.
Re: Notting Hill. The parts you are likely to want to go to are fine - but be a bit carefull. It's easy enough to find yourself in Ladbroke Grove which isn't so nice.
Soho is laughably safe. You might get wolf whistled or have your dress sense criticised but that's about it.

Sally,
Thanks for the reply.
I am in London for two days on the back of a trip to the Middle East.
I am interested in seeing the best neighborhoods in London, more than seeing the big tourist spots. Any suggestions for those areas would be appreciated.
