New to London - Late night travel advice, please?
How safe is the tube at about 11pm?
Speaking as a semi-regular tourist, just keep your wits about you as you would in any major city and you'll be fine. Know where you're going (or fake it well), keep your valuables close at hand, and be aware of what's going on around you without being paranoid. When I was lost a couple of times in the city, I'd stop for some tea or hot chocolate, and use that time to get my bearings. A company called Pop-Out Maps makes a good credit-card-sized one that has the central city in some detail along with a basic Tube map for that area. It folds up quickly and is discreet, almost spy-like. -- Google (GMAIL) invites available (act now for good address) - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5503966009 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5503966012 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5503966015 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5503966019 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5503966020 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5503966024 |

Speaking as someone who gets asked about "safety" by clients all the time, I have to say that that's the best precis of advice I've seen in a long time. -- Ian Jelf, MITG, Birmingham, UK Registered "Blue Badge" Tourist Guide for London & the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |

time, I have to say that that's the best precis of advice I've seen in a long time. Thank you very much. It's served me well from Atlanta to London and points in between - the worst that's happened so far was a religious nut on the DC metro trying to strike up a "friendly" chat. |
