PROBLEMS
 
The greatest dangers in England are from the usual petty theft and pickpockets. Take care on tubes, buses and transport and keep your valuables well hidden and your bags closed and out of reach of others. It should also go without saying that you should not accept drinks or food from strangers.

It is never adviseable to wander around alone at night, especially for women, but if you must the places to particularly avoid would include railway stations, bus stops and deserted areas particularly in inner city industrial zones. However there are usually night police patrolling transport areas.

Try to also keep a note of your relevant embassy or consulate in England and any other emergency numbers you may require for lost credit cards, travellers cheques, health insurance etc.
