Use common sense you'll be fine, also try not to look afraid of gangs of youths because most muggers in London are opportunists if you look easy they'll go for it.

Another piece of advice I'd recommend, gangs go for you if your too blatant avoiding them.

We've got large numbers of PCSOs and Police officers in all major areas/problem areas they've even started riding/patrolling the tubes and buses and parks too late at night to prevent muggings there.

Considering Londons size, your not likely to have a police car around the corner ready to help you when your getting mugged, their usually somewhere else. Its no different than any other city really.

All in all, London is great multicultural society and the nice parts I wouldn't change for the world but the crap parts will forever be what makes London a crock of crap and since it's so old the good and the bad areas are often on top of each other.

Thats something unusual I noticed as well. I was in Holborn a few days ago and randomly came across a large set of estates right in between some office blocks. At least they live in a pretty good part of London.
