I am planning a trip to London the start of June and this will be my first time traveling solo outside of the country. I am very familiar with the culture and history of London, but as a young female traveler I would like to get more information about the safety of the city. Are there certain areas I should look to book a hotel in that are more safe? I enjoy going out at night and wonder if it's safe to go to a pub at night alone? I'm familiar with the European culture and have previously traveled to Italy, Germany, Austria and Netherlands but have always had at least one person with me.
Any suggestions are helpful :)
