OK hapy me old mucker..

London is one of the safest places in Europe if you just be a little aware of the do and don'ts. You mentioned that you went in 2003 and found the police very helpful.

I lived all my life there. Crime is everywhere. You can get robbed here in Qatar as you can anywhere in the world. No problem you can go out at night and return back any time of the night.

As it is my home I would say you will have no problem just follow the advice from tallg and Brit above.
