Hmm I'm in South London so the crime rate is pretty disgraceful.
As an idea of just how bad things are getting in certain areas you need to know that I was approached twice on the way home from sixth form by people who "needed 50p for the bus" but around here you know that if someone talks like that and dresses with his face covered you can be sure that the moment you produce a wallet they will be trying to pry it from your hands. This is in the daytime by a main road as well.
I'm generally in a group when going out though so I'm not normally a target for real muggers anymore but lets say you have to travel through Brixton at midnight, even in a group you will be on edge.
