London is one of the most popular cities in Europe. It has virtually everything you need. The best Parks , Museuems , Restaurants , Shops , not to mention all the beautiful attractions it has on offer. Thousands of tourists flock into London year after year without actually being informed of the hidden dangers that one can encounter on the streets of London.

London has now become the most expensive city in Europe. The cost of living has escalated over the last ten years making London a more difficult place to live in. Not only is it expensive but crime has increased and many of London`s areas are suffering.

Kings Cross London once a popular area is now known as "Crack City".It`s no longer a pleasant area to walk through. The streets are contaminated with drug dealers , drug addicts , prostitution , homeless people and lots of high crime.All the ingredients of a run down place. This is evident even in broad day light and it`s no longer an area to be taken lightly.

Another dangerous area in London is Soho West End , popular with the tourists but also very popular with the drug dealers. Soho is a maze, with lots of side streets and roads leading to dark dead ends. An easy target for for people who don`t know the area.

Even the busy Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Cirus, here you will find lots of thieves on the prowl. They survey the area looking at waiting for the right opportunity.

So next time your down London just be more careful of what areas you plan to visit. London may be a nice place but it has many hidden dangers that not many tourists are aware of.
