Staying safe at UCL

On the whole, London is a safe city and we want you to enjoy your university experience here as much as possible. However, we are aware that there have been a number of reports of crimes committed recently around Bloomsbury. As in all cities, there are steps that you can and should take to keep yourself safe. London is a great place to live, so please enjoy, have fun and take care! - 1. Keep an eye out for phone snatchers. Criminals often use mopeds to snatch phones and tend to operate in areas with lots of people. Bloomsbury is a busy area with people coming from the train stations heading in and out of London, as well as many tourists and students.
