No need to be passive aggressive? I said London is 1) safe 2) safer than before 3) a great city.
I didn't say it was without problems. The rise in crime is a concern, my point is that it's not evidence of a massive decline and that over time we're getting safer. House prices are a concern. Pollution is a concern.

i live in a town on the midlands mainline about an hour by train to London and over the last five years quite a lot of Londoners have moved here and the two main reasons most of them give for moving here are cheaper property prices and feeling safer then they did in London.

I don't know where you live but quite little towns tend to be safer than massive cities. London though is still safe.

Personal safety seemed to be a big issue for a lot of them and they no longer felt happy living in London or with the police either though on that they will be just as disappointed here as well.

Well ok, but most Londoners aren't talking around with a perpetual sense of foreboding. If you're walking though a dodgy area at night you might but that's true of anywhere.

We're pretty good at that. The collation between poverty and crime is well known and we try to stage interventions there as a society.
