Use only licensed cabs!<\/p>\n<p>The only type of cab authorized to pick you up without pre-booking is the black cab. All other minicabs must be booked in advance, either via an app, or <strong>by calling a cab company directly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If a stranger waiting outside a bar offers you a lift, systematically refuse, however good the offer may seem.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc158388318\"><\/a><strong>Safety in London: keep a clear head<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Don't get so drunk that you fall asleep on the way home, whether in<a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourlondres.fr\/en\/bus-london\/\"> the bus<\/a>the<a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourlondres.fr\/en\/train-london\/\"> train<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourlondres.fr\/en\/london-cab\/\">cab<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not only because you could end up on the other side of London, but also because you become an easy target for theft.<\/p>\n<p>You're responsible for yourself, so make sure <strong>to be aware of what's happening to you at all times!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc158388319\"><\/a><strong>Keep an eye on what you eat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The stories about psychotropic drugs being added to evening drinks are real and happen all the time.<\/p>\n<p>A simple way to make sure you never fall victim is to<strong> never leave your drink unattended.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keep it in your hand, and if you need to go to the bathroom or outside for a cigarette, finish your drink first or leave it with a trusted friend who will hold it for you.<\/p>\n<p>Don't accept drinks from people you don't know. <strong>do not exchange drinks with others.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you can, drink from the bottle, as it's harder to dope a bottled drink.

Look around to see if you can type in your code without prying eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid deserted, unlit and dilapidated areas. These days, you'll pay with your card almost anywhere, <strong>even in black cabs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Always protect your PIN code, whether you're using an ATM or typing it in a store.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc158388321\"><\/a><strong>Be careful with your phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Try to minimize the time you spend on your phone in the street. Phone theft by people on bikes or scooters is quite common and happens all over London.<\/p>\n<p>Try to stay away from the edge of the road, especially if you're listening to music through headphones. Do not hear <strong>what's happening around you makes you an easier target.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don't leave your phones or tablets exposed on a table if you're sitting outside sipping a drink.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, keep it in your pocket, in a bag on your lap or between your feet, rather than hanging it on the back of a chair.<\/p>\n<p>By following these London safety tips, you won't have any problems during your stay. You'll be able to <strong>enjoy the city's sights and nightlife and have a great vacation.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visiter Londres est une grande aventure et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 doit \u00eatre au centre de vos pr\u00e9occupations.
