Crimes
Pick-pocketing
So when traveling on busy public transport routes in the UK, be sure to keep your valuables inside a zipped pocket or bag. And if you see one of the aforementioned bottlenecks, just stand back and wait for it to disperse before continuing your journey.
Smart phones have become such an intrinsic part of our lives that, even when we’re traveling, we spend a huge amount of time staring down at that little screen. While you’re distracted by your phone – reading restaurant reviews, or getting directions to the next stop on your itinerary – you become vulnerable to a crime that has become remarkably common in England.
While some cities in the US are plagued by drive-by shootings, in England you need to be wary of ride-by muggings. In London in particular, it is common for thieves on small motorbikes to approach unsuspecting pedestrians, slow down, lean over to snatch their belongings, and then accelerate away.
Moped muggings
Dubbed ‘moped muggings’, they became so rampant that in 2018 there were more than 20,000 recorded across the UK. Police there have since cracked down heavily on this crime, which has dropped to less than half the previous volume. But it remains widespread.
Petty crime
London’s chief tourist precinct, Westminster, consistently has one of the highest crime rates in the city. Home to Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, St James’s Park and St James’s Palace, it’s unfortunately riddled by theft and pickpocketing.
In the UK’s big cities, groups of criminals often work together to create fertile scenarios for pickpocketing on public transport. UK police warn of such gangs causing so-called bottlenecks at busy train, bus, and underground stations.
During rush hour, the group will create an obstacle at an entrance or exit, causing a crush of frustrated commuters to build up. Amid this disorder, pickpockets can more easily steal wallets, phones, and handbags, and if spotted can swiftly disappear into the crowd.
So when traveling on busy public transport routes in the UK, be sure to keep your valuables inside a zipped pocket or bag. And if you see one of the aforementioned bottlenecks, just stand back and wait for it to disperse before continuing your journey.

Insurance Information
Do I need travel insurance to travel to UK?
Travel insurance is very important when traveling overseas. We strongly recommend that you take out cover to travel to United Kingdom (UK). You can usually take out single trip or annual multi-trip cover to give you peace of mind should anything happen.
It can be a better and cheaper option to take annual multi-trip cover as it usually covers any number of trips taken in one year with a maximum of up to around 60 days away per trip.

Travel insurance typically covers the following; however, you can tailor a policy to suit your needs depending on where you are traveling to, your activities and how long you are away.

Medical treatment can be extremely costly and add up very quickly, and include Overnight stays in hospital, minor or major surgery, accident and emergency treatment, drugs, COVID-19 treatment, journey home if you cannot use the original ticket, dental treatment, and many more unexpected expenses. - Baggage and personal belongings
If your baggage is lost, stolen, damaged or delayed it is extremely frustrating. If you must buy new clothes, toiletry products or personal belongings it can be very expensive and time consuming. - Cancellation
Sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances you may need to cancel your trip. This could be due to several reasons such as illness, injury, a bereavement or many other scenarios. Usually airlines, tour operators and hotels have large cancellation fees, so buying travel insurance that covers this is recommended.
