LONDON - Pick Pockets |
| London, as all
major cities in the world, has its fair share of muggers and
pickpockets, but don't worry - the chances of becoming a victim
are slight. However, here are a few tips to avoid a ruined holiday
in our capital. |
| |
|
· |
Be extra
careful in crowded tourist areas, such as the changing of
the guard at Buckingham Palace |
| |
|
|
· |
Always keep
your bag where you can see it or feel it |
| |
|
|
· |
Avoid keeping
a wallet in your back pocket |
| |
|
|
· |
Be vigilant at
cash-point machines |
| |
|
|
· |
Keep your
money in more than one place to avoid having everything
stolen |
| |
|
|
· |
Allow plenty
of time to purchase tickets, collect bags or whatever you
need to do at the airport or railway station |
| |
|
|
· |
Have the exact
cash ready before paying at the airport or railway station,
so that pickpockets don't know where you keep your money |
| |
|
|
· |
Keep
passports, wallets and travellers cheques in your inside
pockets but do not leave valuables in your jacket if you
take it off |
| |
|
|
· |
Wear a money
belt, if possible |
