London’s knife crime epidemic terrifies tourists

TOURISTS are frightened of coming to Lawless London as the murder rate rockets and knife crime blights the city every day.

Visitors are becoming more scared of venturing to Britain's capital amid constant reports of violent bloodshed, TripAdvisor forums reveal. 

And statistics from VisitBritain show the number of overseas travellers who came to London between January and March this year dropped by 5.3 per cent, compared to the number who arrived in 2017.

Last month a couple fretted ahead of their trip, asking “how safe it is in terms of crimes like mugging etc?”, adding: “I have been reading about crimes in London having increased!”

And one woman told of her fears she and her wife could be in danger after "reading reports of attacks to same sex couples".
