Booking.com review about Thistle Park Lane in London’s neighborhood not feeling safe

[Anonymous]

Interesting. It’s glancing distance from the Marble Arch based on photos. I’ve been to London numerous times staying in Covent Garden and around the St. James Park area but never stayed here, I was curious given the great pricing.

How is this area? What’s the issue?

Ha ha what? Nothing unsafe about Marble Arch. People just say random stuff because they saw a panhandler or something.

I stayed around marble arch last year and did not think it was unsafe. I walked home at night. Marble arch is pretty busy and touristy, so there are lots of people around.

A single review about someone feeling unsafe shouldn't worry you. I once was chatting with someone who was terrified to go out by herself by the water front in Old Town Alexandria.

It’s fine. One of my friends who had never been to London before stayed near marble arch and remarked to me (I am from London) that there were an extraordinary number of people wearing hijab around there… I wonder if seeing so many Muslims is what that reviewer was saying!
