not anymore. but if you need any help with london, (i.e. where to shoot, safety) let me know.
What are the safety concerns? I will be there soon as well, thinking to just walk along the River Thames and access the attractions along the river and also those nearby.
there are some areas that are more dodgey than others.
e.g. clapham area, brixton area, hackney area. the violent crime rate will be higher.

that said, most of central london which tourists will go to is safe. the most dangerous thing that might happen is that you might get your wallet stolen.
Hmm... indeed cause for concern. I'm staying at Mile End for a night. Heard that place is pretty quiet as well. Thanks for the info night86mare.
Any reputable camera shop selling camera and accessories at good price in London?
I will be staying there for sometime.

i have only perused online shops.
physical shops wise, jessops is ok, but price is not good at all, unless there is offer.
better to molest the gear at jessops, and then order online at:
1) morrisphoto
2) warehouse express
3) amazon
combination of these three will give you relatively competitive prices for sure, maybe not the cheapest, but these 3 are very reliable.
there are also other online shops, but i haven't ordered from them before, so i cannot say for sure.
that said, you will not find many steals in london, uk pricing for camera gear is significantly higher, so i suggest you hold back and buy in singapore. 80% of the time it will be cheaper.
if you want to find good steals, you can try ebay uk. old lenses, old film cameras can go for really much cheaper than what you find in sg. expired film too!
Would it be safe if I carry a bag full of equipment?
I need thinking of getting some filter for landscaping. So I should get these in Singapore?
i do think that i was overreacting, but i was new then, and that place was really quiet, so i ran. :angel:
