For decades l passed through London at least three times a year, sometimes staying to visit favorite places and museums. I felt quite comfortable walking back to the hotel after the theater. But no more. Though I was there for the London New Year's Eve Fireworks I wasn't comfortable with the walk back. Nothing bad happened to my small party but we did see sufficient violence in progress that I won't do it again in a hurry. What I saw was mostly bar fights spilled out into the street. Didn't see any guns or knives in use but did see lots of bottles and bar glasses smashed in the street and the jagged ends of some being carried in a threatening manner. London is no longer the peaceful place it used to be. Maybe just too long since the WW-II bombings thought people to live together and look out for each other.
Is a new war what it will take to make things (afterward) more peaceful?
