If I had to pinpoint the moment I realized I wanted to be a travel writer, it was during my junior year of college when I studied abroad in London. Since then, the city has held the throne as one of my all-time favorite travel destinations\u2014but while I have nothing but fond memories from my time there, Travel + Leisure recently reported<\/a> that new data<\/a> named the United Kingdom the most dangerous city in Europe for tourists.\n<\/p>\n

With this knowledge in mind, my next visit to the UK will require a packing list featuring more safety gear, and if you have any vacations to the country on the horizon, I recommend doing the same. Looking for a place to start? You\u2019re in luck, as I\u2019ve rounded up the 10 Amazon safety essentials I\u2019d pack for any future trips to London, including an anti-theft purse<\/a>, a personal safety alarm<\/a>, and even TSA-approved luggage locks<\/a>. Everything sits under $50, and with these items in your safety gear collection<\/a>, you\u2019ll be able to take on the world (or just the UK) with the utmost confidence in your preparedness.\n<\/p>\n

Thopeb The Original Personal Safety Alarm <\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t get a personal safety alarm until after my time studying abroad in London, and while I\u2019m happy to report I didn\u2019t need one then, I\u2019d almost certainly pack mine if I were traveling there again.

It\u2019s not a weapon, so you\u2019ll be able to pack this alarm in your personal item and head through TSA (unlike pepper spray), and it\u2019s an excellent line of defense if you\u2019re feeling unsafe.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n
