Given the population of London - 7.000.000 the chances of being mugged are very small and declining now the police are looking out for it. Wear them under your sleeves and do not flash them in public places such as the tube, street markets, crowded areas or in smart areas such as Bond Street, Mayfair, Chelsea etc. Also be aware of spotters in restaurants, nightclubs etc.
