Staying Safe in Tottenham Central – Street Robbery Prevention

Staying Safe in Tottenham Central – Street Robbery Prevention

Hello Tottenham Central,

We’re committed to making our streets safe for everyone — whether you’re walking to work, meeting friends, or just popping to the shops. Street robbery is rare, but we want you to feel confident and prepared when out and about.

Here are some simple steps that can help keep you safe:

Stay alert & plan ahead – Stick to well-lit, busy streets where possible. Avoid shortcuts through alleys or quiet areas at night.

Keep valuables out of sight – Tuck phones, wallets, and jewellery away when walking. Don’t make it easy for opportunists.

Walk with confidence – Head up, aware of your surroundings, and moving with purpose.

Trust your instincts – If something doesn’t feel right, head for a busier area or safe place, such as a shop or café.

In an emergency - Call 999. If it's non-urgent but still concerning, call 101 or report online at https://www.met.police.uk/ro/report/ocr/af/how-to-report-a-crime/

Your safety matters most — property can be replaced, you can’t.

Let’s look out for each other. Share these tips with friends, family, and neighbours so together we can make Tottenham Central safer for everyone.
