The Greenway - One of my tutors was punched off his bike by a gang of youths and had his bike nicked one dark evening. I wouldn't ride through there in the dark since.
Hackney Marsh - I cycled through on the path which runs up the River Lea in the dark and late evening once, nothing happened but it was definitely a bad idea. Not doing again.
Two examples of badly lit spaces and I'm sure that is a key factor in an unsafe area.
