Oh, and try to avoid all unlit, narrow environments after dark, especially canals. You will enjoy greater security on populated main streets. I'd be surprised if everybody didn't know this already, but thought I'd mention it just in case. Unfortunately, it does sometimes mean that you have to take a detour when a green link might have been your direct route (and the route that really you are entitled to take).
Other known trouble spots that we have heard about include Kingsbury Road, N1, Northchurch Road, N1 (east of the B102 Southgate Road), the main path through London Fields (plenty of assaults and muggings over the years), and Coppermill Lane east of Springfield Marina. Stay safe.
