Most visitors usually go to Wembley for only part of a day, requiring no temporary shelter.
However, some of us favour making an occasion of their stay, so paying attention to being safe is a priority.
Below are a few advice about staying safe in Wembley, Brent.
- Room Safe - Most places you stayover often make available a Safe for your use. Do use it to keep safe your valuables, your travel documents and other valuable items. If you prefer to use the room Safe, take a few minutes to become happy that that you're able to open and close it before entrusting your money into it.
- Hotel Uber - Hotels will typically arrange a cab for you if you need one. So it's better to start your journey at the hotel. Taking a Uber is the best thing to do.
- Return Travel - Be sure that your ride returns you right to your place of stay, just in case. If you've partied a bit too hard, this saves you the hassle of having to make when you are most vulnerable.
- Stranger Danger - Avoid asking people you don't know for directions. I tend to ask public servants over other people. It's wiser to pop into a chemist or other hotel to get assistance should you need it.
- Money Belt - If you prefer not to store items in the hotel safe, it's wisest to buy one of the many money belts available. Even so, take with you as little as you can to reduce any likely loss.
- Stay Elusive - No matter how friendly people are, consider withholding your your hotel address, especially not which room you're staying in. Better still plan to meet up other people in a neutral place or perhaps the hotel's reception area.
- Stay In Touch With Home - You, no doubt have friends who love you and who would desire the best for you. So, it's clever to leave with them your detailed itinerary and keep in touch with them as often as you can, telling them that all is ok with you.
- Must You Go Visiting? - Similarly, you may want to avoid visiting someone in their hotel room no matter how genuine the reasons may seem. Things can change fast, and you may find yourself in a situation equally fast. In emergencies, we still find it hard to be unreasonable to people we know could cause us harm. Our survival instincts have become dull. Be ready to retake control of any circumstance by being dare I say violent when necessary. If you've misjudged the situation, it's OK to say sorry later, if necessary.
- Common Sense - Wherever you go, ensure that the local area is familiar with people around.
- Trust Your Senses - It is safest always to rely on your common sense when travelling by yourself. Your feelings are all you have. Treat them as such. If feeling in doubt, act to protect yourself sooner rather than later. By this, I mean do what it takes - turn around, cross over the street, get a taxi or do what you feel you need to when appropriate.
