London, United Kingdom
Belgravia is London's most exclusive and safest area with Georgian architecture and embassy security. Extremely safe but also extremely expensive, with limited dining options. Good if money is no object and you want ultimate safety.
Belgravia is the safest area in London, hands down. All those embassies mean armed police patrols and CCTV everywhere. It's incredibly quiet and expensive - think £15 cupcakes and £65 afternoon tea. The streets are pristine Georgian terraces and it feels more like a wealthy village than central London. After dark it's almost deserted, but in a safe way, not a scary way. The downside is there's not much to do here besides expensive shopping and hotel bars. If money is no object and safety is your top priority, this is where you want to be.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
Mayfair is the safest and most expensive part of London. Good for luxury shopping and fine dining if you can afford it. Very low crime and upscale atmosphere, but expect to pay premium prices for everything.
South Kensington is museum central with good safety and a residential feel. More expensive but worth it if you're into culture and want somewhere quiet and well-connected.
Chelsea is safe, residential, and upscale with boutique shopping on King's Road. More expensive but less touristy than central areas. Good choice if you want somewhere quiet and well-maintained.
