You do know that London has a relatively low homicide rate don't you?
Knife crime is generally an order of magnatude lower than many US cities I'd also be happy to visit.
It's higher than the rest of the UK but then it is a big city.
(I live in a very rural and crime free part of the UK but love visiting London).

There's also essentially zero overlap between the people who complain about knife crime, and the people who encounter knife crime in London.
