I don't live in either, but NYC is denser, has more foot traffic. It's grid of streets, lack of alleys etc. hold few surprises.

I believe you can fool around a lot with statistics.... and no matter what statistics say, the night feels more secure in NYC than in London.

Also if you are used to a night out in Italy or France for instance, the Brits binge drinking problem creates an unsettling feeling for those not used to such a spectacle.

I love London, but I'll take Manhattan over London any day...or night.

Manhattan isn't a city, it's 22 Square Mile Island, with 1.5 million population,
and is not comparable to the 609 Square Miles of Greater London with a 7.8 million population.
