On the other hand, although I find driving in SF much more stressful and confusing than London(despite being a native RHT driver), I never managed to get a ticket in SF. Every time I visit London I keep getting letters with some bullshit traffic violation captured by a camera for months after I am back.

Also having lived in London for 7 years, I can't say I felt safe walking at night other than in the very central places. Try visiting Elephant and Castle or Seven Sisters alone during the night.

Edit: spelling

Did you ever park outside a parking garage?

Did that many times, it was fine? Only place I've ever felt unsafe was Brentford after I got hassled there.

Did you enter the congestion zone without paying?

That's fined pretty swiftly.
