Safety for American visiting London, UK - American Oval Signage

I'm traveling from Seattle, USA to London, UK in March 2020. My cousin (half British) is getting married to his British girlfriend in Farnham. I'm a 40 year old American, single, white man.

I did a lot of international travel as a child with my family but have only been to Canada as an adult (Vancouver), which wasn't too difficult as it's very similar to America. I'll be staying near Hyde Park.

Any tips on how to stay safe in London?

I'm just a little concerned about getting robbed or mugged. I currently live in Redmond, which is a very safe suburb of Seattle.
