A cross body bag big enough for what you were carrying in the shopping bag might be better than a back pack for sitting on the bus. I've got one that sits under my arm, and might even hold a ukelele!

And get an alarm - your local police should be able to advise you.

A friend of mine carrying nothing but some posters and drawing pins was jumped in Dulwich*, and I don't think he looks like a victim.

*Probably West Norwood, actually. But Dulwich sounds funnier.
