In London

Theres your issue. Most places are not London. London works very differently to the rest of the country, where most of us live. You'll rarely see a police officer, and you certainly wont see them walking anywhere.

Yet I live in a town in the midlands and I see police weekly and they do in fact walk. You can’t generalise the whole country based on anecdotes.
