Tower HamletsはCanary Wharfも入ってますが、White Chapelも入ってます。
Bow Food Bankとあるのでそのあたりですかね。V&A Eastができる公園の近くですね。

Once he arrived on his doorstep in Bermondsey, the man was ambushed, grabbed around his neck and put in a chokehold. While he was sprawled on the ground, one robber gripped his wrist in an attempt to steal the timepiece, but couldn’t work out how to detach the clasp.

やっぱりメンズの腕時計。酔っ払いはターゲットになりやすいです。

Berkeley Square。昔はMay Fairのホテルだったのに。。。いまや。。。
まあ、古いApple Watchは酔っ払っていても強盗には狙われそうもないですね。安全第一。
