Headline: Ed Sheeran brands London 'sketchy' and 'dangerous'

Caption: The 33-year-old singer is from Norfolk but reportedly owns properties in Battersea, Whitechapel, and Covent Garden. However, the Thinking Out Loud singer has painted a grim picture of London and suggested members of the public will be easily targeted by criminals if they carry designer products.

He added, "I think that you cannot be anywhere. It's not like a segregated city.
