Australia has warned tourists to be vigilant while visiting British cinemas, theatres and bars because of the threat of terrorism.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's updated travel advice for the United Kingdom also warned Australians to be aware on public transport in Britain including the London Underground.
"Australians should be aware that, while there is currently no specific information to suggest an imminent terrorist attack in the United Kingdom, political leaders and police authorities of the United Kingdom have warned of the high probability of some kind of attempted terrorist action," the advice said.
"In view of the ongoing risk of such attacks, security measures for key United Kingdom installations, such as economic interests, public transport, ports of entry and airports (including Heathrow - the major point of entry to the United Kingdom for Australians) remain on heightened alert," the statement said
"Police have warned the public to be vigilant at cinemas, theatres, pubs and nightclubs and on all types of public transport," it added.
The advisory also alerts Australian tourists to a spate of assaults which have occurred late at night on public transport in the United Kingdom.
Pickpocketing and street theft at tourist spots and on public transport was on the rise, while sexual assaults had occurred in unlicensed taxis, it said.
The government also warned Australian travellers to be careful using automatic teller machines in the United Kingdom because of card scams.
The upgraded travel advice did not alter the overall threat level in the United Kingdom.
