OK, so it's quite evident we have a few trolls in here, and a few people who've never been to Britain basing their opinions of Britain on troll advice. I'm not from London but I am English and I've been there several times (despite being a northerner). I love London, it's one of the greatest cities I have ever visited (and yes I have traveled far and wide, 4 different continents, more cities than I can count on 2 hands).
It's funny you should say October 14th, because I will be 21 years old on that day, so obviously I already have plans and will not be in London around that time, but I can give you some useful advice:
1) Don't worry about knife crime. It's hyped-up, liberal propagandist activism. I'm guessing you're American, due to the name, and according to statistics, if London was an American city it would not even rank top 10 for knife crime, and it would rank 2 or 3 (depending on source) for population, so put that into context.
2) London is undoubtedly the greatest city in our country. Don't get me wrong, we're a very diverse, and unique, country, every city you visit will give you a different experience, but London is the place you want to be as a tourist, I recommend you visit other places only once you've seen London and are acquainted with British culture.
3) There will definitely be something happening in the city no matter what time you visit. I've been there twice this year and both times there were events happening in Trafalgar Square. Places where I guarantee you will enjoy visiting are London Dungeons, Tower of London and Embankment. Other places of interest are Picadilly Square (London's equivalent of Times Square) and London Bridge. You could literally spend two weeks wandering around the city and you will find a heap of new stuff every day.
