Visited United Kingdom for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $114/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.
Quality in United Kingdom — trending up or down?

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $145/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $143/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
