Visited United Kingdom for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $82/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
