Visited United Kingdom for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $101/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.
United Kingdom — overrated?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

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

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