Visited United Kingdom for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $53/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 7.5/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

This is outdated info IMO.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

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