Has anyone been to United Kingdom recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.
