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 in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
