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
- Transport tips

I was there a while back and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.

Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.

Cheers

I was there in last month and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
