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 good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.
