Visited United Kingdom for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $133/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?

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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
