Visited United Kingdom for 5 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $128/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 7.5/10. Exceeded expectations.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $99/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

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

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