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
- New venues worth checking out
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers
Avoid London? Or is it fine?

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.
