Ignore all the useless sadbrain depressives in here who rarely leave the country or their house and have no frame of reference, there's a lot to love about this bit of rock we call home. Also ignore everyone telling you to go to Wetherspoons what the gently caress is that about. Personally I hate London but then I'm from the North and duty bound to say that; it is objectively poo poo by most metrics that matter to me. However I love going there and being a tourist, seeing the sights, and loving off back to friendlier climes where it's not offensive to acknowledge the existence of strangers. Stay in airBnBs if you can, the friendlier they sound the better, and you're more likely to meet interesting people who actually wanna share stuff with you. Contrary to popular opinion there's a really decent food and drink scene in the UK, just do a little Internet research before you spend any time anywhere, research independent bars and cafes and restaurants and then go to them. There's a reason everyone's telling you to ignore the midlands as it is rather dull but then I'm sure with a little effort you could still have a good time. However our island is so small you may as well make the extra effort to travel to objectively nice places like the Lakes, Edinburgh, Manchester is a great city, and because I'm northern and biased also Leeds.

I'm telling myself the people recommending wetherspoons are still students and thus know gently caress all about the world and are unable to conceive of any other criteria for visiting a place except 'cheap'

CabaretVoltaire posted:Wetherspoons is fine. They have good drinks and they're cheap. Wetherspoons you're guaranteed they'll have a couple of local ales, a couple of international ales and if you ask nicely they'll give you samples of them all. A lotta people who turn their noses up at Wetherspoons go to places where they have Carling, Carling Extra Cold and Guiness. What the gently caress is wrong with you

What is so hard about finding the restaurants run by the nationality of the cuisine you're eating ffs I've been all over the States and Italy and still the best pizza I've eaten was at Franco Manca in Brixton market

You didn't have much choice in the matter but your itinerary was basically the opposite of what I'd have recommended for a first time visit OP but glad you had an enjoyable time, you seem like a good sort of person for this kind of trip. Also there's a tendency here for almost the opposite of American exceptionalism, where we like to moan we're the shittest possible place and lose sight of a lot of what is good about this country, and you seemed to experience those qualities in our less salubrious parts.
