British pound hits record low against the dollar

I lived in London for some years and wouldn’t choose to go to the UK as a tourist in the summer. There is a reason everyone in the UK goes to Europe in summer - it is much nicer.

I live in London and would choose to go to the UK as a tourist at pretty much any time of the year. Plenty to see and do.

London weather gets bad rep but I find it pretty good. Rarely goes below zero degrees Celsius and is rarely so hot that you struggle. I actually prefer London weather to central/south European one for example. More consistent, pleasant all year round. This is all personal though...

I would agree. Perhaps if it got more sunny days, but temps wise it's not at all.

When I was in Paris a local informed me that Paris gets more rain than London. I suspect though London rain is more spread out throughout the year.

The tragedy of the UK is that its many spots with world-class beauty such as the Lake District, Snowdonia, or the breath of Scottish Highlands aren't as popular internationally as they should be since they are pricy.

Maybe it's for the best: hiking trails not being extremely crowded during the warm seasons makes tourism more enjoyable.
