planning a 1-week trip to London for tourism (an by tourism i mean hanging out at Cafes, Bars, and Brothels)
>what's the cost range?
>what areas are fun? I'm a walker and train rider, i hate taxis
>how much would a 1-month stay cost in a reasonably priced Airbnb?
this will probably my one and only visit to the UK, since as turd-worlder the visa cost me an arm and a leg
picrel for your troubles

do you want me to hold your hands while you type on google while we're at it ? holy fuck can't you fucking nigga search anything by yourself ?

NIGGER maybe i wanted to have a conversation about it

>third worlder
>going to one of the most expensive cities just to drink
Why not go somewhere like Budapest or Tbilisi? Or even SEA? It'll be a lot cheaper and you'll probably have more fun
>>
>>2873487
because someone from place A might want to see something that does not look like place A at all
you literal mentally retarded autistiggers are incapable of seeing perspectives other than your own

>>2873491
OP literally said he only cares about cafe, bars, and brothels. London and England in general has plenty to see, but if those are OPs priorities I don't see the point.
He also never said where he's from. How do you know what his place looks like?
>>
>>2873487
That's every Third Worlder. They only care about the cities with the most worldwide name recognition. You think Ranjesh's social media followers will care about his trip to Tbilisi? None of them have even heard of it.
>>2873468
>spend a bunch of money for the privilege of spending a whole lot more money "hanging out"
And you're going to do this alone or what? Sounds pretty lame. Unless you're really good looking, it's likely that you will remain alone and ignored by everyone. Don't forget, your "dream once-in-a-lifetime trip" is their daily slog. They don't share your enthusiasm about London whatsoever.

alone yes.
i'm not going there to meet people or play silly social games anon, I'm going there to cope and contemplate existence for a bit before going back to my detestable shit hole.

Go to at least one West End production. Les Mis is obviously the best. Not only are they well worth the cost, but Soho is fun to walk around drunk after the show is over.
Day trips to the country can be nice, go hiking in the Chilterns or the South Downs.

you solved a captcha solely for the opportunity to be this dumb?

I did this Jack The Ripper tour in Whitechapel as a kid and I still remember it two decades later, so maybe that
I also liked the underground cafe and Churchill's bunker was very cool
Have a good time anon, kino movie btw

I am eastern European and I was living in Croydon for one month. The black gentleman folk, even youths, were friendly to me and I had any issues. Most of the people love to talk to strangers in London, it seems. What's this phonomen? Why were they so friendly? Am I being just autistic?

It's all on a sliding scale. As you know your brethren from the Warsaw Pact all hate humanity and life itself, and don't feel alive until they can scowl at a darling old lady. Smiling is a sign of retardation or of actively planning to sodomise the smile's recipient. From this background, it's little wonder you thought everyone was friendly. Conversely, Americans, who visit London in large numbers and write most of the travel discourse about it, have the milk of human kindness flowing through their veins because they are innocent like children. They will start telling the roadmen about their little niece Tammy and nephew Tanner, their hopes and dreams, the nice young lady at college who hopefully Tanner will marry some day, and so on. When they are greeted with a boilerplate response or an hour an uninterested grunt, they naturally think that the Euros are a very stuck-up and cold people. Then of course they go to Paris, and learn the true meaning of "stuck up and cold", at which time they feel positively raped.
It's a funny old world we live in.

Don't forget to eat some fish n chips innit m8

If you don't mind seedy, try Soho. There. Are doorways, walk up stairs, knock on the door and you'll get laid for £32+
>>
>>2873649
You picked the wrong place for that anon, either it will be sunny and there will tons of normies everywhere laughing and having a good time or it will be grey/raining and it will be very depressing.

London doesn't have a good 'lonely and contemplative' vibe at all. New York and Paris maybe but not London, its quite bland actually. Believe me i've lived here all my life and I am lonely and contemplative and I just go to the cinema and art galleries.

If this is your one and only visit to the UK then I guess you just have to do all the usual tourist shit, you can pretty much walk everywhere and public transport is good to get you anywhere you want to go, expect everything to cost a fortune too.

does the metro/subway have a rechargeable/prepaid card i can buy like the Istanbul metro? since you've lived here anon, i appreciate any tips you can give for a first time traveler to make the most of it.
>>
>>2879884
further to this, thinking of staying in Covent Garden based on ChatGPT recs.
>>
>>2879884
in contrary to what this anon says I think London is great. I live in north england and have visited several times and it's night and day compared to northern cities, there's a seemingly never ending list of places to visit, things to see, food to eat and it's somewhere I'd like to live someday. The public transport is fantastic, you can get pretty much anywhere in the city without much trouble. On the sunny days there's plenty to do outside and vice versa for the rainy days there's art galleries, museums, bars whatever the fuck you want to do. The place is teeming with immigrants and tourists of all types and colours (in some places you can walk for 5 minutes before hearing a british accent) which is something to be aware of but overall I think you'll have a good time

anons i narrowed down the places to stay at to 3 potential hotels (only ones with picrel):
>The 55 by Le Mirage (Westminster)
>The Villa Kensington (Kensington)
>London Court Hotel (Kesington)
which one is the better area/location?
>>
>>2879908
I mean Mayfair, SoHo, Covent Garden etc are where you want to be as a tourist. I’d stay in Westminster over Kensington just for the proximity.
>>
>>2879916
i thought as long as it's close to the subway, it's ok
>>
>>2879919
this is true. most places anywhere in the vicinity of central london are a 15/20 minute tube ride from anywhere you might want to go. unless you care about having shit right on your doorstep you can be pretty flexible with there you want to stay, I've stayed in Kensington most times I've visited

should i book a pub crawl as a 35 y/o boomer? or will i be looked at as a weirdo?

>should i book a pub crawl as a 35 y/o boomer? or will i be looked at as a weirdo?
Completely unacceptable. Go to a bingo hall or some shit unc.
>>
>>2880160
Do people really "book" pub crawls? Can't you just go out and do it? I don't drink so I don't know.
