Budgeting and Accommodation in United Kingdom: real experience from chats

From real experience

tipFor a two-week trip to London for two people, excluding flights, budget approximately £2,000. This estimate is based on around £150 per day for both individuals, covering expenses like public transport (cheaper with a card), food (budget-friendly dining or self-catering), and accommodation.
While London can be expensive, costs can be managed by planning and utilizing cost-effective options, with prices being comparable to or slightly higher than Moscow.

caseAccommodation in Istanbul is noted as being significantly more comfortable and affordable than in London.
A 3-night stay in Istanbul cost 11,000 (currency not specified, likely TRY or rubles), offering ample space and cleanliness, including a lift. London's tourist accommodation is described as problematic, with high prices often not correlating with comfort, even lacking amenities like air conditioning.

tipFor travelers arriving at Gatwick Airport (LGW) at night with children, staying at an airport hotel like Hampton by Hilton (North Terminal) is recommended.
It eliminates the need for night-time ground transportation. When booking off-site accommodation, always confirm late check-in policies with the host/hotel, as some may cancel bookings not checked in by 18:00.

caseAccommodation options in Glasgow vary in price and quality.
A hostel on the Royal Mile was pleasant but lacked privacy. Pollock Halls Chancellor's Court, a student campus, offers a nice environment and breakfast but is expensive during summer (13k per night). Ibis Budget was criticized for being overpriced (38k for 3 nights) in early June, lacking heating, and having a poor location.
