Are Londoners nicer in 2025? 

We believe so. Compared to a couple of decades ago, London itself is much nicer and the people seem to be infused in the feeling. Everything seems to be going well and working alright in London. 

With the Trump dollar so incredibly strong against the British pound, London feels affordable for Americans. Lodging, transportation, and food are surprisingly affordable. 

Besides affordability, which is relative, London is visitor-friendly in many ways. Streets are clean and seem safe. Police presence is noticeable yet not overwhelming. Pickpocketing can be a risk while riding the underground metro like in all major European cities, but it should not be a problem if you secure your belongings and remain alert. 

London is a foodies' paradise with high quality restaurants representing almost every ethnic culinary region in the world. Food options are as varied and cosmopolitan as London itself. Unlike Paris and Rome, where the local cuisine significantly outshines international alternatives, in London the opposite is true. International food outshines British food in London. 

Customer service in London these days is phenomenal. It gives you a Bridgerton meets Downton Abby feel with polite, diverse, and generally well-intended support all around. 

Londoners themselves seem less tight and more relaxed than in decades past. Londoners appear to be more tolerant and less rigid. They also look healthy and seem to be taking relative good care of themselves. Although smoking remains significantly more prevalent than in the United States, obesity seems less prevalent in London. 

All the random observations above just to say that London is looking good and maybe better than ever before. If you haven't been to London in a few years, considering planning a visit this coming spring 2025. You may enjoy it and provided that the Trump dollar remains relatively strong as forecasted by experts, London will feel relatively affordable. By the way, don't waste too much money getting cash because mostly everything can be paid by contactless card. You can use your phone to pay for almost everything in London. 

In sum. London is super nice these days and Londoners are nicer than ever. Plan a visit to London in 2025. Let us know how it goes.
