Or maybe pre-Brexit? The Eurostar runs a very much reduced schedule to before Brexit, and ferries are not really a good alternative for a city break.
I actually prefer places to be quieter because it’s just a better experience, the obsession with having everywhere packed to the brim isn’t great. Going to a museum during the week is totally different to going at the weekend when places are packed.
People are happy to go back to sitting indoors now.

>Perfect storm of Covid, Brexit, energy prices and cost of living crisis blamed for disappointing figures
No one wants to come to this authoritarian corrupt expensive country anymore and I can’t blame them.
It cost me and my wife $100 USD to visit Westminster Abbey for an hour a couple of weeks ago. Could it be that cost is becoming a factor?
Hoo boy. This is only going to get worse once we all have to start providing bloody fingerprints to visit countries inside/outside shengen for a holiday.
Nothing to do with COVID. Have they not realised that people are skint and travel and entry to attractions is usually very expensive.
Or people are to scared to travel after a worldwide virus and it could also be done to that the cost of living is worldwide awhile. But nope it’s all done to Brexit how silly of me
Cost of living crisis only made things worse but price-gouging by many attractions and accommodation providers, trying to cash in on people not going abroad, did nothing to help them. They put prices up and never brought them down, which put a lot of people off UK attractions. It is just not value for money anymore.
Train strikes I expect have had an impact. No-one planning ahead for a visit.
This isn’t covid. This is brexit and the cost of living. All aboard the downwards spiral!
Cost of living? Fewer visitors from the EU? They’re just over-priced tat? They take bungs from petrochemical polluters?
