Average Vacation Expenses in United Kingdom
12.1%
— value growth in dollar since 2016
Brexit and a handful of other factors have made the U.S. dollar about 12.1% more valuable in terms of Pounds since 2016. Clocking in at the top half of the price rankings for nearly all categories except for groceries and flights, the UK isn’t exactly a cheap getaway. But it is cheaper now than it usually is.
