Yes, while tourism is small part of the GDP in the USA, for England, it is massive. They shouldn’t do anything to make them less attractive.
FWIW, I love Scotland and hate London more each time I visit. The Scottish are friendly and have great food. London is very unfriendly.
Never been to London and when my friend and I were discussing our trip she said...are we gonna do London too? I said no we are flying straight into Edinburgh. We’ll be there 2 weeks. So excited!
