I visited London in 1985 and was not impressed by British society even back then (trashy, weird people, hospitals reeked of urine, etc.).

Agreed.

I have a British friend who travels to the US often and notes how much better things run here, with friendlier and more efficient service. I tell him we’re not far behind the UK in our decline.

Went to Bath for 6 days and then London for 3 or 4 days in 2015 or so. Christmas time in Bath was beautiful. Since it was 80% business trip, we stayed in very nice places. It was a good time. London agai, great place to stay and convenient. Literally walk out the hotel and see parlement Big Ben. London was nice to see but not nice like Bath.

Travel is what you make of it. My wife and I went just before covid hit and had a wonderful time. Walked from Kensington palace to tower of London. Road the train to Windsor and cambridge. All of it enjoyable.
