Tourist backlash in London?

[Anonymous]

lol been to Normandy with a D-Day vet. If you ever feel unwelcome, just put in context for yourself

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn’t wondering about anti-American sentiment, just anti-tourist like in Barcelona. Sounds like it’s not a problem in London.

So true, the Scots have overrun the place

Whatever you want to think. Even the Brits talk about it. It is just what it is. An international mecca with the "britishness" left more disneyfied than real. OP will be fine.

That is absolutely nothing new for London. London was founded by the Romans and has been an immigrant city pretty.much ever since.

That's also just large cities. Find me any large financial center that doesn't have an international population.

Get in a cab. You will hear that they are mad about the situation and are looking for change.

Cabbies are always mad about something. But it’s true there is an increase in anti-immigrant sentiment.

Yeah, no... now 36.8% White, British. That is a definite change.

Dh is british and we take the family there every year. Everyone hates everyone in London, not just Americans. It's just a really mean city, like NYC. The smaller towns i find very welcoming. Then again my ILs live in a tiny village where everyone knows everyone. We come in and the candy shop owners give my kids free sacks of candy while telling us all about their latest American adventures. I found it so refreshing and welcoming compared to London, Nottingham, Newcastle, Birmingham, and Lincoln - other places we lived or have family. I find most of the small shop keepers in those small towns just lovely - similar to here.

Oh NOW I see what you mean. Definitely so many Irish now.

I don't find England very welcoming to non-white people overall. But London certainly is an exception.

I'm in London now, and have been for a couple of weeks. No backlash issues that I've felt. It is super crowded though, much more so than my trips over earlier in the year.
