In a now-viral TikTok video, the tourist, known as @kayleighbanks, documented her visit to The Moon Under Water in London’s Leicester Square, one of Wetherspoons’ most famous locations.
'What Is This Place?!'
From the moment she walked in, the tourist was both confused and fascinated by the no-frills, budget-friendly pub experience. "I don’t understand what this place is," she admitted in the video, before marvelling at the cheap prices and ordering a burger and chips for just £7.45.
From Confusion to Obsession
By the end of her meal, she was completely sold. "I’m obsessed with Wetherspoons," she declared, praising the food, the atmosphere, and the unbeatable value for money.
The video has since racked up thousands of likes and comments, with Brits and tourists alike sharing their own Wetherspoons experiences and recommendations.
