A typical post picks up 21 interactions against 1.4M followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 309 original posts, its engagement rate beats 18% of 6,873 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 12K times each, and 0.17% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.895% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline.

Measured over 309 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 10, 2026. Recurring tags: #bbctravelalert, #london, #bbclondontravel.
