If you’ve been avoiding visiting London because of how expensive it is, don’t.
There are so many free, interesting things to do in London that all you really need is a train ticket and a place to sleep in. You don’t need to spend hundreds of pounds a day to have an amazing time – there are so many free or inexpensive, amazing things to do! For the best trip, skip the tourist traps and have the Londoner’s experience.
Go to an Art Exhibition
There is so much more to London’s museum and gallery scene than the big museums like the Tate or the Natural History Museum. There are contemporary galleries across London that have free admittance and allow the lovers of art to come and marvel and some of the amazing installations that the world has to offer, from some of the biggest names in the art industry. All you need to do is know what’s going on, where!
Go to a Pop-Up Shop
Pop-ups are amazing because they aren’t designed to last. This means that they can sell interesting, eclectic things, food, or services. They are novelty stores, and their novelty is partially in the fact that they come and go in a very short period of time. Not only are they fun to go to, but they’re also not very well advertised. This means that when you find one (either online or by accident), it’s one of the most unique experiences in London that you’ll have.
Get Pampered
What’s a trip to London if you don’t get a little pampered? To get the best deals, look just outside London. You can get a Waltham Cross massage without venturing too far from London, and book in a mini-retreat on your visit to the capital. London is where you should go to have fun, unwind, and come back exhilarated.
See Live Music
You don’t have to pay a fortune to see live music. There are many small places around London that offer free music with your meal or drink. As with everything, it’s knowing about where to go in advance that will make sure you get an amazing experience for a low price-tag!
Walk (And Take a Bus)
London is a beautiful city, and there are so many things to do that you, quite frankly, won’t ever be able to find on a website. Walking around is a great way to see and get to know the city, and taking London’s buses is another experience you have to add to the list. London is so beautiful that even a city bus-ride can be a tour!
London doesn’t have to be expensive. There are half-off days at restaurants, sales, deals, and so many free things to do that it would be impossible to do them all in a weekend. Don’t get caught up in the prices of places until you see the calibre of what you can do for very little money in London.
