London: Cheap sights, eats and sleeps

London is a truly multi-faceted city with so much to offer tourists from historic architecture, marvellous museums, stunning sculptures and statues and acres of exquisite parkland. London is not typically the first destination that comes to mind for a budget break, however with our top tips your visit to the capital need not be an expensive affair.

Firstly you can save a great deal of money by booking your accommodation and travel arrangements online. There are hundreds of quality cheap London hotel deals to be found on the World Wide Web, so get browsing for your perfect city break base. We recommend somewhere central like the Reem Hotel so that you are only a short walk from the city attractions such as Big Ben, The London Eye, Tower Bridge and Westminster Abbey. Plus close proximity to several tube stations means you can travel anywhere in London in a matter of minutes.  

The best way to experience the capital is on foot, as you can fully appreciate the breath-taking city scapes and the exquisite architecture for free, or our preferred method is sitting in the iconic Trafalgar Square with a cappuccino while overlooking the famous Nelson’s Column and the National Gallery. 

If history, art and culture is what floats your boat then you will be spoilt for choice with the fantastic range of free art galleries and museums that London has to offer. The Victoria & Albert Museum is an excellent choice where visitors can enjoy historic furniture, fashion, jewellery, photographs and paintings and more.

Another popular and completely free activity is a picnic in one of the vast Victorian parks in London. With eight to choose from you and y our loved one will be spoilt for choice, but we recommend packing some champers, truffles and delicate finger sandwiches for a luxurious alfresco dining experience in Hyde Park.

If you are looking for some entertainment then look no further than Covent Garden where you can sit and be amazed at the street entertainers showcasing their talents for all in the West End. A must see during a visit to London is the Changing of the Guard which occurs every day at 11.30am outside Buckingham Palace. There is no charge to watch or photograph this historic tradition, but make sure you get there early for the best front row view of The Queen’s Guard in all their ceremonial regalia.
