Hello folks
My OH and I are having friday - monday 23 - 26 march in London, travelling by train from Manchester, staying in a hotel, and seeing some sights. Does anyone have any ideas for corner cutting on cost, or freebies?
Any ideas gratefully received :j

Start off at Westminster Bridge and walk past big ben, then No. 10, then Horse Guards Parade, then St James's Park past Buckingham Palace, then Hyde Park Corner and across the Park to Kensington palace - a great walk and all free.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

Look at the "days out thread". There are vouchers for attractions and also links to free/cheap things (like a self-guided bus tour).
Get yourself an Oyster card as it's a lot cheaper than cash on tube/bus.
You can order one on-line and it comes in about 2 days (although allow a bit more to be on the safe side).0 -
Most of the museums are free, as is National Portrait Gallery which I found to be really interesting.
Try lastminute.com for London entertainment/restaurant deals.0 -
I went last weekend.
Definitely jump on the no 18 bus outside Euston, and get off at Madam Tussauds... £2 each. Then buy a ticket for the open top bus tour. Its £18 each but valid for 48 hours... there are a few different routes depending on the bus... and you can hop off and on... better than the tube at £4 a ride!
It takes in all the major and minor attractions... thats my tip!0 -
Hmm; Tate Modern, Tate Britain, The Serpentine Gallery, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Victoria and Albert, National Gallery, British Museum, Wallace Collection (Manchester Sq) are just some of the places that are free. Get a oneday travelcard, if you don't get an Oyster. Get on one of the old Routemaster Heritage routes - No 9: Royal Albert Hall to Aldwych, No 12: Trafalgar Square to Tower Hill. There's also the Bank of England Museum (free) Wondering around St Jame's Park, Covent Garden, Soho, China Town, The City.... I could go on, it's all free.Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. - Proust0

If you have any Tesco clubcard vouchers you can use their deals for entrance to places like Madame Tussauds, food chains such as Bella Italia, etc0
