London for free???

I'm going to London for two days in mid April with some friends.

Does anyone here know of any free events/things to do???

    Most of the museums are free. For other forms of entertainment have a look in the Time Out magazine http://www.timeout.com/london/

    Try looking at the LondonFreeList website.... it does exactly what it says on the tin...lists free stuff to do in London :D

    Alot of museums in London are free (give a donation if you can afford it). Having moved here recently I have been to the Horniman museum (no sniggering at the name please!!!), Natural History Museum and the V&A...all free. If its a sunny day you can easily kill a few hours watching the street entertainers down by the London Eye.

    HTH...and hope you have a lovely time!
    2008 gig list... Nickelback + Staind (OMG...Staind ROCKED!!), Roger Waters, Infadels, Pendulum, The Police, K T Tunstall, Breed 77, Biffy Clyro....oh, and Motorhead :D

    when are you going...its the marathon on 22nd April....
  • The Science Museum is good, also Borough Market on a Saturday.

    Not a freebie, but try and get yourself an Oyster Card, otherwise at least use travel cards. Single bus and tube fares are now expensive. e.g. a single bus fare costs £2, with Oyster it is £1.

    Enjoy yourself

    Hey Greenpixey

    You should also go to the Tate Modern their free collections are brilliant and the sculptures in the turbine hall are always amazing. A walk along the South Bank is really nice on a Sunday.

    If you're going to be out in the city then you might think about cashing in some clubcard points for eating out vouchers? Or for evening food, go out a bit earlier and get a fixed price theatre menu, usually around £12 for 2 or 3 courses. You can also look at the offers on https://www.toptable.co.uk - I think you also get Piggy points back for making a booking.

    Have a nice time :)
