There's literally thousands of things to do in London.

My plan the next time I go to London is visit Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace and Kensington Palace. Cost for 1 year membership is £61 for couple paying by DD. ...or £80 with up to 6 children.

If you are not going for several months and will be there on a weekday then I'd highly recommend a tour of the Elizabeth Tower and Big Ben. Book the 11:15 tour and you'l be up at the top when the bell rings out 12 times for midday. Houses of Parliament website had information on how to apply and it's free.

If you are not going for a while, I recommend booking the evening Ceremony of the Keys for the Tower - it's free but there are limited places each night and it gets booked up early

Also if you are gonig by train look into the 2-4-1 tickets which may save you more

Maybe too late for your trip but the Emirates cable car is a great way to see London from the sky & not too expensive either.

Reduced tickets with an Oyster card.

Megatrain tickets are not excepted for 2-4-1 ticket offers.

Hi, I have just booked birmingham to Watford junction on London midland and Euston to birmingham on virgin, both booked on virgin website. Will these be valid for 241 attractions? If so how does it work? Thanks

I really enjoyed crossing tower bridge with the glass floor. For London its quite cheap.
I enjoyed the Shard but more pricey at around £20-25 a person.


Lots of free museums to enjoy, they ask for a £5 donation.

natural history museum is very good. They go early to avoid big queues.
