How to Save Money in London

London is one of the world's most expensive cities but it doesn’t mean you should stay away. If you’re on a budget but want to experience all that London has to offer we have a number of tips for you!

Transport
The London Underground is a very efficient way of getting around London. It’s great news for the budget traveller because it will take you to just about any part of London that would interest you and the prices are quite reasonable. If you'll be using the Tube for a number of trips, consider buying a Travelcard. There is also an Oyster Card that allows better access to overground trains. Passes for one day or a weekend also are available at lower prices.

Attractions
Avail of great discount theatre tickets and book online before you travel. Book last minute theatre tickets and save yourself a fortune on a great West End Show.

London Walks offers a variety of tours priced at £7 ($11 USD). These are guided trips on foot that last roughly two hours. Most leave in the vicinity of an Underground stop. Look for a guide holding up the company's white sign.

For attractions that require an entry fee, why not purchase a money-saving pass that will discount the costs. The London Pass allows entry into 56 admission-charging attractions, line jumping and a free guidebook. Passes good for 1-6 days and can be purchased online starting at £40 for adults and £27 for children. A six-day pass at £81 works out to about £13.50/day.
