bell firstly let's talk about when to
visit the UK has temperamental whether
it rains far too often and London is not
fun when you get caught outside during a
rainstorm April to June is the best time
to visit the weather is getting warmer
and there is less chance of rain
September and October are also good
times to visit however we recommend you
take a light jacket especially in the
evenings July and August can be
wonderfully warm but London is
incredibly busy and hotel can be double
the price personally I love visiting
London at the beginning of December when
the city sparkles and Christmas lights
and you find Christmas markets all over
but again expect the crowds and a wrap
up warm remember to check school
holidays and bank holidays before
booking your trip as well
now we're going to talk about the cost
of London London and travel around the
UK can be expensive but there are also
ways to visit London on a budget you can
find chain hotels such as Travel Lodge
and Premier Inn in many neighborhoods
around the city with rooms costing as
little as 60 pounds a night when you're
booked in advance you can even find
hostels that include breakfast for
around 20 pounds when budgeting your
trip to London you will want to include
transportation the tube is the best way
to get around London and it costs to
pound 30 a trip avoid using the Wicker
shores and black cabs around the city
they are expensive and the city is full
of traffic anyway
heads to a takeaway shop or street
vendor for lunches from five pounds
whilst dinners will cost you upwards of
ten pounds to save some money consider
eating at the chain restaurants such as
Nando's Pizza Express Wagga Mama's and
the gourmet burger kitchen a few other
ways to save money in London is by
walking as often as you can
saving money on the tube and bus fares
you could also take advantage of the
free attractions in the city most
museums are free to enter landmarks are
of course free and you can join one of
the three walking tours ran every day
you can find a schedule of these on free
tours by foot or strawberry tours we
will leave a link to our favorite free
tours in the description below
for attractions in London book tickets
in advance to save money use the
national rail two-for-one offers and get
discounted prices on sites and
restaurants from Groupon if you're
planning to see all the sites in London
you may want to get yourself a London
pass we will leave the link in the
description below but this path means
that you can see lots of attractions at
discounted prices next we are going to
talk about how to get around London the
easiest way to get around London is by
taking the tube the underground takes
you around the city and within walking
distance to most sites in London to save
time queuing for tickets each time get
yourself an oyster card or use
contactless debit cards walking around
London is possible but why not use the
bike rental scheme around the city which
allows you to rent a bike by the hour

not sure what to eat in London make sure
you try fish and chips have a full
English breakfast and try some of the
international foods in Bella market
London has lots of fine dining options -
and the Howards food hall is a must
there are many things to see and do in
London and these are just a few of our
favourite first is Tower Bridge this
iconic bridge stands over the Thames of
even houses and exhibition inside not
far from the bridge is the Tower of
London a historic prison in the heart of
the city make sure you spend some time
window shopping in Oxford Street and
Covent Garden or head up to the top of
the shard for incredible views of the
city want to enjoy the skyline without
the price tag head up to the sky garden
for free but make sure to book an
arrival time in advance mingle with
royalty at Buckingham Palace and spend
time in Westminster to visit the iconic
Big Ben houses of parliament and
Westminster Abbey visiting London with
family jump on the London Eye or visit
the Harry Potter studio tour on the
outskirts of the city
before visiting London we have a few
more London travel tips for you when
using escalators in London always stay
on the right remember that people drive
on the left in London so make sure to
check the right way before crossing a
road if you are short on time you may
want to use a hop-on hop-off bus to see
the sights in one day tipping is not
required in London but some restaurants
will add a service charge if you plan on
using the underground make sure you
download the free tube app to help
navigate yourself around the city make
sure you pack layers of raincoat and
umbrella and comfortable shoes

pay extra to stay in central London it
can be tempting to stay on the outskirts
of the city but with the train fare
coming in and out of central London it
works out just as expensive to stay on
the outskirts as it is in central London
itself what does your West End show make
sure you book tickets in advance on
Ticketmaster or hello tickets you can
even snag some last-minute tickets if
you arrive a theater at 10:00 a.m. in
the morning so we hope you have an
