This is a great go-to list for the next time I’m back in the UK. Surprisingly, there is so much of the UK I’ve never seen & as a Brit it’s slightly embarrassing to admit.
Reading some of those articles makes me wonder what I did with my time in London.

Jennifer recently posted..Dinner in the Dark
Wow! This list is awesome. I’m in the city now and lived here once before. If you’re not careful it’s crazy expensive, but with tips like the ones you give-it’s actually a very affordable place. The two biggest money saving tips I have is to walk instead of rely solely on the tube and take advantage of all of London’s freebies, which there are loads of! I’ll be using this post while I’m here. Cheers!
Bobbi Lee Hitchon recently posted..Dinner and a show: Circus London
I was amazed at how many free things there were to do in London! Even using the tube, we still walked A LOT…London is just a huge city, but we tried to avoid taking the tube when possible because it was so expensive.
Shanna recently posted..Where to Buy Good Whisky in London and Edinburgh
I am beginning to think I’ll need to return to London with a higher budget. The problem with making it your last stop on a trip around the world is that everything, EVERYTHING seems soooo expensive. So we didn’t do a thing other than take very long strolls, visit some free museums, and spend quality time in pubs.
Actually, now that I think about it, I might do the same with
Susan – Splendor in the Lemongrass recently posted..Frequently Asked Questions: Thai Food Edition
Yeah, I could use some quality time in the pub right now…I can’t wait to go back to London someday. I missed one of the “touristy” things that I really wanted to see there. We never made it to the Tower of London (which I have heard is expensive and touristy but SOOO worth it.)
