Travelling to a capital city anywhere in the world can be expensive so tourists will definitely want to save money. There are many ways to do this and in a culturally rich city like London there are plenty of methods to be frugal and still have fun. The English capital is ideal for families as there is so much to do for young ones. Travellers can head to one of the many parks across the city, which are perfect for a leisurely afternoon walk or a morning run. The most obvious one to choose is Hyde Park that has a spectacular children’s playground, the opportunity to have a boat ride on the Serpentine Lake and offers the glorious Serpentine Galleries ideal for arts fans.
Guests to the city should also have a walk in the beautiful Kensington Gardens that neighbours Hyde Park. Tourists should definitely head to the Houses of Parliament to have a look at this stunning building while also checking out Big Ben and the London Eye all for free. There are also so many cultural institutions including the British Museum, the National Gallery and the Science Museum that are free and well worth visiting. There are other smaller museums that are dotted around the city that have no fee to get into so guests should plan before they arrive.
Shopping in London has to be a must when visiting but travellers should instead pick places that will provide great deals. Heading off the usual tourist trail shoppers should choose cheaper markets such as the top Portobello Road Market, in Notting Hill. Here there are vintage clothes, antiques and books among other great souvenir or gift items. Camden Market, in north London, is also a great destination mainly for crafts and food. Plenty of money can be spent when guests eat out, so a great way to save is to book a self-catering room with kitchen and cook back at the hotel. This will definitely save travellers some cash during their trip to see London.
Planning the trip to the capital is important and tourists should try and come along when it’s not peak season so that they can avoid high air tickets and room prices. The summer months are always expensive so that should be considered. Guests could rent a flat or apartment during the trip if travelling as part of a family. Transport is also a major concern for tourists when heading to London so guests should get an Oyster card or Travelcard. There are numerous ways to save when heading to the English capital that ensure tourists are guaranteed a great time.
