The start of the year is a great time to plan a budget trip to London. After hotels and restaurants were fully booked throughout the Christmas and New Year period, guests tend to be more cautious about travelling in the early months of the year and you can often get a cheaper rate in the quieter season. This means that anyone travelling to London can enjoy a quieter city and many great deals. Let’s take a look at how to plan a budget trip to London to make the most of your time in the city without breaking the bank.
Make the Most of Public Transportation London has one of the world’s best public transportation systems, meaning there’s no reason to rely on taxis or Uber to get around. Many of our London hotels allow you to walk to the major attractions you might want to visit. Should you want to explore the city more, the tube is extremely convenient and quick for getting around. It’s used by visitors and locals alike to get to places that would take too long to walk and will help keep your trip to London within a reasonable budget.
Be Flexible About When You Can Travel We know that not everyone is able to take time off work at the start of the year, but if you have the flexibility to travel in the week, this is one of the easiest ways to save money. That being said, when you are planning a visit during the week, you also need to keep an eye on events in the city, as many business visitors come at the start of the year to set themselves up for success. Play around with the dates you have open to you with the booking tool on our site to find the best hotel rates.
Visit Free Museums and Attractions in London People often think that you’ll have to spend a fortune to see many of the city’s best attractions, but you’ll be shocked to learn how much you can do for free in London. Some of our favourite free attractions in the city include the British Museum, the Tate Modern, Westminster Abbey, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. While there are some attractions that are definitely worth budgeting for, you’ll find you can enjoy the city’s arts and culture scene without spending anything.
While London has a reputation for being an expensive city, there are many ways to save money during a stay here. All of our London hotels would be the ideal base for your next stay, offering you all of the amenities you would need to make the most of your time in the city. You can save money on dining out by shopping at local stores or enjoying the city’s many markets, offering you budget-friendly eats to save you from wasting money.
