“London has a reputation for being expensive, but some of my favourite days here barely cost anything.”@MilesBeforeMonday · 1 month ago
Living in London, I still gasp at the price of a single tube journey. Yes, this city is painfully expensive (my bank account cries daily 🫠), but you can absolutely do 5 days here and have the best time!
Here is my curated, budget-friendly 5-day survival guide. Grab your brolly and let's go! 🌧️👇
✨ My absolute faves:
· British Museum: It’s free! (Curator assistant perk: seeing the Rosetta Stone up close never gets old). Just book ahead!
· Tower Bridge & Big Ben: Best at twilight. Golden hour here is unmatched 🤩
· Borough Market: Foodie heaven. Go hungry, leave happy.
· Notting Hill: Colourful houses and cute market stalls. Peak relaxation.
📅 The 5-Day Cheat Sheet:
D1: Big Ben walk -> Tower Bridge at night 🌉
D2: British Museum -> Trafalgar Square -> Covent Garden eats
D3: Royal vibes at Buckingham Palace -> Notting Hill wandering 🌸
D4: Day trip to Windsor Castle (v. historical, v. pretty)
D5: Feasting at Borough Market 🤤
💡 How to save your pennies:
1. Tap in with contactless or an Oyster card! Never buy single paper tickets, please.
2. Hit up local pubs in residential areas for Sunday roast or Shepherd's pie instead of pricey tourist-trap restaurants.
3. Pack layers. The British weather is basically a moody teenager.
