TripHip - Travel Tips and Advice for Traveling on a Budget

The great thing about London is that there is a ton to do for free. You can visit a number of museums, galleries, and attractions for absolutely nothing. Learn about the history and culture of London without spending a dime. The following activities will cost you nothing.

• Burgh House and Hampstead Museum, Clown’s Gallery and Museum, Tate Modern, the Science Museum, and the National Portrait Gallery are all free of charge, except for special exhibits.

• Standing room only, restricted view tickets for the Jerwood Theater can be had for ten pence (ok, it’s not free, but it is pretty close).

• Queen Mary’s Rose Garden in Regent Park is a lovely spot that is absolutely free to visit.

• Naturally, one of the most popular free things to do is to watch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.

• Visit Trafalgar Square for free as well.

• Many street markets have no admission cost, but you may end up spending your souvenir budget. These include: Camden Market, Portobello Market, and Brick Lane Market.

• The world-famous Westminster Abbey is free if you go to worship.

• Witness the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London.

• The gorgeous homes of London are often available to tour. A great free one is Kenwood House.
