London Budget Travel Tips

  • In London it is cheaper to travel on the buses rather than the Tube, and if you get the front seat of a double decker bus you get to see where you are going, and way better value than the Tour Buses!! Tip from aboo10
  • If you are feeling adventurous, head for places like South London's Brixton Market (they also have a farmer's market first Saturday of every month), in the market itself there are some great restaurants tucked away with some great food for really affordable prices. Tip from moshimoshineko
  • London only breaks the bank if you get trapped in the tourist hot spots. If you want a reasonable night out check out some of the quirky bars in Camden...not to mention Camden market has some great bargains. Tip from MaryyyB

London

London is a cultural melting pot where people from around the world have found a home, a legacy of their colonialist past and a great contributor to its vibrant culture today: according to the 2001 census, over a quarter of the population of London was born outside the United Kingdom.

Stayed for four nights and it's a great place! Would certainly go again or try one of the other Bestplace Inn. The rooms are good, breakfast is good enough and it's a very pleasent place to stay. The pizzas are marvelous, the bar is nice to hang out in with some kareoke and lots of Londoners comming in. ... more

All in all a good choice to someone who wants to stay cheap and still be near to the city. The 15-bed-mix dorm was very small to so many people.

Don't expect hostel service. Actually their is no service. Just like you are renting an apartment for a short stay. In general, everything is just fine, not really good or anything.
