While an eternally fashionable destination, London is also one of the most expensive places to go on holiday, be it a long weekend or a longer stay. So if you"re looking to save as much money as possible, one of the best things to do is to draw up an itinerary of your trip before you go away, and stick to it. Set yourself a budget for each day, and remember to include the cost of food and travel in your itinerary. Research accommodation and sight-seeing tours before you leave, as you may end up paying more for them once you arrive in the UK"s capital City. When it comes to accommodation, it"s best to have a friend who lives in London already, who you can stay with for free, but if you"re not lucky enough to have a Londoner in your circle of friends, stick to familiar hotel chains, you"ll find that they often do great deals online, so check their website well in advance of your travel date to see what"s on offer.
