Lucky!!!!!!


The Museum of London, the Natural History Museum, the Victoria & Albert and the British Museum are all free.

Feed birds in Hyde Park. Check out the Peter Pan Stautue.

Stroll through Camden Market, and down the Kings road.

If you are fans of horror - Go see the London Dungeon wax museum. It's expensive but totally worth it - if you do one spendy thing on your trip - make it that!

Westiminster Abbey is also free, there's beautiful architecture inside and out to be seen.

Watch The Changing of the Guard at the palace?

Sit in Trafalgar Sqaure and check out the christmas tree from Norway

Oh I thought of more!

Highgate Cemetary
Strange Things to do in London | UK Student News and Events

Ride around and sightsee from a double decker bus (free if you you have a travelcard)

King's Cross station (if you're a Harry Potter fan) - this is where they shot the scene where the Hogwarts Express picks up Harry on platform 9 3/4 ^_^

Covent Garden has street performers and artists everywhere.

Albert Bridge - (by South Kensington underground station) - you'll recognize it from A Clockwork Orange

First time i went to London i literally just wandered around the center ^_~ Buy yourself a map and have a wander round. You can see Buckingham Palace, walk down the mall, see the changing o the guard and see the millenium eye. Even if you don't go on that it's worth seeing it lol. And if walkign doesn't appeal to you, the tube is dead cheap and there's a stop near most of the main attractions ^_^ Harrods is really cool as well ^_^
