Reality check: The days of the robust, indestructible American dollar are gone, possibly for good. Aside from the consequences that this has on the global and domestic economies, there’s also the little fact that traveling abroad in countries whose currencies are stronger tends to take a painful toll on our hemorrhaging American wallets. The U.K. provides particular trouble given that the pound has been one of the strongest global currencies for the last few years, and London, as always, is one of the most expensive cities in the world, right up there with Tokyo and New York. However, since London, regardless of price, is one of my favorite tourist destinations, I’ve put together these suggestions for visiting London on the cheap.

b>Central, but modest, accommodations: If you can find a cheap place to stay in a central location, you’ll save money on getting around. Granted, London is more spread out and less walkable than more compact European cities like Paris, but if you stay in a central location, you’ll cut down on the number of destinations that are only reachable by taxi or tube. For example, if you stay in the West End, you’ll be within walking distance from central museums, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, the theatre district, Trafalgar Square, Oxford Circus, Westminster, Hyde Park, Regent Street, and Soho. That’s enough to keep you busy for a long time without ever having to pay those $5 tube rides or $20 taxi fares. 

The Tate Modern: The Tate Modern keeps donation boxes at all the entrances, but trust me, no one’s going to chase you down if you have nothing to spare. This isn’t one of those museums were the so-called “suggested donation” is effectively the same as a required entrance fee. Londoners are lucky to have a modern art museum that they can visit any time they want without having to pay, and tourists can take advantage of this. And there’s no reason to feel guilty: The museum is funded by the government, which earns much of its revenue from tourism. 

The Great (Urban) Outdoors: London can feel like a huge, noisy, traffic-choked city, but if you know the right places to visit, it is as good a place as any to enjoy the simple pleasures of urban design. Hyde Park, for example, is glorious during all seasons-a wide-open expanse whose well-cultivated gardens are a testament to the tremendous to the aesthetic capabilities of large cities. Meanwhile, the countless squares throughout the city can be perfect locations to sit down and people-watch. And that’s not even mentioning locales like Westminster, where the medieval architecture is stunning enough to provide a day’s worth of entertainment; and the river bridges, where visitors can escape the sometimes tightly-packed streets and enjoy breathtaking views of the city. 

Local festivals: It’s impossible to give specific recommendations in this category, as London offers exciting festivals practically every weekend of the year, and their themes and occasions are so varied that there’s one for practically every aspect of English culture and history. Check one of the local papers or the internet for tips on free festivals that will be occurring during your visit-but don’t be surprised if you stumble upon a festival or two that you didn’t see advertised anywhere. However you find them, these festivals will give you a window into London’s many neighborhoods, with all of their unique histories and peoples.
