What are some cheap, fun things to do in London?

Question

Preferably in the City of London, for two U.S. college students on a budget.

Also, we already have the basics covered (tourist sights like Big Ben, etc).

Thanks!

Answer 1

clubs at night- depends what ones you go to but generally if you go before 10pm its free.

Southbank is always fun- its on the same side as the London Eye, its always full of tourists, street performers, skaters, and really good coconut ice cream.

Camden is great- full of little weird shops, weed lollipops everywhere! great little pubs

when all else fails just go to the pub..

this could come in handy..

Answer 2

Camden Town is  a great place to hang out or shop the flea markets.  The canal walk is fun to do also.  It goes on for miles and makes for a great hike.

Answer 3

All museums and art galleries are free in London, so take advantage of that. My friends and I have just been to Tate modern. At the moment they are showing a graffiti exhibition along with their normal stuff. It was great.

Answer 4

Definitely take advantage of the free museums - the Natural History Museum and Science Museum are my two particular favourites.  Regent's Park is beautiful and well worth spending some time wandering around, and I also love Covent Garden - there's always something to see there.  Greenwich is a nice place to visit (cheapest way to get there is the DLR) - climb the hill up to the observatory and you get good views of London.  Go to Speaker's Corner (Hyde Park) on a Sunday and listen to those telling the world what they think (with varying degrees of craziness!), go and watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.  I love just wandering around central London - there is always so much happening that you never run out of things to look at.

Answer 5

Drink in a Pub and play darts
