Five Things To Do In London — That You Didn’t Know Were Free!

On a budget for the summer or just want to explore the capital without spending a fortune? Most of us know that London can be pretty expensive: in some parts, even a sandwich can set you back a few bob, but there’s also a lot of fun to be had for absolutely nothing! Check out our pick of the best free things to do in London.

The British Museum

London has a plethora of unique museums, and most of them don’t have an entrance fee that’s going to break the bank! The British Museum is the country’s largest museum, and also one of the oldest in the world. The museum holds some of the World’s most treasured pieces, including the Rosetta Stone — which was the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics. As well as Egyptian mummies, the museum also has Roman and Greek galleries and even an Easter Island head! It is open from 10:00 am – 5: 30 pm daily.

Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground

Do you have Children to entertain? Are you on a budget? Why not take them to this adventure playground to let off some steam, at no cost. Located at Kensington Gardens, this popular playground is perfect for children up to the age of 12. It consists of a sea monster sculpture, a giant swing, teepees and a tree house. The main attraction here is the wooden sailing ship, surrounded by a mass of sand. The children can have great fun using their imaginations pretending they are on board a ship to somewhere exciting.
