One of the best things about sightseeing in a city like London is that many of the major landmarks and attractions are free. Marvelling at the majesty of Buckingham Palace and witnessing the famous Changing of the Guard won’t cost you a penny, nor will visiting some of the capital’s most renowned museums and art galleries such as the National Gallery, the British Museum, and the Tate Modern.

Meanwhile, guests at our Earls Court Hotel can take a leisurely stroll to the likes of Kensington Palace Gardens, one of the most serene and beautiful spots anywhere in London.

Invest in the London Pass

That said, there are some attractions that do come with an entry fee. One way to avoid this -and to beat the sometimes lengthy queues- is to pick up a London pass, which grants you free, fast-track admission to Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, a Thames River Boat Cruise, Kensington Palace itself, and over 55 more top tourist attractions.

Don’t forget your Oyster Card

One other pass you might want to look at picking up is the Oyster Card, which can be useed throughout London’s Underground and Overground public transport system. Not only does this reduce the cost of travelling around the city by half, but also comes with specially selected discounts at restaurants, bars, and stores.

Book in advance on the web

If you’re looking to visit the theatre whilst you’re in town, or perhaps to book at an attraction not included in the London Pass, the best advice we can give is to get online early and book in advance.

Many places, such as the London Eye, are as much as 25% cheaper online than they are by simply rolling up to the box office, so it’s well worth exploring the web before you visit.

Save on hotel costs by staying outside of the city centre

It’s a well known fact that the closer to the City Centre you stay during your sightseeing tour of London, the more expensive your accommodation will be. Given the huge number of tourists flocking to the capital each year, city centre hotels are always in demand, meaning they can afford to charge more.

That said, there is a better way to still enjoy high quality accommodation without paying over the odds. By staying outside of the main city, you enjoy significant savings whilst still having easy access to the major attractions. Staying at our hotel next to Earls Court Station for example means you can be on the tube and at the heart of the action in no time, whilst still paying less for a top hotel than your fellow tourists who opt to stay in the city.
