London is a vibrant city, brimming with events, activities and sites to see. The capital offers something to all; art lovers, music enthusiasts, kids, adults and everyone in between. Exploring the city without being out of pocket at the end is not difficult when the possibilities are researched properly.
London offers a range of transportation to help you get around the city and it doesn’t necessarily have to cost a fortune. Buses offer a great alternative to the Tube; they cost less and allow you to appreciate the sights and sounds around you.
The capital is also now running the Barclays Cycle Hire scheme which is a green solution to discovering London. The bikes are available 24 hours a day and are located all over the city. They can be picked up and dropped off at any docking station and the first 30 minutes of your journey are free! Endorsed by the mayor Boris Johnson as the only way to travel in London, what better way to see the city!
Visiting London doesn’t have to mean a trip of excess. With Boris’s bikes available and so many free activities on offer, it’s a great place to go when you’re counting the pennies. Many of London’s art galleries and museums won’t cost you anything and there are lots of landmarks such as Trafalgar Square and the Portobello Market that you can visit without dipping in to your pocket.
As of the end of August, Tune Hotels is opening up its first UK hotel and will be the perfect place for anyone using the London cycle scheme to stay; there’s a docking station at Lambeth North tube station which is literally ten metres from the hotel. The hotel is also just five minutes from Waterloo station so is perfectly located for guests who wish to use public transport. En-suite double rooms typically start from £35 per night but for those prepared to book well in advance, promotional deals start from as little as £9 a night. Both Tune Hotels and Boris’s Bikes are helping to make London a cheaper place to enjoy so don’t miss out!
