London is one of the most beautiful places to visit in the world. It has a colourful history,  its attractions are famous all over the world, the architecture is both a mix of the beautifully traditional and the extremely innovative but still deeply attached to the City. However, London is also one of the most expensive cities in the world. As a traveler you should be careful how to spend your money in London. Below are some tips that will help you spend more wisely while touring the City.

• In Great Britain, most museums that receive public funding offer admission either for free or at a greatly reduced price. So, why spend money paying for the entrance fees in private museums or art galleries when you can visit a lot of museums for free? And before you think that there are only a few museums in London,  the city actually has one of the highest concentrations of museums in the world. In fact, if you plan on visiting all of the London museums with free entrance fees you’ll probably spend all of the days in your holiday just doing so.

•  Eating in restaurants is a great way to experience the culinary culture of London but it can be quite expensive! Also, if you keep eating your meals outside you’ll most likely spend a lot of money. To save on money, why not enjoy a great meal in our apartments instead? All of them have a fully equipped kitchens with modern facilities including an oven, a dishwasher, a refrigerator and all necessary kitchen utensils. If you do not like cooking, you can opt to just order take-away food and have it delivered in your serviced apartment. It’s still a lot cheaper than eating at a restaurant.

• Found a bargain airfare or hotel? Look closely at the fine print. The offer may say that you are going to be billeted in a London hotel or is the airfare actually cheap. The London travel card can be quite expensive especially for fare zones over the second one. All of Boutique London Lets’ apartments are located within central London (Zone 1 and 2) and are priced to offer exceptional value. Staying in our apartments eliminates a lot of time and cost traveling to and from the many tourist destinations within the city. You can browse the list of our modern serviced apartments here; you will certainly find the right one for you.
