National History Museum, Science Museum and Tate Modern are all free.
If you can afford a bit I would say deffo go to the Aquarium (its right next to the London Eye- Westminster tube station) its not too expensive at all!

Walk along the Thames from Tower Bridge to the House of Parliament. You can visit loads of free things on the way such as St Paul's, Tate Modern, Trafalgar Square, the national gallery and national portrait gallery and the outer section of Westminster Abbey.

It is also free to visit the houses of parliament which is beautiful inside and worth seeing outside.

If you want to go for a drink try the Nell Gwynn pub which is one of London's best kept secret and a hidden gem -as well as one of the cheapest pubs in central London. It's down an alley called Bull Inn Court betweent the Adelphi (Chicago) Theatre and the Vaudville Theatre off the Strand near Charing Cross Station.

If she's into clothes I would recommend the V&A in Kensington, it's free and has a great costume and textiles section - you could also take her down Ken High St afterwards which has a great mix of designer shops and funky boutiques. Kensington Palace Gardens are nearby and are beautiful to walk in too.

Hope you have a lovely day.

Follow the Silver Jubilee walkway. It's free, a good walk, and show's you many of the sights. Plus, many pubs etc. along the route.

Loads of museums and galleries are free now (my favourite's the National Gallery). Also Camden Market is great, if a little weird. You can see the Changing of the Guard at Horseguards or Buckingham palace for free too. Try to get cheap tickets for a show (available on the day for theatres or TKT in Leicester Square). The parks are good for picnics and you can go boating in one of them (can't remember which). Also iceskating outside the Natural History Museum, or Kew Gardens or Somerset House (more expensive).

Make your way to Greenwich on a Sunday and have a walk around the market. Then go to the Queens house and just look at the beautiful ceiling (it is free). Take a walk around Greenwich Park quite the most beautiful place. Loads to see and do in Greenwich. Then take the boat (about Â£3) and go up the Thames to Waterloo and you can walk the Thames Path (totally free). You can see all the sites along by the river. Big Ben, London Eye. The walk is beautiful whatever the weather. The Thames Path has to be the most wonderful water walkway in the world. Too late unfortunately for the Thames Festival held in September. But don't miss it next year. Street Theatre. Fireworks, everything you could wish for and totally, completely and utterly free!!! London you just can't beat it.

Go on an open top bus or get a day ticket for the normal bus services and see the sights around London Town.

On a budget this Sunday, I would recommend:

1. Watch a bridge lift of Tower Bridge from London Bridge (free)
2. Visit the South Bank frost fair (free)
3. Go on a river boat ride (1/3 discount if you show your one day travelcard or Oyster card)
4. Climb the monument to the Great Fire of London (Â£2)
5. Have lunch at LMNT, Queensbridge Road, E8 (3 courses Â£11.85)
6. Go to any of the main museums or galleries such as British Museum, National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and Tate Gallery (all free)
7. Visit Spitalfields, Columbia Road, Petticoat Lane and Brick Lane markets (free)

Busk or beg, both cost nothing. Though there will be plenty of competition.

ED SNOW

Visit the Natural History Museum, cheap, and they have incredible exhibits. Touch a Dinosaur!

Lilu

take one day pass, you can choose all the things that you can go there, look at the web site.

Why don't you play hide & seek in Harrods?

Start at Waterloo Station and walk.....Head for the London Eye, over Westminster Bridge towards the houses of Parliament, turn right once over bridge, opposite the eye turn up horseguards, then at the end turn right and keep walking....and walking and walking...once in the heart of the city have a drink and think of somewhere you want to see...Walk it....I went to Stamford Bridge, then Earls Court, then onto the wrong tube heading North, got off at bayswater and walked back across London back to Waterloo....I saw so much it was a great day and cost me just the train fare up there and back..

leonard c

I took my daughter to H.M.S. Belfast ,and then to look at various street acts on the south bank......It was great!!!!!!!!!!!

buttercup

Well you can go to Bayswater rd. Cross to hyde Park near the Lancaster hotel and see all the art lined up along the road, have a picnic in the park, there is also a cafe there . Also there is Portabello Rd a market miles long n very cheap thats in Nottinghill gate. Hyde Parks great though cos if you keep walking you can come out in a different place! Hope it helps n have a nice day.

Go to Camden Town Market. Lots of fun and very lively

Chemical Jelly

Wow!

Well, first, get a travelcard on the underground (also covers national rail within the 6 zones) - or in fact, you're better off walking!! - visit the following:

Camden
Oxford Street & Regent Street
Trafalgar Square
Buckingham Palace
South Bank
London Dungeons (near London Bridge)

woo-hoo! that's a day in London!

And to help, here is a map of the places in the order I gave above:

No such thing as a low budget in london! total tourist rip off

caseymitchum2000

You can walk from Westminster Abbey all the way to Hyde Park and it will not cost you a thing. There is so much culture along that route, i am so surprised people would pay so much money to go inside buildings.

brommas

Stand on a street corner and scrounge..... works for lots of people, they must enjoy it because they always come back for more!

lol

Lastminute.com have great days out stuff, theatre tickets under 10quid each are great as they include some of the biggest west-end shows, I went to see blood brothers with my girlfriend for 7.50 a ticket...awesome show...

You could also check out 'dinner and a show', normally around 17.50 per person...it's a whole day stuff to do, and you could check out the sights around the theatres since they're in such great places...

foxy lady

why noy take her on one of those big red london bus tours there really cheap and there pretty good... lets you see all the sites and you learn a bit aswell!!!

shiro

There is a website www.Londonfreelist.com gives you a list of all the venues and activities that you can enjoy for free. It is really good you should try it out.
Also when you are buying your travelcard find out if there are any deals going where you go in for half the price on showing a valid day travelcard.

If you want to go to all the "tourist-y" places like Madame Tussuad's and the London Dungeons etc. it is good to get a London pass. Granted it may seem a bit on the expensive side but it really is a saver plus you won't have to wait in the queues that can go on for miles. In terms of spending as little as possible i would suggest the Science museum and for the little treasure the Temple church just off the Strand (its the one featured in Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code) They are free to enter and only ask for a small donation if you can spare - no pressure. As for just walking around in utter amazement try Harrods and Selfridges - definitely not affordable but an easy way to spend 2 - 3 hours. A walk along the river is also good. You see most of the sights and can easily cover most of London. If you don't wanna walk, hope the weather is nice and have a picnic in Kensington Gardens or Hyde Park - High Street Kensington and Portobello Market aren't that far away.

Hope this helps.

MK <><

just have a walk at the great sites like trafalgar square or anything like that

Mark J
