How to Travel to London for Cheap
As a student, I travelled to London twice and was able to
explore different parts of the city each time. I loved visiting the museums and
historical monuments and learning about the city's culture and history. London
is a truly amazing place, and I'm so grateful that I was able to experience it.
However, the only thing is that London is very expensive, so
it is important to budget your money carefully. Here are some tips on how to
travel to London for cheap:
Take Advantage of Student Discounts
If you are a student coming to study in uk, there are many discounts
that you can take advantage of in London. For example, many museums offer free
or discounted admission for students. You can also find deals on transportation
and accommodation. Be sure to do your research and take advantage of all the
discounts that are available to you.
Some shops that offer student discounts in the UK are Apple,
The Body Shop, Burger King, Superdrug and Nandoes. You can save money on
transportation, accommodation, and entertainment by using student discount
cards in London. The best cards to have are: NUS Discount Card, University
Student ID Card, International Student Identity Card (ISIC) and UniDays
Discount App.
Use a Railcard
If you are planning on using public transportation while in
London, then you should get a railcard. A railcard allows you to save up to 1/3
off the price of your train fares. You can purchase a railcard online or at any
train station.
There are several different types of railcards, so be sure
to choose the one that is right for you. The most popular railcards are the
16-25 Railcard, the Senior Railcard (travelling with grandparents), the Two
Together Railcard and the Family & Friends Railcard.
If you are planning on travelling outside of London, then
you can also purchase a Network Railcard. This railcard gives you discounts on
train travel in the following areas: Southeast England, the East of England,
London and the surrounding areas.
Purchase an Oyster Card
An Oyster card is a smartcard that you can use to pay for
your public transportation fares in London. It is much cheaper to use an Oyster
card than it is to purchase individual tickets. You can purchase an Oyster card
online or at any train station.
If you are planning on using public transportation
frequently, then you should consider getting a 7-day or monthly travelcard. A
7-day travelcard allows you to unlimited travel on all public transportation
for 7 days. A monthly travelcard allows you to unlimited travel on all public
transportation for a month.
Check Out Cheap Hotels
There are many cheap hotels in London that you can choose

Eat Like Locals
If you travel to central London, then there are a lot of
fancy restaurants which can get expensive. However, if you ask locals where
they go for lunch or dinner, they will likely direct you to more reasonably
priced places where the food is still great!
Some examples of these places are: Wetherspoons, Greggs,
Itsu and Pret a Manger. All of these places have multiple locations throughout
London so you’re never too far from one. They also have a wide variety of food
so you can find something to your liking.
Wetherspoons is a pub chain that serves British food such as
fish and chips, burgers and shepherd’s pie. They also have a large selection of
beers and ciders. Greggs is a bakery chain that sells pasties, sandwiches,
salads, sweet treats and hot drinks.

money on their groceries. You can earn points every time you shop at Tesco and
these points can be redeemed for money off your groceries. You can also get
exclusive discounts and deals when you use your Tesco Loyalty Card.
