Now that we’ve got you searching for flights, let’s tackle the next thing. Staying connected.

While London has plently of free WiFi spots, grabbing a local SIM card can make life that bit easier. Think of it: using maps, booking restaurants and posting all those insta and TikTok worthy pictures and videos without a hitch. Major providers like EE, Vodafone and Three have good deals for short-term travellers. SIM-ply the best way to stay connected! Also a small tip: o2 users can use their SIM to roam around EU for 64 days, without any additional charge! Brilliant example to say: ‘don’t let Brexit hurt your bank the way it hurt our hearts.

Let’s explore the local spots of London, now that you have a way to use google maps during your travel:

The British Museum: Wander through thousands of years of history without spending a penny (yeah, it’s literally for free!) just remember to book your ticket in advance, it gets booked quicker than I finish my teacake! Marvel at the Rosetta Stone and mummies, it’s all here, something you can’t miss with no price to pay!

Buckingham Palace: of course, the Royal Palace! Swing by to see where the King hangs out. Don’t miss the changing of the Guard, it’s a proper British spectacle. Just don’t get too close to the guard and horses (yes, the TikTok videos are totally not fake!)

Tower of London: now, it’s time to reach your wallet. Step back in time and check out the Crown Jewels. Imagine the stories those old walls could tell. Tickets are about £25 for adults and £12.50 for kids.

Camden Market: a place with even the locals travel to see and explore. From vintage clothes to street food (you’ll find amazing food that covers all dietary requirements here!) this market’s got it all.

Hyde Park: Take a breather in this massive green space. Get your steps in whilst you enjoy the scenery and have a chat with some local brits, or rent a paddleboat on the Serpentine or just chill on the grass with an ice cream (we have those ice cream vans that ring a tune, the ones you must’ve seen n Mr.Bean?)

After all that exploring, you’ll need a crib to chill at, if you have the time to relax of course. Finding a place to crach in London doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Here are some wallet-friendly options for you:

Hostels:

Check out YHA London Central or Generator Hostel. Both are clean, comfy and great for meeting fellow travellers.

Budget Hotels:

Premier Inn and Travelodge are solid choices. They’re all over London and offer decent rooms at reasonable prices.

Airbnb:

Renting a room or flat can be a cost and affordable option. Plus, you’ll get a taste of local living, if you ever plan on relocating to London. You can find Luxurious and Budget Friendly options, whatever suits your fancy.

Some tips for booking:

Remember to use comparison websites like Booking.com, Hostelworld or Airbnb to find the best deals (make sure you check out the reviews!)

Book in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, which is a lot through the year in England!
