I don’t know how much you were thinking but to do London properly you are going to need £1000+ in easy money to see you through a week.

Typical museums that you will be going to such as The Tower of London/London Dungeons cost around £20 each. A West End show will cost around £40-£80. If you are thinking budget there is of course lots of cheaper options – free museums include the Imperial War Museum, Victoria and Albert, National Gallery, Science Museum – all of which are great museums.

Travel isn’t bad – for just £9/10 a day you can get an all day travelcard which gives you unlimited access to tube and buses – this will get you anywhere you need to go in London.

And if you even start going shopping you are going to be spending £100-£300 in a couple of hours. Go to Harrods for the experience anyway – even if you do not buy anything.

Food will cost you at least £10 a meal – if you are into big restuarants then budget £50/60. Obviously your accomodation/hotel budget is a separate thing but it will be around £800/1000 for a week. Clubbing depends on how much you want to drink – but budget around £40/50 a night.

Don’t be put off – London is a great city and I love being there – you will not regret your visit.

Good luck!
