London has a reputation for being expensive, and it is. But its best museums are free, and so are its parks and many of its views.

## Getting there

Trains connect all the airports to the centre; the cheapest are often the slowest.

## Where to stay

A small hotel in zone two, close to a tube line.

## What I would do differently

I would use a contactless card for every ride. Daily caps keep costs down.

🧭

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
