Make the most of free activities
There are lots of great places that you can visit in London without spending any money. London is known for being very expensive, and so it can certainly help you to lower the overall cost of your holiday if you look at free activities. From museums to art galleries in London, do a little bit of digging online to find out more about the cost-free activities that you can make the most of.
Download a travel app
One thing you should definitely do before you take a trip to London is to download a travel app. In the past, you would have needed to head to the map of the London Underground and try to work out how you are going to get from A to B. With all of the different coloured lines, this could be a bit of a headache, especially if you have never used the underground before. However, these days you do not need to worry, as there are apps that do all of the hard work for you. All you need to do is enter where you want to go to and your current destination and it will tell you the quickest way to get there using public transport. You may even be surprised that it is quicker to walk. A lot of the underground stops are a lot closer together than people realise.
Plan in advance
One thing you definitely need to do is make sure you plan in advance. There are a number of reasons why this is the case. Firstly, it is because there is so much to see and do in London. This means that you can find yourself at a bit of a loss if you arrive with no plans. Where to first? Narrow down your attractions and to-do list before you make the trip. Furthermore, London is a very busy and very popular place. Because of this, there are a lot of attractions and restaurants that are going to be sold out if you do not book in advance. In order to make sure you do not end up being disappointed with your trip, doing your research months in advance and booking any popular spots is very much recommended.
All in all, there is no denying that planning a trip to London can be very daunting. However, there is no need to worry. Embrace the experience and get planning as soon as possible to ensure your trip the country’s capital goes as smoothly as possible. We hope that the tree tips provided in this post will help you.

Some great tips. I am planning on visiting with my teen at some point this year and it has been a long time since we last visited (about 10 years) but that was all very last minute x
