We tell you the best tricks that most tourists do not know to save on your
If you are planning a trip to London and you are looking for tips to save during your stay, in this article we tell you the best tricks that most tourists do not know and that aim to lower costs on their London holidays.
According to statistics, London is one of the most expensive destinations in Europe. The most expensive thing about London is transport, food and shopping.
1. SAVE MONEY ON TRANSPORTATION
To save on transportation for the transfer from the airport to the city you have to buy the ticket well in advance. A normal train ticket from Stansed to London that is purchased in advance saves more than 65% and the same happens from other airports.
The subway is another transport in which you can save money, instead of buying a single ticket, it is best to get the Oyster Card, with which the trips will cost you less.
Unless you have to move from one end of the city to another we recommend that instead of the metro you use the bus, if you have to do little travel it will be cheaper and it will take less time to reach your destination.
2. EATING CHEAP IN LONDON
In London there are many supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco or Sansbury that are extremely cheap and where you can find a wide variety of products at low prices. In these supermarkets you will find the "Meal Deal", they consist of a sadwich, a drink and a snack or dessert to choose from and all this at a price of between 3 and 4 pounds. These "Meal Deal" are ideal for food.
If, on the other hand, you prefer to go out to lunch or dinner at restaurants and you are going to drink water, we recommend you to order the "Tap water", basically it consists of tap water and they will serve it with lemon slices and of course it is free.
One way to eat rich and cheap is to eat at the flea markets. Among the most recommended markets for cheap dining are Brixton, Brick Lane and Broadway Market.
3. SAVE WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING
If you travel to London you will surely be wanting to go shopping, here you can also save money and we tell you how to do it. First of all you must be attentive to the sales and discounts. Unlike here, which we have twice a year, in London there are also mid-season sales and sometimes you can find real bargains. We recommend you not to use the main shopping streets such as Oxford Street or Canarby Street to do your shopping as they are the most expensive areas. We recommend that you visit East End, in this shopping area you will find the same products but at half price. There are also stores called "Charity Shops" that are charity shops where you will find all kinds of clothes and second-hand objects, there are garments for 1, 2 or 3 pounds.
Finally, as always, we recommend that before traveling you take the currency from here, that is, that you change your euros to pounds in EUROCHANGE enter our website and make the reservation for the collection in store or come to any store with currency sales service of our network and take your pounds at the best price and without surprises. And for changes over 750 euros we offer you the repurchase service. Call us at the Customer Service Center 615403877 and our operators will be happy to answer any questions.
