Manu’s tips for a budget trip to London

“Travelling on a budget anywhere nowadays isn’t that easy but in the UK, it’s possible. They have a great tourist trade so have readily available affordable accommodation. It’s not easy but can be more comfortable if you’re prepared to work on the way too.

“The UK, London in particular, is a tourist haven and there is endless things to do, to see and of course to eat!

“I hope to return soon and would plan to stay a little longer, in the summer time with a bigger budget!”

My advice to anyone travelling there would be:

● Bring an umbrella ● Bring lots of layers of clothes ● In London use the Tube to travel around — it’s a bigger city than you think. Sometimes you may spend 45 minutes on the Tube but I guarantee you it would be longer by car. ● Get an Oyster Card (a local travel card) and travel after 9.30am as it’s a lot cheaper.
