Cheap and free London

Some visitors say that London is an expensive city, but there are some things to do which do not cost a lot of money. Most museums are free and give free guided tours as well as lectures.

The Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank of the River Thames has free music in the foyer every lunchtime. The National Theatre, next to the Royal Festival Hall, also has free concerts in the foyer in the evenings. Some cinemas are cheaper on Mondays; others sell half-price tickets before 6 pm.
