Rating (7/10)

star star star star star star star star star star
From January to December

A backpacking holiday in London can be a great adventure and can be quite affordable, even in this, one of the world's most expensive cities. London is also the starting point for the exploration of the rest of Britain, as all of the country's road, rail and air routes centre on London. Other regions, such as the West Country, Wales, Northern England, and even Scotland can be easily reached from London, so when the excitement of London's city lights gets too much, you can enjoy some of Britain's superb countryside.

A backpacking holiday in London need not be all that expensive if you are prepared to shop around and to buy wisely. You can cut the cost of travel in London dramatically by buying an Oyster Card, or Travel Card. Youth hostel accommodation can be found for around £10 per night and there are plenty of inexpensive restaurants and cafés in London. What is more, London has so much to offer fro the visitor that you can easily find things to do for very little, or even for free.
