Are you a food lover? If so, then Borough Market is the place for you. But wait, there's more good news for all the budget-conscious folks out there. TfL (Transport for London) is planning to introduce new off-peak fares for tube and train travel on Fridays. This means that exploring London on a budget just got a whole lot easier. And it's not just for locals, visitors from other parts of the UK can also take advantage of this opportunity for a budget-friendly trip.
Not sure where to start? Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are five free places you can visit for a cheap day out in London. First up, Sky Garden - London's highest public garden located on the 43rd floor of the iconic Walkie Talkie building. With panoramic views of the city and beautiful foliage, it's the perfect dose of nature without having to brave the unpredictable London weather. And if you're feeling fancy, you can even enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset. Just make sure to book your spot in advance.
To get to Sky Garden, hop on the tube to Monument station. Next on the list is a treat for all the movie buffs out there. You can watch a variety of films and TV shows for free at the BFI Mediatheque, located at the BFI national archive. You can either watch alone or with a friend in one of their sharing booths. Make sure to check with the BFI Reuben Library beforehand to ensure the space is available on the day of your visit.
To get to the BFI, take the tube to Waterloo station. And last but not least, a must-visit for all the art enthusiasts - God's Own Junkyard. This neon wonderland is a feast for the eyes and a great spot for some unique Instagram shots. Admission is free, so you can spend as much time as you want admiring the vibrant neon signs.
So there you have it, three exciting and budget-friendly places to visit in London. With these new off-peak fares, Fridays just got a whole lot more fun. Don't forget to take advantage of this trial period and explore all that London has to offer. Happy travels!
