    A free day out at the British Museum

    Around Town

    Art
    Apart from so-called 'blockbuster' exhibitions, you can see almost all the art in London for nowt, and there's a ridiculous amount of it to enjoy, from ancient scribblings at the British Museum to abstract oddities at the White Cube. We dare you to fit in as many in one day as possible.

    Gay & Lesbian
    Skip the crass-looking LGBT meet-ups and get stuck into Soho! From bars to drag queen cabaret to meet-ups and talks, gay London is very often cheap London, so dive in and see what bargain activities are on offer in your area.

    Music
    The music merry-go-round revolves so fast these days you've only known about a band for two minutes and already they’re charging £20 on the door at Brixton Academy. We say, free gigs are where it’s at, where you can sniff out breaking bands and enjoy a few pints with your spare change. See free Music

    Sport
    Sport should be free, right? But in London the only matches you can afford to see are on the box at a pub. Click here and you might even find that you can go to the Brit Oval for free; yes, really!

    Theatre
    Don’t go and get mugged by the theatre touts that hang about outside the Dominion. Instead head for fringe shows and off-West End theatres for plays where it’s value for money all the way.
