Free London

If you like taking photos and need inspiration, you have until 3rd September to see the amazing Travel Photographer of The Year exhibition at University of Greenwich which is free. It is not far from the great Cutty Sark and Greenwich makes a great day out as well!

bore a snores

Thank you for such type of a thorough list! I’m preparing to London for the first period next end of the week. With one totally free day I now have various choices to find for my day getaway from London. http://www.tripindicator.com/view/attractions/london.html

Free things to do in London! For all who need to learn a language but not  willing to pay the usual big amount for it, I propose the following http://en.openlanguageexchange.com/language-exchange-in_London.html where is possible to find a language exchange partner to learn a language through conversation with native speakers.

I went all the way over to Greenwich yesterday because of the article Free London on p.22 of your printed edition dated 13 - 19 September. 

There were 2 events I went for, firstly the Tall Ships Festival stated as Wed 14-Sun18, which it transpires doesn't begin until today. When it didn't happen I put a brave face on it and made the daunting journey up to the Royal Observatory; I have mobility problems, for the Astronomy Photographer of the Year exhibition. When I got there I was informed it was closed for 2 weeks.

Whether misprint or lack of research on your part it was a tiring and time consuming wasted afternoon and most importantly a real disappointment. 

It is worth £299 and includes afternoon tea as well! Select the venue though as there are 3 or 4 of them. :)

Wallace House, in Manchester Square. Free.. you can spend hours there, fascinating history, Love it!

Just 2 blocks behind Selfridges, well worth a visit & I take all my o/s visitors there, its amazing.

Also the Isabella Plantation In Richmond Park in a stunner in spring.

Ever had one of those Sundays when you are bored with your local area. And you’ve done Lloyd Park and ‘Shoreditch Yah’ to death well consider heading for Chelsea (the earlier the better).

Get the Gospel Oak line to Imperial Wharf, exit, walk down the funky winding staircase and have a cappuccino at Harris & Hoole ‘(I know it’s owned by Tesco’s but they do it so well and their boutique loo is worth a visit!)

Be dazzled by the massive redevelopment that has transformed a former coal depot and gas works into cutting edge luxury flats with a vibe and presence that would even affect a socialist.  Walking along the tranquil riverside it’s possible to doubt you’re in London. Helicopters hover overhead, and watching them land and take off stirred the train spotter in me, the only distraction was a cormorant diving and re-diving to secure a large fish.

Continued walking for approx. 2 miles and caught bus 22 to Putney Common and had a well-earned lunch at ‘The Spencer’ the seasonal menu ranged from vegan to carnivore and hurrah; they serve sweet potato chips!

Finally we headed home by Bus 22 to Green Park station and Victoria line to the Stow. Check it out…..

Project with lots of free nature / photography / drama activities for both adults & children at Brayards Estate Peckham in 2015 http://betra.btck.co.uk/CommunityProjects/NaturePhotographyDramaJSIProject201415

Please, come to UCL 25-28th March - great astronomy and physics festival, talks, interactive exibitions. The festival is called Your Universe.

Great list. Thanks for sharing this free things to do in London. Its really helpful for those who want to Plan a London trip in budget or want to save the money while traveling .

I appreciate the organization simple to utilize! This certainly helps me arrange my next outing to London. I go once consistently, and my spouse and I continually searching for new and shoddy things to do. This article truly helps us arrange our future memories! I can visit places without paying a solitary penny!! Despite the fact that it would be better if there were free kids places. Check this out http://goo.gl/4QQckJ

Free London/London on the cheap. Is it possible? Why yes, yes it is! I have always had to be thrifty, being a single mother of two, and a mum who wanted to give her children memories and new experiences. You can find cheap tickets for all the shows in Theatreland without breaking the bank (choose restricted view seats, use sites like this, that offer discounts on tickets or sign up directly to Theatre sites that offer discounts on multiple purchases. Throughout the year there are free events at The Scoop, Tate Modern, Southbank, Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square. The museums are free (my favourites are the Natural History, National Gallery and the Museum of London at the Barbican). There are plenty of places to eat; not forgetting the wonderful cafes in Marks and Spencer, Food Halls in Debenhams and Boots and you cannot beat just walking the streets of London and finding all it's hidden history. London has many, many secrets, so always remember to stop and look up, or look down; and don't be afraid to walk down a hidden alley or parade, you never know what you might find.

Very informative, useful to know the best places in our city.

doesn't help at all

@emma  Why?

I enjoy the format very easy to use! This definitely helps me plan my next trip to London. I go once every year, and my boyfriend and I always are looking for new, fun, and cheap things to do. This site really helps us plan our future memories! :)

Hi there, thanks for the informative article. I just wanted to add that there are also many online communities where you can find free things to do in London. Meetup.com or www.uolala.com/uk just to name a couple...

This is not clearly laid out for viewers and tourists. Have some common sense.

Excellent! I can visit places with out paying a single penny!! Although it would be better if there was free children places!

not finding the website easy to navigate at the moment-actually its quite frustrating- liked the old layout ooh

Yeah, i like very much, yay!

It is possible to do London for free!! #FreeLDN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PObaSYK8p_w&list=UU6bJZwghx8LPIILjCMJv4ww&index=3
