As the capital of the United Kingdom, London has a huge range of attractions on offer that never fail to entertain and amaze. Whether you are interested in Art, History or something a bit more quirky, you are guaranteed to find somewhere that caters for your needs. With everything from parks to theatres, there is no questioning London’s position as one of the UK’s most interesting places to visit.
However, while undeniably, the city has lots on offer, many of these attractions can be extremely expensive to visit. Although some attractions may be out of your price range, to help you explore London as cheaply as possible, we have put this list together highlighting some of the city’s best free attractions.
The Royal Academy of Music Museum
For Music lovers, this attraction offers visitors an unmissable opportunity to explore how music has evolved over the last few centuries. Given that the Museum is one of the oldest of its kind, this attraction contains a number of exclusive exhibitions which date back as late as the 16th Century.
Winchester Palace
For those looking to discover more about England’s colourful history, Winchester Palace will not disappoint. Located near London Bridge, this historic monument dates back to the 13th Century and past residents have included some of Britain’s most prominent Bishops. Although much of the palace was destroyed by fire in 1814, visitors can still enjoy the remaining architecture.
Vauxhall City Farm
While the hustle and bustle of London’s busy streets is what draws most tourists to the city, why not take some time out and enjoy the quieter side of the city at one of London’s top inner city farms? With a collection of animals including ducks, rabbits and pigs, this great attraction is a great way to escape the daily grind.
Greenwich Park
With summer nearly upon us, it would almost be rude not to take advantage of London’s many green spaces. As the city’s largest royal park, Greenwich boasts 74 acres of park land and even has its very own herd of dear! During the warmer weather, the park plays host to a number of live concerts as well as several quaint café’s.
Museum of London
A trip to the capital city is just not complete without a visit to the Museum of London. With a vast number of exhibitions, this attraction allows you to take a journey through London’s surprising past to discover how civil war, Plague and the great fire have shaped today’s modern city.
