Presenter: [American accent] Next, here on Globetrotter, we go to London, which is still one of the top tourist destinations in the world for young

people. Of course, we all know that London is a cool place for music, fashion and nightlife — but it can be an expensive city. Many visitors to London end up spending a small fortune, not just on accommodation, but also on food, museums and entertainment. So on today’s Globetrotter we’ve decided to give you all some useful advice for visiting London on a budget. And who better to talk to than the people who have to live in London all year — Londoners!

Speaker 1: [Cockney accent] I think that travel’s quite expensive in London. So I’ve never understood why tourists always travel by tube — that’s what we call the underground here. I mean, it’s so crowded and expensive — and you don’t see anything either!

I think buses are great for getting to know London, that is if you’re not in a hurry. You can buy a one-day bus-pass for about three pounds fifty, which is much cheaper than the travelcards you buy for the tube. And then you can travel on any bus you like all day, and use it on the Night Buses too. And there are some great bus routes that are probably much more interesting than those expensive bus-tours that tourists love. I think the number 11 bus is great — it goes through the City, past St Paul’s Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, 10 Downing Street (where the Prime Minister lives of course), Parliament and Westminster Abbey and then close to Buckingham Palace. But there are lots of routes to choose from — over 600, in fact!

Speaker 2: [RP accent] In a lot of cities around the world, you can look round the churches and cathedrals for free — but you have to pay to get into museums and art galleries. In London, it’s the opposite — the best museums and art galleries cost nothing, but anything else is quite expensive. So if I were you, I’d forget about paying to visit the Tower of London, for example — you can see it for free from the street! Instead you should visit one of the great London museums. You can spend a whole week just visiting the British Museum or the Science Museum. My favourite’s probably the Museum of London — not so many people seem to know about it, but it’s really interesting, in fact I’d say it’s probably the one that any visitor to London should go to first. You learn all about the earliest history — the Romans in London, the Viking town, the Great Fire of London in 1666 ... right up to the present day. The section on London during the war is really fascinating too. It always makes me laugh when I see the queue for Madame Tussaud’s — thousands of tourists queuing in the rain for their really expensive tickets. There are so many interesting places they could visit — for nothing.

Speaker 3: [Estuary English accent] London’s quite expensive for eating out. Even a coffee or a glass of coke can cost a fortune! There are lots of big restaurants in the centre which are always full of tourists — they’re usually called The ‘Something’ Steak House. But no Londoners I know ever go there. It’s much cheaper to buy fish’n’chips — for example, there are several places in Soho, not far from Leicester Square. Or if the weather’s good, you could do what office-workers in London do — buy some

sandwiches from a sandwich bar and go and sit in the park for an hour. There are some good ones near Charring Cross tube station — and then you can go and sit by the river. Or why not go to one of the markets for a cheap meal? My favorite’s probably Borough market, near London Bridge Station. You can buy delicious, cheap takeaway food from every corner of the globe.

Speaker 4: [West Indian accent] There’s a lot of music in London — and a lot of it you can listen to for free. The big public arts centers like The Barbican and the South Bank Centre often have free concerts, especially jazz music at the weekends. I always buy the local paper — The Evening Standard — on Thursdays and check if there’ll be any free concerts during the next week. If you like classical music, then there are also the famous free lunchtime concerts. The most famous ones are probably at St Martin-in- the-Fields, the church on Trafalgar Square. And if you prefer rock music, then there are dozens of pubs and clubs with free concerts or ‘gigs’ as we call them. Actually, one of the best places for cheap gigs is the University of London Student Union on Mallet Street, close to the British Museum. It’s a good idea to buy Time Out, a listings magazine, or the NME, a weekly music paper, to catch the best gigs.
