London for Free or nearly free!

Any one that knows me well, knows that I love everything English! Well maybe not the blood sausage. I digress.. anyway... people that know me know I love the accent, the history, the architecture - all of it.

So as I am perusing the internet for all things London - trying to map out the steps of my last trip to make sure I don't make the same mistakes. More importantly so I may see all the things tourist and local alike that I can!

During my search I found a couple of interesting tid bits-

1) http://www.southbanklondon.com/walkthisway/TheGuides.html
2) http://www.walklondon.org.uk/
3) http://www.londonforfree.net/walks/index.shtml

By now there is a theme - walking!  Which is great considering the copius amounts of English beer I will be drinking.  Here is a very cool link with free ipod downloads to accompany your walk.

6) Attend a debate at the British Parliament (not free but worth the price)http://www.parliament.uk/visiting/visiting-and-tours/overseasvisitors/

7) For Da Vinci Code fans out there - http://www.templechurch.com/ again not free but inexpensive a mere 4.00 BP
8) John Keats House 5.00 BP http://www.keatshouse.cityoflondon.gov.uk/220/Visit-us.html

  9) http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/ nothing better than a man in uniform!
10) Lastly something fun and educational for the kids http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/education/Pages/museum/default.aspx

So on your next trip to London, don't forget  these free or nearly free things to do! Ohhhh.. last but not least a couple of very cool maps of London!
