"Free Stuff" Sightseeing Tip by tvor

Favorite thing: London is quite large and it isn't cheap. Still, there's plenty to do and see in London that doesn't cost you a penny. Museums and galleries, all the major ones, are free for regular collections. There are plenty of churches that don't charge and have some lovely stained glass, sculpture and history and if Cathedrals are your thing, there's always Westminster Cathedral (the red and white brick one), Southwark Cathedral and St. George's Southwark.

Major museums and galleries that are free:
British Museum
Victoria and Albert Museum
Natural History and Science Museum
Imperial War Museum
National Gallery
National Portrait Gallery
Wallace Collection
Sir John Soane's Museum
Museum of London
Tate Britain and Tate Modern

Lots of smaller places as well. Some of the major attractions that do charge, charge quite a lot such as Madam Toussaud's, the Tower of London, the London Eye and even St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey charge admission now but check guide books because some of them have a free evening or discounted admission an hour before closing.
