We know that there are many people who want to see London so much but stay a hundred steps behind their dreams because it is too expensive; because we were two of those people. We still agree on its expensiveness; It is indeed a city where it is very difficult to travel with Turkish Lira as you wish, but just because it is expensive is an excuse not to come here, the free activities of this city are wonderful! When we went, we saw it on the spot; we tried it ourselves. Come on, let’s see what we can do in London without spending a penny, where we can visit for free!
TO DO FOR FREE IN LONDON THINGS
#1 Free Tour of London’s National Museums and Galleries:
Interesting but true; Free admission to London’s national museums and galleries. Let’s list what you want to see in the long list of the world’s best museums..

#3 Photograph the Sky Garden Free, Watch London From Its Terrace:
Sky, one of London’s greenest venues Garden reminds us of Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. 35 floors above, Sky Garden, in botanical garden architecture, has two of the city’s most popular bars and two restaurants.. By making a reservation at Darwin or Fenchurch restaurants, you could enjoy both the lush environment and the view with signature recipes, but we think it is a much better option to book a free tour via the link on their website.. It’s free after all.
Limited quota for free entry, opens weekly, 3 weeks in advance. At this point, you need to act fast; because places fill up fast. The tour plan can be made between 10:00 – 18:00 on weekdays and 11:00 – 21:00 on weekends.. They say the one who gets up early gets the way; Enter Sky Garden’s website, book places and take the most beautiful panoramic city photos from its terrace!

#4 Take a Walk, Picnic in Huge Parks:
In our country Since there are not many examples, we take care to see the parks of the cities we go to during our travels.. In particular, there is an enviable park culture, far from what we are used to in Europe.. London, on the other hand, has taken this level of culture to space.. And of course, these huge, green parks are at the top of the list of places where you can go for free in London.. A trip to London without Hyde Park would be incomplete anyway.. It is best that we list the parks so that they are marked on the maps.. So, even if you don’t have time to walk the length of it, you can go and take a short break when you’re on your way! Hyde Park, St.. James Park, Greenwich Park, Regent’s Park and Kensington Gardens are our favourites.. Whether you evaluate the hiking trails or have a picnic on the grass; here you go.
Regent’s Park, London
#5 Discover Street Art in Shoreditch, Visit Antiques Shops:
South of the city Shoreditch, one of East London’s most beloved districts, is a place where alternative culture and the new symbol of creativity in London. When it comes to free activities, the hipster district Shoreditch is automatically included in the list; because street art and markets are officially asked from Shoreditch in this city! Take a walk in the colorful streets on your Shoreditch trip, visit Wilkes Street and Princelet Street with iconic houses, photograph the murals that appear in every corner of Brick Lane, and taste a bagel from Beigel Bake when you get hungry.. Do not forget to enter the antique shops that you come across during your walk and visit the markets.. If you want to spread out on the grass and take a short break, end the route with Shoreditch Park..
Piccadilly Circus, London
#6 Check Out Royal Life at Buckingham Palace:
Watching the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace is another free activity in London. The ceremony, performed by the guards who came on foot from Wellington Barracks near Buckingham Palace and took over the palace, is a royal tradition that has been going on since 1660.. The changing of the guard, which takes place at 11:00 every morning in summer and every other day in winter if the weather is suitable, takes approximately 40 minutes.. Since the days and hours sometimes change, we recommend that you check the date and time on this link before you go.. If you want a good angle to take pictures, be in the area like 10.00.

#7 Explore London’s Markets:
If you love to visit the markets on your travels, you will love London! Brick Lane Market for food and vintage items, Colombia Road Flower Market for flowers, Borough Market and Camden Market for world cuisine, Camden, Greenwich, Old Spitalfield and Portobello markets for antiques are favorites. We definitely recommend Brick Lane, Borough and Portobello markets; better check their days online before you go.
Borough Market, London
#8 Walk Through the City’s Landmark Architectures:
Start at Westminster Bridge and Thames to see the city’s most popular architectures for free You can take a walk along the river to the Millennium Bridge.. This route includes Westminster Abbey, Big Ben in restoration by 2021, London Eye and St.. Paul’s Church with you. Entry to Tower Bridge, the symbol of London, is free; When you’re done with your photo shoot on one side, walk over the bridge, take a short break in the middle, then the other side.. As they say, the best trip is on foot.. We made it up, thanks………
Tower Bridge, London
#9 Take a Music Tour in the City:
One of the first cities that come to mind when you think of music, as in every branch of art London. Noon concerts at the Royal College of Music, Tuesday and Thursday concerts by The Royal Academy of Music, Live at Lunch performances by the Royal Opera House, performances hosted by The Southbank Center every Friday at noon, and Monday – Wednesday – Fridays in St.. Recitals that start at 1 PM at James’s Piccadilly are some of the music shows you can watch for free in London.. Speaking of music, we don’t forget to photograph the Beatles’ album cover pose at Abbey Road.
Notting Hill, London

Feel like you’re in Venice on #10 Regent’s Canal:
We made a headline like that, but do you really need to feel like you’re in Venice when you’re in London? We don’t think so, ahhah They called the area where Regent’s Canal and Grand Union Canal meet Little Venice, and that’s where the title actually comes from.. Colorful boats around the canal, large and small cafes on the terraces and Regency-style houses offer a different view of London.. And if the season is summer, we think this region is becoming more and more photogenic.. If you end your tour of the canal area at Granary Square, first take a breather on the steps against Central Saint Martins college, then take a little tour of the outdoor mall called Coal Drops Yard.

BONUS: Platform 9 for Harry Potter Fans ¾
Platform 9 ¾, which we have memorized by watching Harry Potter movies, is located at King’s Cross, the largest station in the city, to catch the train to Hogwarts.. Wall decorated with suitcase trolley and Hedwig’s cafe, 9. and 10. between the platforms. Since the platform is one of the most touristic spots in London, with the Harry Potter themed store right next to it, there is always a queue in front of it; but it goes fast. There is also a professional photographer on the platform from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.. Using the scarf in any color you want, you can –really- pose and take a free photo here.. If you want it to be professional, the photographer’s shot quickly takes its place in the store.. Well, while you’re gone, visit The Harry Potter Shop.
We’ve come to the end of our Free Things to Do in London list with Platform 9 ¾. You can reach all our photos and notes about London on Instagram with the hashtag #journaveluk on profile.. Follow us, let’s travel together!
Congratulations my Asian brothers!
