The very first thing to do in London, is to travel there on a fixed budget. Do not spend a buck load of money on expensive air lines travels and try to opt for an economy seat. Also try to book your ticket in advance as usually during the tourist seasons, air fare increases immensely. So the very first tip, book your ticket way beforehand so that you can get it on a lesser rate. If you do not wish to travel by air, you can also try other methods, you can travel by coach, or by train and you can even get good and affordable ferry deals. Hence, you aren't only restricted to travelling expensive by air.
What more can you do to make your trip more affordable? What happens when you get to London, since travelling on cabs and taxis can really put a hole through your wallet? You can get your oyster card if you are planning to stay for a week or more than that. Oyster cards allow you to travel through the underground system and on buses as well, so no matter where you are you can get a ride at very cheap rates through your oyster card.
Living in London can also be very expensive and do not go for the expensive hotels that are located in London as they will charge you tons of money.

They are present throughout London and are very much affordable as well. By doing these things you can save money on travelling, living and even eating and really enjoy your vacation by visiting the famous places you always wanted to.
