Top free things to do in London

The best free attractions around the city of London.


@ Tate modern

1. Tate Modern: Tate Modern is an exceptional national art gallery housing some of the finest artworks in the world, focusing on contemporary art.

2. Museums: All of London's major museums are free. My favorites are the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum and as they located next to each other, it works out well to see them both in a day.

3. South Bank: So many London landmarks can be seen along this stretch of the River Thames including The London Eye and Tate Modern.

4. Trafalgar Square: Trafalgar Square is one of Britain's greatest visitor attractions and was designed by John Nash in the 1820s and constructed in the 1830s. This iconic square has many sights to see including Nelson's Column and the National Gallery. It is both a tourist attraction and the main focus for political demonstrations.

5. Street Performers: The West Piazza of Covent Garden Market has street performers to entertain you every afternoon. Good acts can draw huge crowds and the performers love to get audience members to help them with their act. All performers are licensed and have passed an audition to perform here.

6. Street Markets: London is well-known for its popular street markets. The most popular are Camden Market and Portobello Market, following closely by Greenwich Market.

7. Free Music: Southbank Centre has lots of free music and other events and there's Free foyer concerts at the National Theatre, also on the South Bank.

8. Spinning Hat: Come and visit Spinning Hat in shoreditch to meet our fantastic team behind all this creativity. Whilst in the area, you will also see some great grafitti from the likes of Shepard Fairy, Space invader, Banksy and many many others.
