How much would a weekend break for 2 in London cost?

• im planning on taking my girlfriend to london for a weekend get away together and was wondering: how much it would cost for the two of us to spent 2 nights in a nice 3 - 4 star hotel in central london how much it would be for sightseeing such as london eye, the dungeons, madam tusards and london sightseeing tours. Links to sites appreciated, thanks :)

• Answer:

  Well London isn't a cheap city but as with anywhere if you do your research then you can keep the cost in the realms of reasonable. The average room price per night is £115 but you can find far cheaper. I'm guessing you'll want to be fairly central so for a 3* hotel/b&b we're talking £50-£100 per night for a room in central. WC2 Area http://www.bedandbreakfasts.co.uk/propertysearch.asp?postcode=WC2 WC1 Area http://www.bedandbreakfasts.co.uk/propertysearch.asp?postcode=WC1 If you want somewhere a wee bit cheaper and don't mind jumping on the tube or bus then consider looking just outside of the central zones. Consider looking at the beautiful Richmond or the great transport links of Earls Court and you can save quite a bit. Have a look on http://www.lastminute.com/site/travel/hotels/ They also have hotel and theatre deals that give you a really great saving as opposed to doing them sepearatly http://www.lastminute.com/site/entertainment/theatre/theatre-breaks.html?intcmp=londonpage_theatrebreaks Or comedy and hotel packages http://www.lastminute.com/site/entertainment/daysout/comedy-and-parties.html?intcmp=lnav_citybreaks_comedybreaks As for the sights it's worth considering buying an all in one pass as, depending on how many sights you want to see, this can keep the cost down and save you a lot of money. London Pass have tickets that cover all manner of sights and it comes in at £52 each http://www.londonpass.com If you just want to stick to the three you listed then have a look at this offer called the Multi Ticket, it comes out at just £44 a head for the Eye, The Dungeons and Madame Tussauds. http://www.thedungeons.com/en/offers/multi-ticket.html That said a lot of the more interesting aspects of London don't have to cost a thing as many of the galleries and museums have free entry This is a great site for details of low cost and free activities http://www.londontourist.org/free.html Finally there's a great group on Facebook that gives you an insiders guide to London's best little secrets, it'll be a good way to show off to your Mrs by taking her off the beaten tourist track http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/group.php?gid=2263648818&ref=ts Hope this helps and that you have a great break
