How much should I budget for a trip to London?

I am planning a trip to London in Feb for 3 weeks work related. Advise places to visit in small budget?

• Will be working from 9am-6pm. So will have evenings for my self and wekends. Is there any place close by which is worth visiting during a weekend keeping the climate in mind, Also what are the must visit tourist places in London. And can I be doing something after work at 6.00, or does everthing is shut by then, will be working at Bishop's Gate. I have 2 other female collegues with me.

• Answer:

  London doesn't close down after 6! London never closes down, There are lots of bars, clubs restaurants etc that will be open all night long. You probably mean Bishopsgate, near Liverpool Street statiion which is in the City of London. For some reason tourists always go to Madame Toussauds. Londoners rarely go there. Up to you. You'll be near the Tower of London, so should see that. London has excellent museums which are open at weekends and often after work too. Try to go to the Wallace Collection and the Soanes Museum as well as the more obvious British Museum and National Gallery. So far as nearby places are concerned, I'd recommend Oxford and Stratford-on-Avon. I hope you all have a good time in London. I should have said - all of the above are low budget apart from Madame Tussauds. You have to pay to visit the Tower of London, but can stroll around the park by the moat for free
