I am an expat Brit and will be back in the UK this summer. I am a bit clueless about London so would appreciate some advice!
I am hoping to spend about 5 days in London (just me and my 5yo daughter) and would like to keep things reasonable.
Would appreciate some advice about free and cheap things to do. As the UK is like a foreign country to me in some ways, just ordinary/everyday things and taking in the ambiance is great. Parks or wandering about markets or whatever. I think there are a lot of free or cheap museums we could visit as well?
We don't have a car back home and are completely used to keeping ourselves entertained on trains and buses, so there is no need to stay in in a particularly central place.
In terms of how far out we could be: I think we would want to be in an area that would enable us to get to parks/museums etc. in no more than 50-60 minutes door-to-door, so I suppose a maximum of about 30-40 minutes on the train or bus.
We would like a cheap bed and breakfast. Doesn't have to be at all fancy. However, the area it is located in must be basically safe, as I will be by myself with my child.
Any and all advice appreciated!
