Hey everyone and EXCELSIOR
!!!!
Am oing to London in June, to see my heroes Foo Fighters
and more in Hyde Park, meeting up with pals when there but they leave day after
and i have 2 days to see London with an insane budget...so a couple questions for you helpful guys and gals...
Am arriving on June 16th and leaving again on June 21st, staying at two different hostels near Hyde Park area. Budget: nada except for food and transport and beers before gig.
Well, it's my first time ever flying (YES i know it's embarrasing, 4 trips has gone awol in the past), it's my first ever trip to Britain (and I'm a anglophile, so will fall in love with the city for sure) and....it's my first time at hostels and travelling alone abroad basically! I also have no money at all, so need to spend 0 £...Should be brilliant and inspiring but I am in need of some good tips on how to spend the least amount of money, how to act when travelling alone as a single woman and where to go, etc. And thank you Omisan, you great helper you, for those tips you gave me earlier this year, hope your depeche mode gig was/is great and I still look at Pissed In London with awe...!
For example....
* Is it safe for a young, single woman to take a cab alone at night/very early morning or are the public transports safer??? Stupid to ask, but it differs from place to place, eh? Any tips on what's the cheapest way of transport for those 4 days - a tube card or???
* Where's the best place to have a cheap pint or ten near Hyde Park before the great gig ???
* Food....what's the cheapest way - grocery markets or supermarkets??
* If you had to spend Sunday to Tuesday morning in London, where would YOU go if you had no money??? The British Museum, the parks.....where oh where can you recommend going that's an absolute necessity to see when in London??? Any tips welcome
*Are the cheap buses from Gatwick easy to catch or do you have to calculate with extra time for waiting around for it???
* First time at hostels abroad, so any general tips? (Will stay at single room first, then a dorm the last 2 nights.)
* Any places where you can catch free gigs/cheap gigs during day time in London?
* What's the best (read cheapest...) bookshop for 50p books and second hand graphic novels/comics???
Well that's just some of the numerous silly questions in my head right now...Will probably return with MANY more. Looking forward to your views on the lovely London and tips on where to go and where not to stick your finger in
Bombard me with your brilliant tips, eh?
cheers
