Thinking of taking a trip to London
The summer is coming to end. Most people are sad, but for me, this means it’s cheap travel season. I’ve been thinking of taking a trip to London. I visited London several times when I lived in Europe, but it was limited to the airport to transfer. I would love to take the time out to spend a week or two seeing the historic sites and enjoying the scenic beauty of London.
I’ve been looking into my options, and it seems that SAS is offering some really good prices at the moment (something to do with their company’s birthday). As my friends constantly remind me when I talk about this, London is an expensive city. I’ve been thinking about that as well, and it looks like the London Pass is a great way to save some money when you visit London.
I’ve also spent some time planning what I’d like to see. There’s a really cool website (actually The Official Website for London) that helps in this area. They let you enter in your location of origin and then have a site that is custom / tailored to meet your needs. The site has hotel bookings, tourist passes, exhibition information, and tons of other ideas for tourists.
With the London Pass and the SAS combination, I think the trip can be done fairly inexpensively. Browsing the official London site I can also see that there are other savings available for the cost conscious tourist. I’m guessing it’s like it was when I lived in Copenhagen—a place that can be expensive if you aren’t careful. Just like Copenhagen, it seems that if you know where to go, and if you plan ahead, there are deals to be found and the trip can be done without entirely emptying my savings account…
