Free Things to Do in London
You don't need to spend a cent to have an incredible time in London. Here are the best free experiences the city has to offer.
Free activities in London
British Museum
One of the world's greatest museums — entirely free. The Rosetta Stone, Elgin Marbles, and Egyptian mummies are just the highlights. Go on Friday evenings when it's open late and quieter.
Walk the South Bank
From Westminster Bridge to Tower Bridge along the Thames — free art at Tate Modern, street performers, the Globe Theatre exterior, and Borough Market. London's best walk, completely free.
Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens
London's green heart — free to explore. The Serpentine lake, Peter Pan statue, Diana Memorial Fountain, and Speaker's Corner are all free. Sunday morning walks here are quintessentially London.
Tate Modern
The permanent collection is free and world-class — Rothko, Warhol, Hockney, Bourgeois. The Turbine Hall installations are always spectacular. The viewing terrace on Level 10 has free Thames panoramas.
Camden Market
Free to wander through the stalls, street food vendors, and canal-side paths. The energy is chaotic and creative. The Stables Market in converted horse hospital buildings is the most atmospheric section.
Sky Garden
A free rooftop garden on the 35th floor of the Walkie Talkie building. Book online (free tickets release weekly) for panoramic views and tropical plants. The sunrise sessions are magical.
Greenwich Park and Observatory Views
Free panoramic views of the London skyline from the hilltop near the Royal Observatory. The Maritime Museum below is also free. The Sunday market and pie & mash shops add character.
National Gallery
Free entry to one of the world's finest art collections — Van Gogh's Sunflowers, Turner's Fighting Temeraire, and entire rooms of Renaissance masterpieces. Trafalgar Square outside is equally impressive.
