Everyone who has at least once thought about going to the UK or communicating with people who have been in the "Foggy Albion" knows full well that this is a very expensive country. Therefore, to orient oneself in the prices of goods and services that a tourist will need, it is necessary for everyone who has firmly decided to go to travel to England.
Prices for hotels
Accommodation in hotels, hotels, hostels and apartments is perhaps the most serious expense of a tourist in England. A bed in a London hostel costs 12-15 pounds per night, but the most common in England are hotels operating in a wide price range from £ 40 to £ 130 per night.
As an alternative to living in large university centers, it is possible to rent rooms on campuses during the holidays. It usually costs from 40 pounds, but it assumes self-reliance of the guest.
Food prices
You can eat in England yourself, which allows you to save considerably. The topic of independent food for foreign tourists in England is quite popular and is actively discussed on thematic forms. On average, an economical diet for a week will cost 20-25 pounds. However, few people resist the temptation to visit a real English pub, where you can order a lunch at around 10 pounds. In inexpensive cafes and restaurants, the average cost of lunch is about 15-20 pounds and rarely exceeds 100 pounds even in relatively expensive institutions.
Prices for fare
Tariffs for travel in British transport may seem relatively high, but fines for unpaid travel are even higher. A bus ride in London costs 1-4 pounds depending on the distance (the number of transport zones). The fare on the subway is about the same as the fare on buses. One mile by taxi will cost between 4 and 7 pounds depending on the day of the week. A taxi from Heathrow Airport to central London, for example, will cost between 40 and 70 pounds.
The cost of entering museums and prices for souvenirs
Those who want to get acquainted with the rich traditions of the UK and at the same time save money should be rushed - the government of the kingdom is considering the issue of canceling a free entrance to state museums, including the famous British Museum. For those who are willing to pay for sightseeing tours, it will not be difficult to find a lot of offers from domestic and foreign agencies: the cost of participation in various group tours starts from 25 pounds per person (depending on the size of the group).
Prices for souvenirs start from 1, 5-3 pounds and do not know the limit.
