London is infamous for being an expensive city, ready to drain your bank account. This isn’t totally untrue, however, you can go out and have a top Valentine’s for very little cash. You just need to know where to look.
Grab a ride on the cable car for as little as a fiver and get a view of London’s iconic cityscape. Some of the sights that can be seen include Canary Wharf, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Shard, and the O2. Perfect for a romantic journey across the Thames, you can board from either Greenwich Peninsula or Royal Docks.
If you are not scared of heights, venture 35 floors up the Walkie-Talkie to the Sky Garden, London’s highest public garden. In the heart of the city, you can get beautiful views of both the landscape and the sky across London. Perhaps even the perfect place to propose? Book a free slot and prepare to be amazed. Yes, there is a lift!
Laugh the night away at the Top Secret Comedy Club in Covent Garden. There are a range of comedians on stage every night. Even for a comedian of the stature of Russell Howard, tickets were only £12.50. Sounds like the perfect evening for comedy lovers.
Take a romantic stroll through the Kyoto Garden in Holland Park. The garden includes a wonderful array of Japanese horticulture, water features and the occasional peacock. Most importantly, it is free. You are also near the wonderful Notting Hill, home to the iconic Portobello Road and hopeless lover, William Thacker.
You can enjoy Leadenhall Market’s stunning Victorian architecture in the heart of the City of London for absolutely no money at all. The building is home to a whole host of restaurants, bars, and independent shops. Some of which are perfectly affordable and will be geared up for celebrations.
