If you’re trying to plan your London trip right now, you’re probably feeling…

  • Confused about how much everything will ACTUALLY cost you so you can’t make a proper budget.
  • Like you’re forgetting super important paperwork and other things you didn’t know London tourists have to have.
  • That you don’t want to explore London alone but you don’t know where to find fellow travellers who aren’t weirdos 👀
  • Confused about London weather, and have no idea what clothes you should bring with you.

    Can I print the London Cost Guide?

    We'd prefer if you didn't, it has lots of links in it which obviously won't work if you print it, plus it'll be a waste of paper and ink. It's designed to be used digitally so try to keep it that way :)

    Do I need to have a Google account to use this?

    Yes, you just need a Google Docs account via Gmail to save your file to.

    Do you have recommendations in the Cost Guide for budget travelers?

    Yes! We have a "budget" category for each section and we also recommend some hostels.

    We're traveling as a family, does this work for us?

    While the Cost Guide doesn't have a family-specific section, we included a few notes about which recommendations are kid-friendly (up to 13 years old). The Budget Tracker has a spot where you enter how many people you're traveling with and then the spreadsheet does all the math for you, when relevant.
