If you’re looking to explore more of the UK, particularly England, now is the perfect time. Tourist season is low, prices are lower, and the weather in the fall is crisp. If you were looking for a sign or an excuse to book a flight to the UK this November, here you have it. Keep reading for some top recommendations to kick start your trip.

London

If you have never been to England before, a trip would be amiss without stopping in London. Amongst the main tourist attractions, like the Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Big Ben, there are also tons of wonderful culinary experiences to be explored, art, and theater. Be sure to a show in the main strip, as the prices are much lower than Broadway and equally as good. If you’re a foodie, check out Borough Market for a fun, tasty, and cultural culinary scene! Lastly, head to Camden Lock for thrifting, art, and tea shops.

York

York is a charming old city with a rich Viking and Roman history. Located about two hours from London by train, York is worth the trek for its charming narrow streets, filled with bookshops, museums, and cafes. Check out the York Minster, and revel in the the 13th century Gothic structure. Then head to the Viking Centre and learn about the history of Vikings. Lastly, head to York’s Chocolate Story for a hot cup of coco and a taste of Artisan Chocolate.

Cornwall

If you’re looking for breathtaking views and an escape from the city head to Cornwall, located on the Southwestern tip, and well known for its rugged coastline, cliffs, villages and ales. Closer to Wales, Cornwall is known as the “Cornish Rivera,” and has some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Be sure to try their famous Ales, Cornish Pastries, and ice cream.

James Bond would be practically unrecognizable without his shaken martini. The secret agent has probably ordered one in every corner of the globe, but he should try asking for some of these when he is next traveling. 

Tokyo, Japan

The Ritz-Carlton is the epitome of class and the one in Tokyo is located in one of the city’s tallest buildings. If you pay a visit, order the Diamonds are Forever Martini. Made with Absolut Elyx vodka, lime juice, and a one-carat diamond, it will set you back $19,000.

Las Vegas, United States

You’re never short of bar options in Las Vegas, but XS Nightclub is where to head if you want a bit of bling. The Ono Cocktail features Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie 1981 and Rémy Martin’s Louis XIII Black Pearl cognac, as well as a pair of gold cufflinks and an 18-karat gold necklace with a black pearl and diamond. All that for only $10,000.

London, England

The Tale Bar in Mayfair is home to the third most-expensive cocktail in the world. For $7,000 you can order a drink called Salvatore’s Legacy which has 1778 Clos de Griffier Vieux cognac, 1770 Kummel liqueur, Dubb Orange Curacao circa 1860, and two dashes of Angostura bitters circa the 1900s.

You could spend weeks traveling in London and still not experience all it has to offer, but did you know that many of the city’s best attractions are actually free? If you’re planning a trip to London on a limited budget, you may be relieved to discover that there are dozens of museums, galleries, and more that visitors can enjoy without spending a dime (or ten pence, if we’re being accurate). Here are a few of our favorite no-cost activities to check out in The Big Smoke.

Visit the Museums

The British capital is home to dozens of world-class museums that offer free entry to their permanent collections. Travelers interested in ancient history should be sure to stop by The British Museum to see the Rosetta Stone and the Egyptian wing, while art lovers are guaranteed to find something they’ll enjoy at The National Gallery. Note that while tickets are available at no cost, they should be ordered in advance to reserve a time slot.

Explore the Royal Parks

As much as we love London, there’s no denying that between the weather and architecture, the city is rather grey. The Royal Parks offer a taste of fresh air and greenery that can serve as a welcome break from the gloom and a picturesque backdrop for picnics and people-watching. Head to Hyde Park for a stroll around Serpentine Lake, or visit Regent’s Park to see the stunning Queen Mary’s Rose Garden. Some parks even offer free yoga and meditation events when the weather allows. 

Check Out the South Bank

The South Bank of the River Thames is a dynamic cultural hub offering a variety of opportunities for sight-seeing and free entertainment. Walk along the River Thames, where you’re likely to come across plenty of street performers, and browse through the South Bank website here for information on upcoming free events in the area.

If you were looking for a sign or an excuse to book a flight to the UK this November, here you have it. Keep reading for some top recommendations to kick start your trip.

London

If you have never been to England before, a trip would be amiss without stopping in London. Amongst the main tourist attractions, like the Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Big Ben, there are also tons of wonderful culinary experiences to be explored, art, and theater. Be sure to a show in the main strip, as the prices are much lower than Broadway and equally as good. If you’re a foodie, check out Borough Market for a fun, tasty, and cultural culinary scene! Lastly, head to Camden Lock for thrifting, art, and tea shops.

York

York is a charming old city with a rich Viking and Roman history. Located about two hours from London by train, York is worth the trek for its charming narrow streets, filled with bookshops, museums, and cafes. Check out the York Minster, and revel in the the 13th century Gothic structure. Then head to the Viking Centre and learn about the history of Vikings. Lastly, head to York’s Chocolate Story for a hot cup of coco and a taste of Artisan Chocolate.

Cornwall

If you’re looking for breathtaking views and an escape from the city head to Cornwall, located on the Southwestern tip, and well known for its rugged coastline, cliffs, villages and ales. Closer to Wales, Cornwall is known as the “Cornish Rivera,” and has some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Be sure to try their famous Ales, Cornish Pastries, and ice cream.

James Bond would be practically unrecognizable without his shaken martini. The secret agent has probably ordered one in every corner of the globe, but he should try asking for some of these when he is next traveling. 

Tokyo, Japan

The Ritz-Carlton is the epitome of class and the one in Tokyo is located in one of the city’s tallest buildings. If you pay a visit, order the Diamonds are Forever Martini. Made with Absolut Elyx vodka, lime juice, and a one-carat diamond, it will set you back $19,000.

Las Vegas, United States

You’re never short of bar options in Las Vegas, but XS Nightclub is where to head if you want a bit of bling. The Ono Cocktail features Charles Heidsieck Champagne Charlie 1981 and Rémy Martin’s Louis XIII Black Pearl cognac, as well as a pair of gold cufflinks and an 18-karat gold necklace with a black pearl and diamond. All that for only $10,000.

London, England

The Tale Bar in Mayfair is home to the third most-expensive cocktail in the world. For $7,000 you can order a drink called Salvatore’s Legacy which has 1778 Clos de Griffier Vieux cognac, 1770 Kummel liqueur, Dubb Orange Curacao circa 1860, and two dashes of Angostura bitters circa the 1900s.

You could spend weeks traveling in London and still not experience all it has to offer, but did you know that many of the city’s best attractions are actually free? If you’re planning a trip to London on a limited budget, you may be relieved to discover that there are dozens of museums, galleries, and more that visitors can enjoy without spending a dime (or ten pence, if we’re being accurate). Here are a few of our favorite no-cost activities to check out in The Big Smoke.

Visit the Museums

The British capital is home to dozens of world-class museums that offer free entry to their permanent collections. Travelers interested in ancient history should be sure to stop by The British Museum to see the Rosetta Stone and the Egyptian wing, while art lovers are guaranteed to find something they’ll enjoy at The National Gallery. Note that while tickets are available at no cost, they should be ordered in advance to reserve a time slot.

Explore the Royal Parks

As much as we love London, there’s no denying that between the weather and architecture, the city is rather grey. The Royal Parks offer a taste of fresh air and greenery that can serve as a welcome break from the gloom and a picturesque backdrop for picnics and people-watching. Head to Hyde Park for a stroll around Serpentine Lake, or visit Regent’s Park to see the stunning Queen Mary’s Rose Garden. Some parks even offer free yoga and meditation events when the weather allows. 

Check Out the South Bank

The South Bank of the River Thames is a dynamic cultural hub offering a variety of opportunities for sight-seeing and free entertainment. Walk along the River Thames, where you’re likely to come across plenty of street performers, and browse through the South Bank website here for information on upcoming free events in the area.

London, UK, is one of the busiest cities in the world, and all the noise and crowds can become overwhelming for some people. Luckily, there are plenty of parks around the city that will provide you with a place to relax and escape the city noise. Here are the most beautiful ones.

Richmond Park

Richmond Park is one of London’s eight Royal Parks and the city’s second-biggest park. It was originally built in the 17th century as a deer park, and visitors can still spot these animals as they freely roam the green plains, forests, and pathways. Besides enjoying the park’s ponds, hiking trails, and gardens, the visitors can also explore various buildings of historical importance, like the former royal residence White Lodge and Pembroke Lodge, the former residence of British philosopher Bertrand Russell.

Regent’s Park

Located in Inner London, Regent’s Park houses various lavish villas and residences built between the 19th and 20th centuries. The park also offers meticulously arranged gardens, scenic views, and open spaces for picnics and outdoor activities while being home to the London Zoo.

Hyde Park

Hyde Park is the largest park in central London and arguably the city’s most famous and popular green space. The park is famous for hosting various live events, including music concerts from major British and international acts. There are four acres of greenhouses scattered around the park, while visitors can also discover various unusual monuments and statues on its grounds.
