There are an incredible number of thrift stores in London. If you’re planning a trip to the capital city, and you’re hoping to find some second hand treasures- you will not be disappointed.
Londoners come from all walks of life, and you can find weird and wonderful donations in thrift shops in London. If you head to wealthier areas like Chelsea or Notting Hill, you are more likely to find designer pieces. But if you head to more residential areas, you are likely to find some real bargains.
Luckily, the tube connects London extremely well. So even if you’re staying in central London, and you want to head to a different neighbourhood to shop- you can just jump on the tube and be there in no time.
…
If you don’t want to use the underground to get into central London, you can choose to drive into the centre of the city instead. As long as you are comfortable with slow moving traffic and crowded roads, you will be absolutely fine.
Most Londoners choose to commute by tube, which means that although car parking comes at a premium in London, you are fairly likely to be able to find yourself a parking space. Remember, you’ll also have to consider the congestion charge if you travel in the charging zone between 7am-6pm Mon-Fri. This charge is £11.50.
Hourly rates of parking spaces make finding the cheapest place to park in central London no easy feat. But this guide will help you to pay less for your parking when you visit central London.

A cheap haircut in London is pretty hard to come by- unless you know where to look! So if you want to find out how to get a cheap haircut in London, you’ve come to the right place.
Haircuts at top salons can set you back well over £100, with colour coming in at hundreds more. It’s hard to justify spending that much on your hair if you are on a budget. And even if you’re not on a budget, it’s a lot of money to spend on your hair multiple times a year.
But before you get those scissors out for a home styling session, remember that you can get haircuts at London salons for next to nothing. With trainee haircuts starting from £3, you can certainly find a haircut for a snip (if you’ll pardon the pun!) of the usual price.
