London budget question, staying for 2 weeks
London Budget Inquiry for Two Weeks
I’ll be in London for two weeks with my accommodation already covered. I have a budget of €2200 to cover food, transportation, attractions, and miscellaneous expenses.
I’m not aiming for anything extravagant—just looking to explore, enjoy some good meals, and soak up the city without feeling too restricted financially. Do you think this budget is sufficient, or should I consider increasing it?
Your budget of €2200 for two weeks in London gives you about €157 per day, which is quite reasonable for a moderate experience in the city, especially since your accommodation is already taken care of.
Here’s a rough breakdown to help you evaluate your budget:
If you plan to eat out for all three meals, you might budget around £30-£50 per day, which is about €35-€60. This will allow for a mix of casual meals and a few nicer dinners.
Transport:
The Tube and buses are an efficient way to get around. A contactless Oyster card could cost you around £7 for the card itself, and daily travel can be capped at about £7-£10 a day depending on your travel patterns. Budget about £80-£100 for the entire stay.
Attractions:
Many museums are free, but for those that have an entrance fee, expect to pay anywhere from £10-£30. Consider budgeting around £100-£150 for attractions over two weeks.
General Spending:
In summary, here’s one way you can break it down:
Totals: £800-£1150 (~€950-€1350)
With your budget of €2200, it seems like you will have more than enough to cover these expenses, with some leftover for flexibility or any extra plans that may come up. Just be mindful of your spending, especially if you indulge in more expensive dining or attractions. Enjoy your trip!
