How much money to stay for 2 weeks in england
Budget for a 2-Week Trip to England
Hi everyone! My girlfriend and I are planning a two-week trip to England this September, and I’d love some advice on budgeting. We have free accommodation in Hastings, but we’ll need to cover our food and entertainment expenses. We plan to spend a lot of time traveling to Brighton and London.
Thanks in advance for any tips!
That sounds like an exciting trip! Since you have free accommodation in Hastings, you can save quite a bit on that front. Here’s a rough estimate of what you might consider for your budget:
Food:
– For budget meals, you might spend around £10-£15 per person per day if you’re eating at cafes or grabbing takeaways. For nicer meals, it might be around £25-£35 per person per day. So for 14 days, you could estimate between £280 and £490 for food for both of you.
Transportation:
– If you plan to travel to Brighton and London, consider the costs for train fares. A return trip from Hastings to Brighton is roughly £10-£20 per person. The train from Hastings to London can range from £20-£30 per person. Budget around £100-£150 for transportation for the two of you if you’re traveling back and forth a few times.
Activities:
– Entry fees for attractions can vary significantly. Museums in London are often free, but if you plan to visit places like the Tower of London or go for shows in the West End, tickets can range from £20-£100+ each. You might want to budget around £300-£400 for experiences and activities.
Total Estimate:
So, in total, you might be looking at a budget of £700-£1,000 for the two weeks (including food, transportation, and fun activities). Adjust this based on your plans and preferences, and don’t forget to set aside a little extra for unexpected expenses or souvenirs!
Enjoy your trip!
