London on a budget - Ric

Question of the week: Do you have any tips on getting the most out of London on a budget?

"My tip for getting the most out of London when living off a student stipend is PLANNING AHEAD. There are so many websites offering reduced entry to events, deals on food and drink, but almost none of them allow you to just walk to a place on the day. Planning ahead, using the internet, as well as the advice of LUP staff (see the previous posts on this blog) and magazines like Time Out will save you £££s!

For example - sign up to the Pizza Express mailing list, and you'll get sent deals every week or so, like this voucher for 2 takeaway pizzas for £10 over the weekend."
