London, England is widely known as one of the most expensive cities in
the world. Consequently, a low-cost visit to London must be carefully
planned.
Because most charter flights from North America arrive at Gatwick airport
which is located south of London, it is often preferable to find initial
accommodation in Kent, rather than trying to find a hotel in the heart of
London.
One option is to stay in a seaside town such as Folkestone and then purchase single-day return rail tickets into London.
Folkestone, is a lovely little English town that is relatively inexpensive (outside the summer months). From Folkestone, it is possible to bus
to Dover (i.e. the ferry terminal to Europe), Canterbury and other places of interest
in Kent.
Many of the low-cost air carriers from Europe fly into
London area airports such as Stansted, Luton and Gatwick. Heathrow
airport handles most business travel.
