London Museums and Cruises — The perfect (budget-friendly) Saturday!

By: Sarah Scarpa

Looking for something fun to do on a SaIMG_9575turday in London that won’t break your budget?

National Portrait Gallery

Trafalgar Square is one of my favorite spots in London. It’s beautiful. There is so much happening right in the center of some of London’s most amazing museums. The National Portrait Gallery has portraits dating back to the time of the Tudors all the way up to present-day Kate Middleton. It’s a great, FREE day trip to see some great art in London and learn a thing or two. 🙂

London City CruisesIMG_9549

It was a cold, dark, windy Saturday but that didn’t stop the LUIP crew from getting out on the Thames for an amazing tour with City Cruises! It’s the best way to see some of London’s most famous attractions up close and hear some history in the process. There’s an indoor bit for those who would like to have a coffee inside and there’s an amazing open-air deck above that is great for taking pictures, taking in the city and waving to passing boats! …Did I mention the student ticket rate for the circular cruise is only £9.10?!

See you on the next City Cruise!
