London for Free

From the British Museum to the London Zoo, a list of sights that are always free in London, England

London is odd in that it charges admission to its top churches, but lets you into its major museums—as well as dozens of lesser-known ones—for free. This is fantastic news, since everything else from lodging to a pint in the pub costs much more in London than in most European destinations. At least the sightseeing is (largely) free. Most of these place do have a "suggested donation" policy, so if you can spare a pound or two it's worthwhile to help keep these institutions free for everyone.
