I will be there in 10 days ... can't wait.

One question .... hmm... how is that museums are free to visit :D

I was always curious about this ...

[MACALLA]

Many museums were financed through subscription (i.e. interested people donated specimens and money) and endowments (money left in wills etc.) Many are also supported by the Lottery Fund and the local council and donations from visitors who have enjoyed their visit are very welcome.

You'll also find that some smaller or specialist museums do now charge a small entry fee.

If I can help with any other answers, please let me know.

Have a good trip,

I am coming to England in a month. I will stay for one and half year there to complete my studies. I like to know the expenses for a week and also the good places to watch in England.

Is food very expensive?

[MACALLA]

Hi Redgeek,
food has become more expensive over the last couple of months, but that does not mean it's outrageous. Some supermarkets (Aldi, Somerfield, Lidl) are generally a bit cheaper. And shopping in farmer's markets is very good value for money.
But even the big brand supermarkets have their budget ranges and multi-buy offers, so if you look round carefully, you can keep your bills down.
Eating (and drinking) out is more expensive, but even here you can make sensible choices. I always find the local Indian restaurants very good value...

shout if you need some more specific info

Food can vary in price, but as with most places, the better places will be more expensive!

Can you suggest me a reputed and trusted London based travel agent to deal with all of my official tours? We prefer to stay in five star hotels and often come there in a group of three or four. We are planning to include some more travel agencies in official list apart from travel.justluxe.com , skylorduk.com and rtc-travel.co.uk.

Top museums:
* Natural History Museum - Natural history and geology
* Science Museum - As it says on the tin
* V&A - Design throughout the centuries from clothing to guns and more

These three above are all near South Kensington.

* British Museum - Archeology and ancient artifacts - near the West End
* Museum of London - All about history of London - in the City of London
* Imperial War Museum - All about war - near Southwark.

hope that helps.
