MONEY TALKS
Speak Like a Londoner:
You will usually hear British people say "pee" rather than pence, as in 50p (50 pee).
More colloquially, a pound is known as a "quid", a five pound note is a "fiver" and a ten pound note a "tenner".

7. COSTS (accommodation)
London can be an extremely expensive experience, but doesn’t necessarily have to be.
The main expense any visitor will have to bear is that of accommodation.
You’ll need to budget an absolute minimum of £25 per night for a hostel dorm, rising sharply to at least £60 for a room of your own almost anywhere, and further to £120 for a room you’re actually likely to want to spend any time in.

COSTS (eating out)
Eating out can be done on a budget, with plenty of good cheap eats to be had in every neighbourhood. However, even at the cheapest of the cheap, it’s no trifle – a decent sandwich will cost you around £3.
A good meal for two with wine is usually around the £80 to £100 mark.

9. COSTS (getting around)
Getting around London can also be expensive. One obvious step to save cash is to get yourself an Oyster card immediately upon arrival (or even order one at home before you travel.
The Oyster Card saves money – a one-way trip costs £4 with a ticket, £1.80 by Oyster.

10. COSTS (Entertainment)
Entertainment is likewise not cheap: cinema tickets in the West End have long since crossed the £10 threshold.

COSTS (Museums)
One surprising boon for such an expensive city is that all state-funded museums are free.
Other sights are variably priced: some may balk at paying £16 for the Tower of London, but you can spend the most part of a day there and see one of the UK’s top attractions, while a big commercial attraction such as Madame Tussauds is just plain overpriced at around £20 per person.

12. Tipping: what's expected in London
There are no fixed rules regarding tipping in London.
It's normal to leave a tip of around 12.5% for good service in restaurants. Check your bill first, however. If a service charge has already been added, there's no need to tip, unless you were particularly pleased with the service.
Taxi drivers may also expect a tip. Round your cab fare up to the nearest pound, or ask your cabbie to "keep the change" to show your thanks.
You do not need to leave a tip in an English pub.

A Good Piece of Advice
Compare the exchange rates on offer and don't forget to ask about the commission.
A good tip is to ask how many pounds you will receive in total after all charges have been deducted.
