Cost of a day in London?

CliffyBiro · 23 Jan 2010 at 13:50

Want to head to London to watch Spurs before the end of the season with my Dad and I have a few questions.

1. You don't need a passport for flights within the UK do you?
2. How would I find the cost of a return flight from Belfast to London?
3. Hotels in the area... which is closest to WHL at a reasonable cost?

Need to keep the cost down on this as much as possible.

1. licence should do it
1. go to a website that does flights
3. google?

1 - No you don't need a passport, just photographic ID, e.g. Driver License etc
2 - When I went to London in June time it was £80 for 2 (through Aer Lingus) from Belfast international to London Heathrow, best just looking through different Airline websites
3 - Some nice B&B's near Liverpool Street Station, google them, price is reasonable enough and your in the City Center

Saying that, you can get decent food really cheaply in London if you look for offers.

It's not rocket science, Use Google.

When I'm in london its normally for work and I get x amount each meal. I don't know london well enough to go 'walkies', just look for a 'nice' close place.

Meant more in the way of which airline to go with rather than going through each one, but point taken.

For point (1) I'd suggest seeing what the airlines you are looking with flying with require. Technically you may only need a photographic id like a driving license but if they require a passport then you could be screwed.

1) You must have some recognised form of photo ID, full UK/NI driving license (photo card one, provisional license is not valid), passport, ID card etc.

2) Go with Easyjet, just check their site, prices change all the time

yes i go to places called "chip shops" and a big red & blue building called "Tesacohes" thats what the natives call it.

CliffyBiro · 23 Jan 2010 at 14:06

Easyjet looks reasonable. £77 for 2 people return.

My plan exactly.

This will all be much easier when Spurs build their Hotel.

You could always stay here

That was actually helpful.

Gives an idea of how much the Spurs one will charge.

In 2004 I flew with BA using an Edinburgh uni student ID. Not sure if they would still take that! Try priceline.co.uk for rooms - you can name your own price and so you sometimes get rooms for next to nothing. Skyscanner.net tends to be a good flight search tool

Most airlines will accept driving licence as a form of idea. Though i know ryan air only accept passports now, dont know of any others though

buckeejit · 23 Jan 2010 at 17:45

cheap flights from belfast - easyjet or ryanair.

You could save money by just staying at home and stabbing yourself. East Ham is the worst part of London I've stayed in, especially the area arround the football ground.

http://www.eurohotelslondon.co.uk/sleeping_beauty.html is fairly close to Tottenham. I've used it a few times whilst working as it's cheap for London, clean and in a reasonable area. It's easy enough to get the tube in to the centre.
