"A great read. Lively and unabashedly opinionated." -New York Post budget travel redefined I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you not only how to spend less in London, but how to see it in a more authentic way, without sacrificing comfort for savings. Cozy, restful accommodations: Instead of spending $300 a night for a faceless chain hotel, bed down in a private home for just $33 (p. 32), or rent Virginia Woolf's childhood home for $126 (p. 31). Food finds: Eat where the locals do and save-from classic fish and chips joints (p. 115) to Indian favorites (p.

116) to an affordable but still elegant spot for high tea (p. 100). Sights and attractions: Find insightful and in-depth coverage of London's iconic sights and the gems most visitors miss, plus fascinating self-guided walking tours. Insider's London: Make new friends at a Sunday Pub Roast (p. 214), build burrows for hedgehogs with the London Wildlife Trust (p. 209), or spend an afternoon watching the political brawls in Parliament (p. 198).
