England on Shoestring
If you're a shoestring traveller, there's no getting around it-England isn't cheap. Public transport,
restaurants and hotel rooms all tend (趨向) to be expensive compared to many other European countries.
But you can save money by staying in B&Bs instead of hotels, or hostels instead of B&Bs. You can also
save considerably,by prebooking long-distance travel by coach or train-and by avoiding (避開) the times
when everyone else is on the move (such as Friday afternoon). Many attractions are free or offer
discounts on quiet days (eg Mondays).
Arriving in England
＊Heathrow Airport
Train to Paddington Station every 15 minutes
＊Gatwick Airport
Train to Victoria station every 15 minutes
＊Eurostar trains from Paris or Brussels
Arrive at St Pancras International Station in
central London
＊Buses from Europe
Arrive at London Victoria Coach Station
