  • TPG's own Nicky and Liam invite their friend Maz for a day out in London. But there's a catch - each of them will have a very different budget to spend. In a rare occurrence, Nicky get's the low budget itinerary, Liam goes mid-range, and Maz shows us what luxury looks like in this grand city.

    From watching this, I'm so not a lux kinda gal. Budget to mid range is my kind of way. Have you guys got more of your favorites like fish and chip shop or breakfast place?

    Prices in Tesco and Lidl are often more expensive in London than the north. It depends on what you are buying and which part of London. I paid £1.99 for a 500ml coke from a Tesco in London. Never paid that outside of london

    Funny to see Dishoom featured here. My wife's best friend's husband actually co-founded the chain.
    Enjoyed the three levels of touring. I kind of like the chill vibe we get instead of the frenetic racing (which I still enjoy).

    Have to say I’d spend £25 NOT to see Six but I guess I’m just an old git. London is a great place just to wander around which is good for the budget. The problem is when you want to find a hotel room at a budget. I found one the other day at £80 per night in Pimlico. It was a tiny room but clean and comfy. It would be interesting to see Nicky, Liam and Max compare cheap, mid range and luxury hotels too.

    Good video. My tips: walk or use the Tube; drink in pubs rather than bars - my last pint £4.50; find restaurants with set menus - I like Brasserie Zedel, in Sherwood Street; and book your theatre-tickets (and trains) a couple of weeks ahead, choosing shows coming to the end of their run.

    Great video - thank you all! The Indian YMCA was a brilliant tip, as was Dishoom. I’ve been a fan of Gymkhana, so it was nice to see it featured. All the drink options were perfect…I often will do Berners Tavern at The Edition if Dukes or one of my other choices is too full…as it’s a gorgeous room and it’s also in the neighborhood where my London friends live.

    Could you create a similar video to this for families please and thank you?

    Was in London back in June for work and then spent the weekend doing my own thing. I did a mix of Mid to Luxe. I took black cabs if they were around and then Uber if not. Enjoyed the Ivy and 2 shows on west end (paid full price because I booked good seats a month before). Drank in a mix of fancy bars and pubs. Don’t think I would do pure luxe or pure mid. Gotta mix it up a bit!!

      Royalty, very wealthy people, and celebrities don’t stay at the Shangri-La when in London, although it’s a good hotel. They tend to stay at The Dorchester, The Goring, Claridge’s, The Ritz, or The Savoy. Then you have the Mandarin Oriental, The Lanesborough, The Langham, The Corinthia, The Connaught, and smaller hotels like Brown’s and Dukes.

    Londoner here, the spending on transport via cabs and uber luxe is obscene and 100% unnecessary if you ever visit London. London has tube stations, rail stations and bus stops everywhere, much of central london is in easy walking distance, and rapid, cheap tube or bus journey distance. Tube fares are under £3 and bus fares under £2. If you take black cabs and ubers you will spend ages waiting for them to turn up, they get stuck in traffic and you should only take them if you are happy for your hard earned money to evaporate
