Of course, watching those kinds of shows or theatrical acts could be costly (especially if you will watch many of them because for sure one show is not enough). There are also budget-friendly London entertainment ideas especially for you if you are on a tight budget.

1. Watch free concerts in the National Theatre “Djanogly Concert Pitch” every 5:45 PM Mondays to Fridays and 1 PM for Saturdays. You can also enjoy free Friday night concerts on Southbank Centre. And also, have a dose of the world’s greatest bands playing their new singles at HMV flagship store on Oxford Street.
2. If you’re a big screen lover, then take pleasure at Roxy Bar and Screen. It has weekly screenings of latest films in an innovative and imaginative programming inside a unique, cabaret style environment. You can also watch free films in London Film Festivals, take Portobello Film Festival as an example.
3. Laughter is the best medicine; and it’s better if you get it for free. Have a good laugh at free comedy events in Theatre Royal Stratford East which offers free comedy evenings on Mondays.
4. Watch theatre, the budget-friendly style. The Arcola Theatre reserve some tickets for their “Pay What You Can Afford” system, wherein they are only available at nights and you just have to expend according to your budget.

There are so much more to do in London, with or without money. The important thing is you won’t miss out on these entertainment options that will give you the time of your life.
