Our Great Day Out guide to London's free summer attractions!

Our return travel deals to London drop you right in the heart of the capital, there’s no need to use the tube! Explore on foot, take a pack up and make the most of all the fantastically free attractions in this incredible city!

Trafalgar Square is an iconic sightseeing spot in itself but couple this with a visit to the free-to-enter National Gallery and you’re on to a picture-perfect day out! For a limited time only, The National Gallery are hosting a special Picasso exhibition featuring unique items in the gallery shop that complement the abstract collection.

Get interactive at Covent Garden this summer with their free Disney Takeover! Follow the enchanting trail through Frozen, Beauty and The Beast, The Lion King and Mary Poppins with your camera at the ready to capture your magical moments!

Be prepared for music with a difference at St Martin in the Fields with a free choral performance every Thursday lunchtime at 1pm. This summer, St. Martin's Voices will be exploring the meaning behind the music with themes ranging from Blessings to Musicals (including Joseph and Jesus Christ Superstar)!

Green spaces in the heart of this global city are such an English treat. From St. James's Park you can enjoy views that stretch from Buckingham Palace to The London Eye, with a tranquil lake, fountain and resident pelicans in between! Perhaps treat yourself to coffee on the roof terrace of the park's café to see things from a different perspective. A thoughtful wander across The Mall gives you the chance to reflect on the war memorials dotted along the walkways within Green Park too.

Somerset House, on the banks of The Thames, is renowned for fascinating exhibitions and exciting seasonal events. Free and intriguing exhibitions this summer include Eternally Yours exploring ideas around repair, care and healing and Swimmers Limb which explores the role of pleasure in creative work.

London is full of exciting ideas but sometimes we forget that we can still be a tourist in England. You can simply spend time enjoying the amazing architecture across the city. When was the last time you saw Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster’s historical landmarks, Horseguards Parade or Trafalgar Square up-close?
