Tomorrow I am going to be in London from 1pm until 9am the next morning. I've never been before and don't got alot of money. How do I best maximize the little time that I have there (stuff to see, etc.)?

Thanks!

I already got booked at a hostile by Picadilly Circus, costs 15 pounds. I'll have about 50 pounds after that, but considering I gotta get from Stanswick? to London and then to Heathrow the next morning that doesn't leave me with much.

In other word no budget...

well first get a travel card. You won't get one for 2 days though....

You'll want one for zones 1 to 3 which will cover the main areas for museums and galleries....

to get to Heathrow you'll want to take the tube....don't do the Heathrow express...too expensive...

to be honest the best thing is look for free stuff in the day and see if there is anything free in the evening....

museums are always good for saving money(science museum, natural history museum). art galleries(the tate, tate modern), just wandering around westminster.

your first stop should be a cash machine....£50 isnt much
