Can someone tell me, approximately, how much will I need to spend once I arrive in London? I'm really clueless about it. I'd like to go but I'm extremely thin on budget and I'm not even sure if I was accepted (I received nothing, but I think that even if I wasn't accepted, they'd let me know by email). I see that a 3-day InterRail ticket to England is €147, and I have no clue if it's acceptable for my budget, it all depends on how much I'm going to need in London. Feel free to get in touch by email if you think you can give me some info, or post here so others will know. I haven't ever traveled abroad alone and am 17 so I guess it's acceptable to feel a little lost. And I'm just keeping my fingers crossed to be accepted :) I probably didn't leave enough info here, so feel free to ask on clarification. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi I am in a similar situation :) We are lucky this is in London because you can take RyanAir from any city to London for about 20€. There is no other city that you can fly to for this cheap! For sleeping I'm planning to spend 2 nights in a youth hostel for 30€/night. If anyone has any ideas for tech-related things to do the day after in London let me know.

  Don't bother with a youth hostel, go on AirBnB and find yourself a nice room.

    As much as I would like to support the YC startup AirBnB, with a quick search on hostels.com I found a bed for €13/night. A similar bed on AirBnB costs €20/night. I'm not sure what price I can achieve if I find a private room that allows me to split the price with others.

      If you haven't made an account yet I could refer you to airbnb and you'll get a $25 credit. http://airbnb.ca/c/aalshurafa http://airbnb.ca/c/aalshurafa

        Thanks for the referral. The $25 credit only applies (to me or you) when I book something with over a $75 base rate. So you won't get it today but next time I go on vacation for longer you will get it.
