The perfect day in LONDON | Budget vs Mid-Range vs Luxury

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.

Prefer to be in a black cab…. They know so much more about London than somebody who has got a nice car and a sat nav

[@yaowsers77]

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?

[@adamharbour111]

Why is the thumbnail $ has London changed its currency ?

[@Aditya_Atodaria]

it's a global standard nowadays regardless of the country's currency

[@adamharbour111]

Watching this from India. Felt great to see so much appreciation for Indian cuisine!

[@Runar_Oesthaug]

budget option was 12.84, not 9.84, but good tip for YMCA

[@what_im_eatin_uk]

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

[@carolinemontgomery6450]

You got a cab from Piccadilly Circus to Shaftesbury avenue?? Quicker to walk!

[@KD-fu8ob]

this is a really cool idea/video. Hope to see more.

[@O._Si]

I concur. Yes, please!

[@SarahEJewell]

Hahaha Nicky trying to convince us he's ok with the budget options :p

[@PokhrajRoy.]

It’s so nice to see Nicky and Liam again 🥰

[@O._Si]

Totally agree!

[@kevwwong]

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).

[@O._Si]

Great fun. Please do this for other cities too.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Nicky Kelvin, the man who makes our days with iconic cold opens 😂

[@egpx]

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.

[@kingsoloist]

the candy in the uber just comes off tacky..nothing elitist about it when i was expecting the lady ridnig around in a limo it'd be helpful if they can actually give us a price range that they're testing out. a couple of dollar signs doesn't tell me anything

[@luxpursuits]

$$ signs don't matter. They fudged numbers from the beginning.

[@leohoward7282]

Love the changing of the guard and Liam's tickets reduction love that too me I'd choose back to the future love that musical

[@savageZ4]

Great Video, but this is one of the few times I'm happy to live in South Africa 22 pounds for a cocktail you can buy 3 bottles of good Vodka here for that.

[@MariaCarabin]

At mid-range I would have used the tube and walked tbh! Interesting comparison though!😊

[@adamdanks18]

Idk about y'all but who the heck has $1000 a day budget when traveling?? Lol

[@well-blazeredman6187]

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.

[@jameshaddan8538]

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.

[@shereenwallace7790]

Thank you so much for such a detailed video on all budget ranges. This is giving me hope that I will be able to afford the trip I want to take! Ive bee doing research and all I get is have £195 per person per day for food and transport alone and for two weeks thats quite a bit for two people. Could you create a similar video to this for families please and thank you?

[@plane-ace]

Sorry guys but not enjoying the recent changes to the channel.

[@deroechterer5124]

Me: How british will you sound? Liam: Moment please! 😂

[@karthikkamathp]

Love that all 3 chose Indian cuisine😊

[@Zomerset]

It’s great to see a video where faces are blurred at appropriate times. This is one of my bugbears with travel vlogs.

[@hammalamiri12]

Great video but there is so much you can experience for 300 pounds then a one on one mediation session which most of it is sitting silently

[@bobgenghiskhan2499]

That's interesting. I've driven past the Indian YMCA and was curious about it. Wow. Liam must have caught a really quiet day to just walk in to Dishoom. Still yet to eat at Gymkhana

[@thomasfsc1306]

The most luxurious hotel is The Shard no doubt. Also, if you have mid-budget, it's cheaper to use the tube than cabs actually

[@shyhistorian]

The Shangri La?

[@thomasfsc1306]

@@shyhistorian yes

[@agadoin]

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.

[@hani8133]

Great video! Would love to see more videos from London.

[@angusmcneillpeel2212]

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

[@rangermaverick85]

Ever heard about luxury experience? Sometimes you want to pay to stay away from public transport, crowds and have your own private space.

[@jcgrant1234]

Been ages since Liam was in a vid...good to see he is still on the team!

[@TheLordHiggs]

Nicky already blew his budget. If his Indian costed £8 like he said. He wouldn't have been able to afford it if he had £10 because his lift scooter wouldn't have got him there for under £2.

[@TheLordHiggs]

Ohh, you got the numbers wrong after editing

[@Curlymag]

Great video and chemistry between you all! Loving Maz!

[@michelleb749]

Question- what time should we be at the barracks to see the changing of the guard?

[@Gandhi2241]

it would be fun to try this out in Mumbai, India

[@luxpursuits]

On my next trip to London, I have to try budget and mid-range Indian food

[@michelleb749]

Definitely a moderate gal.

[@CityFlyer502]

Gotta make sure to bookmark this video somewhere. Just came off my second trip to London & I definitely want to make the third trip charming. Don't know if to the tune of a few hundred pounds but definitely got some ideas off of here.

[@kenzopauwels9526]

Nice video!! 👌

[@trainsandmodelshungary]

Aaaabsolutely loved it! Finished off my birthday with watching this awesome episode with me mum, can’t waaaait to fly to London soon!

[@LadyCalverley]

I'm returning to London in mid-September (after 4 long years), and I'd already decided to try out Dishoom... but I'm defo heading to the Indian YMCA for a meal at some point! Some other great tips on this video, and entertaining and fun as always. Thanks, guys!

[@princessleia7274]

Excellent vid! Although I hate to break to you Nicky, but my little village doesn’t have a curry house! We have a dodgy Chinese and a chippy but need to drive a few miles to find an Indian restaurant (however, said Indian is one of the best curry houses in the area so no complaints there!)

[@JonnyMReck]

Don’t give the girl 1K - she’ll spend it on charcuterie boards

[@p0mep0me]

great video for my planning for the london trip at the end of the year! thanks for all the amazing recommendations :)

[@pascalbrode3206]

Great vid and an exciting and wonderful comparison😊

[@shadowtale13]

Gymkhana was the best meal I've had in my life, to be honest. Go if you get the chance!

[@Gibbs-rq4yg]

And here i think 2,30 for a pint at Mannings in Ipswich is expensive hahaha

[@TonyAHorbury]

[@mannyd.9443]

Neco Williams, is that you?

[@jauipop]

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!!

[@luxpursuits]

I would love to have your budget!
