  • What's up? I'm Marko. I'm Alex. And we are the Vagabrothers.

  • And these are the top 10 FREE things to do in London.

  • London is a great city, but an expensive one.

  • But don't worry! There's still tons of free things to see and do.

  • For this video we've teamed up with Twenty Something London.

  • A website about London, by Londoners, to bring you guys the 10 best FREE activities in the city.

  • Let's go check it out!

  • Start off in the heart of London, in Trafalgar Square, at the National Portrait Gallery.

  • The National Gallery has one of the best collections of European art in the world.

  • Plus, it's walking distance from London landmarks, like Trafalgar Square, The Mall, and Buckingham Palace.

  • Number 2, the Victoria and Albert Museum, one of the foremost museums of design.

  • The V & A includes various art-forms from around the world, from sculptures to fashion, ceramics to jewelry, from the middle-ages to the modern era.

  • If you prefer the sciences to the arts, head down Museum Lane to the Science Museum.

  • Seven storeys of hands-on exhibitions that take you from the Industrial Revolution to the Space Age.

  • On the banks of the River Thames you can't miss the Tate Modern.

  • A superb collection of Modern Art housed in a former power station, including works from Dali, Picasso, Rothko and more.

  • But our favourite is the British Museum.

  • A dream for anybody interested in ancient civilisations.

  • It's home to the Rosetta Stone and other priceless treasures of Antiquity.

  • The best of the world under one roof.

  • Don't just stick to the mega-museums.

  • Seek out smaller galleries, starting with Gasworks which hosts rotating residencies for international artists who often open up their studios to the public.

  • On Brick Lane, drop into Stolen Space, an urban art gallery founded by London zone street artist D*Face.

  • Spend the rest of your afternoon lounging in one of London's many parks.

  • The Inner Circle at Regent's Park is one of the great free open spaces in the city, perfect for a picnic, reading a book or just chilling out.

  • At some point you have to spend some time looking over the Thames.

  • Forget the London Eye, it's overpriced.

  • Enjoy the view from the comfort of a pub like the Mayflower.

  • The pints aren't free, but it's worth the price.

  • When night falls, don't get caught paying for cover in some fancy London club.

  • Head to a place like Venn St Records.

  • A chilled music bar, with good vibes, affordable drinks and live music 7 nights a week.

  • So hope you enjoyed that list.
