Tip 42: Secret bar in South Bank

South Bank is great; but it can be difficult to find a good bar without having to walk some distance.

Introducing: The Drawing Room.

This secret bar is tucked away behind a inconspicuous bookcase in Benugo (which is inside the British Film Institute).

It serves beer, wine, cocktails and snacks.

It is a nice hide-away from the bustle of South Bank.

Tip 41: Visit the Tower of London for £1!

Are you a resident of Tower Hamlets or know someone who is? If so, a visit to the Tower of London may be on the cards...

Firstly, skip along to your local library and sign up to become a member for free (!) Next, grab your shiny new library card and latest utility bill or bank statement with proof of address, and you can gain entry to the Tower of London for a measly £1!

General admission to the Tower of London is usually £24.50 so this hefty saving is definitely worth joining the library for! (Plus you can stock up on some books for summer reading in the fields).

Tip 40: A trip to the Globe for a fiver

The (snow) Globe. Watching a modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliette while is snowed.

Watching a live performance at Shakspeare's Globe on the South Bank is a proper London experience and leaves you feeling very cultured and well educated.

Ticket prices can be a little on the pricey side, especially as you'll only understand every 5th word. However, there are 700 £5 standing tickets in the yard for every performance. Benefits of standing include being able to get really close to the stage and feeling like you're part of a "gang of porters and carters" in the early 1600s.

Things to note:

• The standing area isn't covered so make sure you check the weather before you go as you will be at the mercy of the elements and umbrella's are a no-no.
• Make sure you arrive about 30minutes before the start so you can get yourself a ticket (if you don't want to get one online)

• When buying a ticket online, select the YARD when selecting seats.
