Hi, I’m Joel, the mind (and wallet-watcher!) behind Budget Days Out UK.

I live in South London with my wife, E, and two beautiful children. This blog is for anyone —whether you’re flying solo, exploring as a couple, or a group — who wants to reclaim their free time from screens and experience UK without breaking the bank.

We know how tough it is to find genuinely free or budget-friendly activities in London and the surrounding areas. It takes time, persistence, and a lot of digging!

Our goal is simple: to share honest, first-hand practical tips so you can spend less money on admission fees and more time enjoying the world.
