A cheap night out in London

 

 

P=Presenter D=Dominique R=Rob

P:     ... on this week's £15 challenge. We're going to send two people out for a night in London, and their challenge is to have a good night out, but not spend more than £15. So, is it possible? Well, we're going to find out. We've asked Dominique and Rob to spend an evening in London, and not spend more than £15. So, let's speak to Dominique first. Hi. Dominique.

D:     HL George,

P:     Tell us, Dominique, what are your plans?

D:     Well, first of all, IÕm going to see a free art exhibition at the Tate Modern. I don't normally like modern art, so I hope it's OK. Then IÕm meeting some friends and we're going to a concert at a pub called The King's Head. There's a free band playing and so I only need to pay for my drinks. Afterwards weÕre having dinner in Brick Lane where there are lots of Indian restaurants. TheyÕve told me that if you go to one of the restaurants there at 10PM, you can get a free meal. I don't know if thatÕs true, but IÕm going to try anyway. Then I'm getting the bus home. A taxi is too expensive.

P:     That sounds great. Have a good evening, and you can tell us all about it tomorrow.

D:     I will.

P:     Our second volunteer is Rob. Rob, can you tell us about your evening?

R:     Yes. I'm starting the evening with a visit to a museum, too. I'm going to the National Gallery to see the paintings there. They stay open one night a week, and its free, Then IÕm going to Covent Garden to watch the street entertainers. Um... that's free, too. And after that, IÕm going to watch some comedy. There's a really good comedy club just near Covent Garden. It's £8 to get in. I'm not having dinner. There isnÕt enough time.

P:     Thanks, Rob. Enjoy your evening, and donÕt forgetÉ
