Can someone tell me, approximately, how much will I need to spend once I arrive in London? I'm really clueless about it. I'd like to go but I'm extremely thin on budget and I'm not even sure if I was accepted (I received nothing, but I think that even if I wasn't accepted, they'd let me know by email). I see that a 3-day InterRail ticket to England is €147, and I have no clue if it's acceptable for my budget, it all…

where are you traveling from and how long will you be staying? I'm happy to let you surf on my couch to cut costs, if need be...

contact info in my profile

Still waiting too.

ditto. It might be nice if someone who did get one could confirm that they have indeed been sent...?

Nothing so far. I think the moment they're sent there will be an item on the front page.

Hi I am in a similar situation :) We are lucky this is in London because you can take RyanAir from any city to London for about 20€. There is no other city that you can fly to for this cheap! For sleeping I'm planning to spend 2 nights in a youth hostel for 30€/night. If anyone has any ideas for tech-related things to do the day after in London let me know.

Don't bother with a youth hostel, go on AirBnB and find yourself a nice room.

Where are you travelling from?

Serbia.

As much as I would like to support the YC startup AirBnB, with a quick search on hostels.com I found a bed for €13/night. A similar bed on AirBnB costs €20/night. I'm not sure what price I can achieve if I find a private room that allows me to split the price with others.

If you haven't made an account yet I could refer you to airbnb and you'll get a $25 credit. http://airbnb.ca/c/aalshurafa

Thanks for the referral. The $25 credit only applies (to me or you) when I book something with over a $75 base rate. So you won't get it today but next time I go on vacation for longer you will get it.
