I might, might, might have funds to do a youth-hostel, red-eye, no-frills visit to someplace foreign.
And since I've already been to the other cultural capitals on my bucket list (Paris, Rome), I'm might try London, in the fall. It'll be nice to visit someplace where I can speak something like the native language. 
I haven't traveled by air in ages (and to Europe in about 30 years).
How do I get a cheap flight? Can I still bring my own food on the plane now?

I'm assuming you're in the US. The most competitive transatlantic airline is Norwegian, who are a no frills airline that offer very cheap tickets. Occasionally they offer sales. For example, I've seen one way tickets from San Francisco Oakland Airport to London Gatwick for as low as $69. Currently, the October price on that route is $164, which is still pretty good.

London is a very cool city just to walk around. If you're on a budget, there are plenty of museums, parks, and sites you can enjoy for free. Recommended.

Oh, my $69 is worth pursuing. I'll try Norwegian.
Thanks, Litefoot.

If you book your London trip to coincide with the Williams concert on October 26th, you might run into a lot of fellow film music fans, including yours truly.
Not sure exactly when I'll go, Thor.
When I stayed in the youth hostel in Boston, I ran into JW there. If it happens again in London, I don't want him to think I'm stalking him.

I'm glad to see I can rent a bike at public stations in London. I sure got tired of ankling it on these trips.
Do they have health food stores in England?

You get a dollop of peas with your fish and chips.

Type BARRETT AND HOLLAND LONDON LOCATIONS in google. There's tons, apparently.
But pie shops will be better for you. Honest.
Bob over to Greenwich and see The Cutty Sark, there's also a nice park, Greenwich Observatory, and a great pie and mash place there called Goddards of Greenwich.

Holland & Barratt, Wanderer - you’ve been away too long!
But good call on Greenwich and the Cutty Sark.
To be honest, i always walked past it holding a chip butty.

Yeah could also google Spencer and Marks, general and legal, and Ramsden Harry. 
Do you really want to go to London?
If you are going to come to england stay in somewhere nice like Bath or at the south coast. London is such a shithole now, dib. And anyone not used to all the dangers of cycling on london's roads shouldnt attempt it unless they have a death wish and want to see how long you can lay in a hospital corridor with your leg hanging off.

I'll start a list of inexpensive places to visit. Thanks for adding to it, TW!
