England’s best completely free attractions revealed – from 500ft-high garden to the ‘world’s greatest museum’

AS the cost-of-living crisis continues, families may be looking for a fun day out that won't break the bank.

TripAdvisor has revealed its top attractions to visit in England completely free of charge - and it ranges from a 500ft-high garden to the so-called "museum of the world".

Natural History Museum

Science and natural history enthusiasts should look no further than the Natural History Museum.

Its dinosaur specimens and replicas are world-famous - and include part of the first Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever discovered.

The building, in South Kensington, London, is one of the city's most spectacular attractions in itself.

Although some exhibitions may have an entry fee, general admission to the museum is completely free.

Sky Garden

London's highest public garden, Sky Garden, is perched at the top of a skyscraper in the heart of the city.

On the 43rd floor of the Fenchurch Building in east London, the garden offers panoramic views of the capital from a height of over 500ft.

As well as the iconic glass-domed landscape gardens, it's got observation decks and an open-air terrace.

And, if you're willing to part with a little cash, you can even enjoy a drink or meal at one of the bars or restaurants.

Make sure to book a slot in advance to enjoy this free attraction.

The British Museum

The British Museum has one of the largest collections in the world - of eight million works - and it's totally free to access.

The museum is 271 years old and located in Bloomsbury, London.

With relics dating back 1.8 million years, it's the perfect historical day out for families.

Plus, it is set to have a huge multi-million-pound makeover soon.

The museum is a hit with visitors, with nearly 54,000 five star reviews on TripAdvisor.

The Shambles

The Shambles is a historic street in York city centre, dating back to the medieval times.

It was once a street of butchers shops - and you can still find many original 14th century buildings there.

It is Europe's most visited street.

It's just a twenty-minute walk from York Station and can be explored completely for free.

Victoria and Albert Museum

The V&A is the world's biggest museum of art and design, founded by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1852.

It's located in Kensington, London, and houses exhibitions for all ages.

From July to September, it ran a Taylor Swift exhibition, complete with 13 iconic costumes donated by the singer.

It is entirely admission free.
