London is one of the most stunning cities in the world, but it can be tough to explore on a budget. That’s where a National Trust membership comes in. For just £3.80 a month for 18 to 25 year olds and £7.60 for those 26 and older, you can gain access to some of the most incredible locations in the capital, as well as 500 other spots across the UK. And if you’re in a couple, you can both get memberships for just £6.60 each. With summer right around the corner, this is the perfect investment for some memorable hot weather day dates.
One of the beautiful spots you can visit with your National Trust membership is Fenton House and Gardens in Hampstead. Explore this 17th-century house and marvel at its unique collections of ceramics, needlework, paintings, and early keyboard instruments. Or simply enjoy a summer’s day in the tree-filled gardens.
Located on Homerton High Street, Sutton House and Breaker’s Yard in East London is another gem. This Tudor house, built in 1535, offers free exhibitions for you to enjoy. Take a step back in time and immerse yourself in the history of this fascinating place.
If you’re willing to venture a bit further out, Claremont Landscape Garden in Surrey is well worth the trip. This grade 1 listed garden was created by renowned landscape designers of the 18th-century. Bask in the hot weather as you have a picnic by the man-made lake or even rent a boat for a leisurely ride on the water.
Not only does a National Trust membership grant you free access to 500 locations across the UK, but it also includes free parking at most National Trust car parks. You’ll also receive a National Trust handbook and a magazine three times a year. But the best part is that your membership fee goes towards preserving these incredible sites for future generations to enjoy. Every penny counts in maintaining the nature, beauty, and history of these places.
And if all that wasn’t enough, if you sign up for an annual Direct Debit, you’ll receive a £15 National Trust gift card. It’s time to treat yourself and make the most of this unbeatable offer.
