How long are you planning on staying. What were you hoping your budget for the entire trip (excluding air fare) would be. What *must* you see in England. Are you traveling with friends.
You might be better off staying in one place, like London. Maybe picking one place to take a day trip out to one day. rail passes aren't exactly cheap.
You could stay in a hostel. Sometimes if you tell them you'll stay for longer than a few days, they give you a discount. My first trip to Paris I would pick up bread, cheese and fruit to keep me going during the day and have one good meal (like a big lunch) every couple of days to make sure I didn't get sick.
You might also look into student discounts while you still can.
And buy a "England on a budget" book.
Maybe some of your relatives could come to you? That would help out on traveling costs.
Definately getting England on a Budget, I love those types of books. But they always seem to give me more things to see. I will be looking into student discounts, it seems a save bet. Hostells are fine by me, but I sense problems running those by the folks. Yep I'm 20, living under her thumb.
I won't be able to ask family to come down to London, it's easier for them if I'm the one moving around. I couldn't ask them to take days off work to visit with me. And my Grandpa isn't really up to long (and I know to us it isn't long at all) trips like coming to London.
I've looked into the london underground for certain passes that I can get, and it seems the 3-day one might be the best for me. But at 36 pounds, I hope to God it's worth it. Or maybe I should just get a day pass and walk everywhere.
I'm a little too indecisive to plan this on my own I guess.
I know when i waqs in london, we got a bus tour, that included a boat tour and you saw all the key things in london. and along the way we went to pubs and such, and shopping just as we wondered. and it didn't cost all that much.

She was also says to start in Aberdeen and work my way down to London. which would kinda defeat me flying home with you.

alright, I can almost promise me not being awake during the morning rush. I think I need to write things down.
