If you're on a budget, consider concerts put on by London's specialized colleges of music, particularly during term-time.
During our week in London we enjoyed four cheap or free concerts: a Big Band concert of arrangements used by famous bands in Harlem's jazz heyday between the wars (10 GBP/8 GBP concessions), 10 flute soloists taking turns movement by movement in Baroque concertos with strings and harpsichord (free, no tickets required), piano trios by Mozart and Dvorak (10 GBP/8 GBP concessions), and another Baroque concert of works by Handel and Purcell performed by an ensemble of students from two universities (free tickets, 1.95 GBP online booking charge).
The players were very accomplished students and faculty members from the Royal Academy of Music (ram.ac.uk, near Regent's Park tube) and the Royal College of Music (rcm.ac.uk, near the V&A Museum).
