Going WAY off subject, but possibly of interest....
Some (most?) transatlantic freighters will (would?) take a limited number (4-6) of 'foot-passengers'.
You would get a (very basic) cabin, the same food as the crew, and (of course) NO entertainment would be laid on. You are a passenger, it's not a 'working passage', and is (certainly WAS) the cheapest way to cross the 'pond'....
This info goes WAY back, well before '9/11', and may no longer be current, but a friend of mine saw a deal of the world this way some years ago...
I have no idea how/where you would find out about places, as they are not generally advertised, it seems to be something where you are either 'in the know' or not...
Best of luck with getting to see London/Europe..
