Freud Museum London — the final home of the world-renowned psychoanalyst. Museum of Brands — a trip down memory lane for fans of everyday advertising and products.

These are all detailed on the site and in the guidebook which comes with the pass. Check out the official London Pass site for a full list. It is also useful to know which famous London attractions are not included in the London Pass scheme.
Some visitors have felt let down that this city pass does not include every single tourist attraction in London. The London Eye — the massive observation wheel close by to Big Ben. Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament — you can book guided tours inside this iconic landmark. The pass will include an audio tour in some of the museums. With this one you get to chose which attractions you add to the card for the ultimate time and money-saving combo!
There is a Sightseeing Bus Tour and a River Cruise are included in the card, but they are just valid for 1 day each. Plus they might not stop close to where your accommodation.
Taking taxis can soon become expensive in London so using the comprehensive local public transport network is the way to go. Buy your London Pass now! You can buy the London Pass online in advance of your trip or purchase one when you arrive in London.
The easiest way is to use the smartphone app version and simply download it before you arrive. You can also purchase the London Pass on the spot at this address and a few other selected outlets across the city. Here are my Pro Tips to help improve your London sightseeing experience.
Always check the opening hours of the places you want to visit ahead of turning up at the gate. A bit time spent doing this can save mega headaches during your stay. The earlier you can start your days of sightseeing the better to avoid being caught out at your last attraction.
Some places, like The View From The Shard, are open later into the evening so try and leave those until later for maximum pass value. Along with the scones and clotted cream! Any discounts you can get are worth looking into. It is a great tool to see some of the most important and popular sites at a discount.
Combine that with the fact that you get quick entry to many of these locations, and it really is worth every cent! We already bought one for our trip. Once you add up the things you want to see, it made sense to get the pass. Thanks for the review. Well done Kim! Have fun! London is fantastic. London is expensive but so fun — definitely something worth putting on your bucketlist. I absolutely agree with you. You can find some great local places.
The prices are cheaper and the atmosphere is often a even more fun! Been to London a few times but never purchased London Pass. If you plan to see more than a couple of the major attractions, the pass is totally worth it.
Next time you go, I highly recommend at least a 2-day pass. London, my most favorite city in the whole wide world We will be there again in November, and Federico is already excited.. We were supposed to visit last month as my niece had a baby, but we ended up having guests here at the same time.
I never get tired of visiting…the pass is definitely worth it. I usually get passes in big cities for museum entries especially, and l always keep our Oyster cards for top ups. I love that place. I visit London often because my best friend is English and lives in London. Beautiful pic of Windsor Castle! London is a great city. Maybe when my daughter is a little older. Not sure if a 7 hr flight is smart with a 1yo. Yeah, we are waiting to bring out children there for a few more years as well.
Victoria and I would like to go to Europe in if our travel hacking all works out. London is one place we are considering. Victoria and I like to spend a lot of time at each attraction, so it may not be right for us the first time we go.
London is awesome! If it is your first time to Europe, I would definitely recommend London. You speak the language. It is easy to get around. And we share a common history, so it is easy to relate. However, the pass is multi-day pass is totally worth it if you go want to see more than one place a day. Love the pics — makes me want to head over to LAX and take the next flight to London. They would really enjoy it.
We are going to wait a few more years so that they can appreciate it more. I want to go to London SO bad! London is fantastic! It is easy to get around and there is no language barrier, obviously. The castles, the history, the pageantry…I just love that place! Great tips! Totally agree with you on the pass being worth it!
Fun for the whole family! This is an awesome post. Working on paying off debt with barely any income to do so. For us, that is obviously travel. For now, just finding a couple ways to make extra money. So far it looks like it is heading in the right direction. I was surprised to see just how many attractions are included on the pass!
That is incredible. With that many, any other business would be crazy not to join in as well because of how easy it would be and cheaper to visit a competitor. London is one of the places I want to visit. I think everything I want to see and experience is right there! I look forward to the day when I visit London. Now, it feels like I wanna live there! I could totally live in London! It is a magnificent town. We also love to hang out at the Princess Diana Memorial Playground. One of the best free things to do with kids in London.
I checked that out as well. Looks like another good option. It appears that you need to use the National Rail system as well. That being said, it would certainly be something to consider — especially if you want to stay in Central London only. Thanks for adding to the conversation! Bookmarked for future planning.
We just bought 10 day London Passes with Osyter cards for our trip this September. I had them shipped to us and the book and the app is very informative! As far as I know, you do not need to pre-book any of the attractions, including the stadium tours and the river cruise.
Totally agree! Love the London Pass. The Travel option is a Oyster Travelcard that comes pre-loaded with money to cover fares. The longer the duration, the more money comes pre-loaded on the Oyster Travelcard. Crudely speaking the Oyster Travelcard comes pre-loaded with enough cash to cover unlimited travel on public transport in the centre of London zones 1 and 2 for the number of days you have purchased.
If you travel outside central London zones 1 and 2 , perhaps to Hampton Court or Heathrow Airport, you may have to top up the Oyster Card with more cash, which is very easy to do at any Underground Station. If you are staying in London more than 5 days, normally it will be cheaper to load a 7 day Travelcard onto the Oyster - this is only possible on the standard Oyster, not the Oyster Travelcard that comes with the London Pass. Children under 11 travel free on buses and the Underground in London without a ticket but not on the train to Windsor or Hampton Court.
Up to four under 11s can travel for free on public transport when travelling with an Adult holding a valid Oyster Travelcard. Children 15 year old get a child off peak Travelcard with the London Pass transport package, not an Oyster, you can use the Travelcard on the same public transport as the Oyster. Off peak means you cannot travel before 9.
However, with the London Pass you get tickets for the train between London's Paddington Station and Windsor Central Station, located directly opposite Windsor Castle, but only if you purchase the travel option with the London Pass.
Perhaps the finest way to get orientated with London and efficiently up to speed on where everything is in London are the hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour buses. The London Pass comes with a ticket for the Golden Tours hop-on, hop-off bus on the first day of using the London Pass.
Golden Tours hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus - full details. This River Bus service stops at world-famous London landmarks every 20 minutes making sightseeing super easy. One of the main attractions of the London Pass to many people is that some of the admittances covered give you fast track, skip the line entrance.
However, due to the Coronavirus Pandemic some venues now require you to pre-book your tickets and entry in advance. In the past attractions with fast-track have included Tower Bridge Exhibition , St.
It is best to check beforehand with the attraction on their own current rules to avoid disappointment. To help you plan your sightseeing adventure each pass comes with a full colour, informative, comprehensive page guidebook. This guide is packed full of information about all of our participating attractions in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese.
There are also special offers and discounts for a range of things in London. Every little helps. That's the million dollar question, and there is no universal answer. For some it works financially, for others it doesn't. This is my understanding - basically it is a coupon as in the States. You can use the coupons if you travel in trains; I guess it is a way to promote business by the train company. At the attractions, you will need to wait in line like others to buy discounted tickets with the vouchers; you also need to show eligibility by showing your train ticket, travel card, etc it seems the rule is super complicated on what is acceptable and what not, and different attractions seem to have different rules on accepting which proofs.
London pass seems to be costing more, but can skip lines. I guess that is the big advantage to me - saving precious time. In addition I read somewhere stating : buying attraction tickets at Victoria station. What does it mean? It seems there are many channels one can buy attraction tickets from.
You could probaly have bought all your tickets by now for the attractions you want to see, saving even more time. If you tell us which attractions you are interested in, people can then advise if its worth the huge expense of a London Pass? London Pass costs a lot more because you are effectively prepaying for attractions- many of which you may not wish to go to otherwise- and there are plenty of free attractions with which by definition it can't help.
The skipping of lines is overstated - it does not help once you are inside the Tower for example and lines are rarely long enough to make skipping them a huge advantage. Others have reported that it has not helped at all in fact.
The advantage of the is that you are not penalised if you do not use them - since you only use a voucher for the ones you want. As far as the goes all you need is a travelcard 1 or 7 day issued by a rail operator on paper, usually from a rail station ticket office. This will be for all your tube and bus travel. These are plentiful and attached to tube stations so easy to find.
That and your voucher which you can either print off or get in booklets at stations once here. And that's it. I don't understand what you are asking here. You obviously buy tickets forattractions at their ticket offices. It is up to you but the LP represents poor value for money,does not help significantly with lines, and forces people to go round to some questionable attractions at a stupid pace and probably miss out on better ones for the sake of going to a rail station to pick up the paper travelcard.
There's no point in buying any tickets in advance, online, before you come to London.
