Hi Jessica, well done for the great article, very informative and a must read article to anyone who is visiting London for the first time. Since my travel is during winter season, do you think purchasing London Pass is worth it? Should I consider only the top attractions and purchase the tickets separately purchase online , due to the weather condition? Hi Raj, I am glad that you have found our London Pass article helpful.

Almost all the attractions in London are open year-round and a large number are open daily. The winter weather in London, although it can often be cold and rainy, rarely leads to anything being closed although you may want to focus on indoor attractions more than outdoor ones, especially if you are visiting from a warm weather country. Just be prepared by bringing along warm clothes you can layer, a hat, a pair of gloves, a coat, a rainjacket or umbrella, comfortable walking shoes, and you will be ready for winter London weather. I would of course do a bit of research to calculate if it would indeed be worth it for you.

I would also recommend checking out our London public transportation guide and our suggested 2 day and 6 day London itineraries to help you decide plan your time sightseeing in London. Wishing you a wonderful trip to London later this month and do let me know if you have any further questions! Wow, this is an amazing review of the London Pass, best I have read online! Your tips are amazing, looking forward to my trip to London and using the pass to visit so many of these great places like Windsor Castle, the Shard, and the London Zoo.

Hi Tahura, Glad you found it helpful and just let us know if you have any questions about the London Pass or your trip. Depending on how long you are in London our 6 day London itinerary may be helpful in helping you to plan your trip to London! I hope you can tell me about it.

It is obviously not included on the London Pass as it is about 2 hours driving or tour bus from London, a bit more by public transit. Thank you so much for your helpful and complete information! I tried to plan an itinerary and it looks like the following: Anything you would recommend to not miss? Hi Millie, Sounds like you have a fun trip to London planned and I think you will definitely save some money on attractions with a London Pass after looking at your drafted itinerary. Now, I do think you can see all those places, but I would suggest reorganizing the itinerary a bit. For Day 1, I would suggest going first to Windsor Castle follow the transport instructions to get free transit with your London Pass, then you do NOT need to buy a train ticket and then visiting London Zoo.

Day 2 — Today I would consider using your Thames River cruise hop-on, hop-off ticket as all these locations are walkable from the river. I would start early with the Tower of London try to arrive right when it opens or a little before — lots to see but it can get crowded , then go to the Tower Bridge exhibition, then St. Day 3 — Head to Kensington Palace in the morning so you get there around opening the park and gardens also worth wandering around and then head out to Hampton Court Palace. For your free day, those are all great places, although you should be able to get great views of Big Ben on Day 2 and might want to try doing the London Eye on the evening of Day 2 as it runs pretty late great time is a little before and during sunset.

Wow, words cannot express how really grateful I am to your reply! Thanks for your time and kindness, it is much appreciated! We are a family of five. We are traveling to London July Our children are 15 ,14 and It will be coming in the mail. Does it cover the Heathrow airport to London tube transport? Hi Laura, Sounds like you will be heading to London soon! These you can start using whenever you wish and you can add more credit to them if needed.

You can also keep them for a future trip as well. They will receive the same number of tickets that corresponds to the number of days of your London Pass so 3 paper travelcards for 3 days per child that are good for zones of London. Please also note that delivered travel cards are date stamped on issue so you should have already provided the dates for when they will be valid when you ordered them at checkout. Further credit cannot be added to the travel cards.

So you do not need to activate them but you do need to use them on the dates they are stamped. Note that if you are traveling with a year-old, they travel for free on public transport in London when traveling with an adult holding a valid Oyster Travelcard so your year-old should not need a ticket as long as you are with them and have your Oyster Card. Thank you so much for all the helpful information. Our family of four will be visiting London 29th May — 8th June, and are considering purchasing the 10 Day London Pass along with the travel cards.

Also have tickets to HP Studio and should be able to use travel cards for that transportation as well? Any advice on public transportation route to get to the HP Studio from Chelsea area? One concern we had was getting tickets to Kensington Palace as it appears online sales are getting sold out during the time of our visit. I know entry in to Kensington Palace is included but is there chance we could not get in because there are no tickets available or it is sold out?

We are also considering a day trip to Stonehenge, Bath, etc. Possibly even a day trip to Brighton? Any suggestions you have to offer would greatly appreciated. Glad you found our info on the London Pass helpful. Sounds like you will be in London for a while and the 10 Day London Pass can be a great value — the longer the duration the more you can get out of the London Passes.

For the transportation to the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio, this is just outside London but you can use an Oyster Card to pay for your travel there by train. Then a shuttle bus from Watford Junction train station is available to the attraction. Kensington Palace is not normally sold out and tickets are usually easily available at the office on most days. Over the summer months in particular, it might be wise to book an advanced ticket if you really want to visit as yes it could be sold out.

Also since you have a lot of days in London, I would try early in your trip and then if sold out, you can try booking a ticket or coming back later in your trip. You can read about our day trips to Stonehenge and Bath and our day trip to Oxford and the Cotswolds here for some general options.

Really appreciated your helpful information! Is it possible to check your balance on an Oyster Card before getting to the turnstiles? Hi Barbara, Glad this was helpful! Yes you can check the balance of a Visitor Oyster Card. If you go to a ticket machine in a tube station, if you touch your card to the yellow reader, it should give you your balance. You should also see your balance when you use the card although it flashes quickly. If you have any problems, staff members can also assist.

Enjoy your time in London. This is my first time visiting London and I am purchasing 3-day pass. Hi Kyung, You just need to order them here online and then they will either be delivered to your home or you can pick them up once you arrive in London at the pass office. They become activated on your first use you do not need to go anywhere specific for them to be activated. So the first time you visit an attraction, the London Pass 3-day time starts. Remember for the London Pass it is good for 3 consecutive days not 72 hours so start using it in the morning if you can of your first day.

For the Oyster TravelCard, you can use it at any time and it will have a set amount of credit on it and you can use that credit anytime you can also add credit to the card. Using the Oyster Card does not activate your London Pass or vice versa. So they do not have to be used together, although of course most people use them at the same time. If you have remaining credit on your Oyster card, you can keep using it or use it on a future visit to London. Hope this helps and enjoy your visit to London! We have reserved the London 3 Day pass. My question is, however, that it dies come with a hop-on hip-off pass.

If I pick up the pass early does the hop- on pass start that same day? Or, can I get the hop-on pass on the day I want to start my pass. Thank you in advance for your help.

Book With Your Explorer Pass

Hi Debbie, Yes, you can pick up the London Pass and then start using it later in the week, that is not a problem. I would however, check to make sure the ticket office is open on Easter Sunday as it is a holiday. Yes, all passes come with the hop-on, hop-off bus which is valid for 1 day. So my advice would be to just pick up the ticket the day you plan to use it in the morning and use it to get to places you want to visit with your London Pass. Hope this helps and happy travels to London!

Here is our 6 day London itinerary for those readers who are also interested in a detailed itinerary for visiting the highlights of London and have 5 days to a week in London: Thanks for all of your helpful information regarding London Pass.

I purchased the 6-day pass for myself and 14 year-old daughter. We are visiting June July 3, so I got the 6-day pass with travel since we are staying near the London City Airport and will be traveling by DLR and Tube each day into London to visit all of the attractions.

London Pass Review & Tips: Is the London Pass Worth It?

Wanted to know about discounts on tours not covered by the Pass, specifically Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes since my daughter loves both and we plan to do those tours along with many of the popular attractions covered by London Pass. We have six days in London so there should be ample enough time to get the most out of our pass.

Would you have a recommended itinerary to do all of the popular attractions within a six-day window.

Sounds like you will also be using the Oyster Card a lot as well during your visit so good that you have that sorted out as well. Just be sure to check the schedule in advance of your trip as most tours are only offered on certain days of the week so you can find one that works with your schedule. A couple other places of interest that are not covered by the pass that you might want to consider are the Sherlock Holmes Museum and the WP Studio Tour London. I do not yet have a 6-day itinerary but I am actually working on doing some itineraries in London over the summer.

But not soon enough for your visit I am afraid.

You are here

Hi Jessica, Thank you so much for your time and effort on this post. It really helped me and I bet it will continue to be on my trip! I am a solo traveller, and will be travelling to London next month, and will have two full days and a half day before my flight to another country. I have read your post in addition to others regarding the London Pass, but still am unsure of whether purchasing a London Pass and Oyster Card will be of more value to me than not purchasing one. I do want to see most of the sites included in the Pass, yet many of which I want to see are also already free.

As of the moment, what I have in mind are: I wonder if, I can do all this in two and a half days, adding the fact that I am planning to catch at least one and possibly two musicals in the evenings, and also if I would be saving some money purchasing the London Pass and the Oyster Travel Card, or perhaps only one out of the two. Your help would mean so much to me.

Hoping to hear back from you! Glad you found our article on the London Pass helpful! Now, regarding your question, first I think you need to break down what is free, what is covered by the London Pass, and what is not free but not covered by the London Pass to figure out if it is worth it or not. You can specifically go through and calculate the entry costs versus the amount for the London Pass if you wish.

Also it allow you the option to pop into other places along the route that you may not have considered and may also save you time since pass holders get fast-track entry at some of the attractions you are interested in. I would try to see all the London Pass specific places in a 2 day period and then do the rest on your half day.

You also have free access to the Hop-on, Hop-off bus for one day with the pass which should get you to any of the places you on your list, which may save you a day of not needing to use public transit depending on where you are staying. Now, whether you have time to visit all these plus the rest on your list and go to one or two musicals, I am not sure. Having a Visitor Oyster Card will definitely save you money on public transport if you plan to use it, but whether you buy the card in advance or on arrival, the prices are the same.

You can read this article for more tips on using the Oyster Card. Hi Jessica, Thank you so much for such a great post! If I purchase my London Pass in advance, can I then use it online to book attractions that require reservations? How does this work with a London Pass?

Because we are there for 7 days, we are planning to do a 7 day travel card that covers zones Of course, happy to try to help and so happy to hear that our post was helpful to you in planning your trip to London. There are a few sites where you should book in advance such as the Benjamin Franklin House and you will need to book most walking tours, bike tours, and discounted theatre tickets.

You should indeed purchase tickets in advance for Buckingham Palace if you want to tour the State Rooms they are only open for months of the year but it is not included as part of the London Pass so you will need to book those tour tickets separately.

Note that The Queens Gallery is part of the London Pass and it does not require a reservation but tickets are subject to availability so I would advise going early in morning to ensure a ticket if you are visiting it while the State Rooms are open as it is the busiest time of year for the gallery. Most people spend most of their stay within Zones so that is probably the same with you and for most things you want to see, they will be covered. Windsor Palace is outside London, but travel is free with the London Pass if you follow instructions in the guidebook and noted above in the article.

For many families the London Pass can save them money and time , but it obviously depends on where you want to go. Just let me know if you have any further questions. Do I have to pay to get the oyster card shipped to me or do I pick it up somewhere? So if you want to buy that package, you will need to purchase the London Pass with Oyster TravelCard is online in advance and have it delivered or pick it up or you can buy it in person at the London Pass Redemption Centre Desk located at 11a Charing Cross Road London.

The other option is to buy the mobile pass and then purchase the Oyster Card separately. You can read our guide to buying and using the Oyster Card if you do decide to purchase it on its own. Hello Jessica, Really great post full of important information. My son and I are going to London on April. Quick Question, is the date for the London Pass starts on our arrival day as stated in our confirmation or, its really flexible? We are not arriving to London until 8: Hi Sintha, Great glad this post helped you plan your trip to London.

The London Pass begins as soon as you first use it. So the first time you enter a museum or attraction is when your first day begins. So if you are arriving on 8PM, I would wait to use it the next day to get the most of your time. So it is flexible in that sense, but once you activate it, the time starts and the days are consecutive and cannot be split up.

Hope this helps and have a great time in London! I am excited to purchase the London pass for our first time visit later this year. I was wondering about the discounted theater tickets as one of the special offers. How far in advance can you purchase tickets, and does purchasing tickets activate your card? Hi Kristina, The London Pass is particularly great for first time visits! So for the discounted offers, these can change regularly. For the theater tickets, it depends on what shows are playing and on offer when you visit. We did not use this discount, but there were four shows discounted during our visit e.

Once you have purchased The London Pass, the included guidebook will give you a concierge phone number and email that you can use to make the bookings. I think that you could probably start booking after you have completed the purchase and received the pass although it may depend of course on the specific shows.

This should not activate your London Pass. Wishing you a fantastic trip to London! As we are coming from abroad I decide to pick them up at the store in centre of London. Now, reading the comments, I would have bought just the London Pass and left the Oyster cards and buy them once in St Pancras railway station; now the fact is done.

Can I do something to the order to cancel just the Oyster card keeping the London Pass alone, what do you suggest? Hi Dan, I am excited to hear that you are taking your family on a trip to London. I am guessing that you are reconsidering because of the limitations on the travel cards for the children? There is no way to cancel only the Oyster card portion of the order online; however, you can get your money back if you have purchased them in the past 30 days online or 12 months if you bought the protection at check-out.

Email them at info londonpass. Let them know what you previously ordered and how exactly you would like to change it. They should then process any due credit to you. Furthermore we arrive late evening at St Pancras railway station first day then I will need to buy a new Osyter card since seems to be more conveninet that individual ticleks or Travelcards hope I can buy using my International VISA credit card in Tube front desk there at: King Cross underground,station, do you know what time they close?

Glad you got in contact with them and I am sure they will refund you if you decide to do so within the 30 day limit. Pancras, there is a staffed ticket office and it is open fairly late but I would check their hours here. They can sell you tickets or Oyster cards. Most London automated machines will only take cards with chip technology now but the ticket office should be able to run most credit or debit cards.

Note that if you want to get Oyster Cards for your kids, to check the post and the TFL website for guidelines depending on your kids ages as you may want to apply for one of the child Oyster photocards. Note that the Paris Pass is a bit different as there is no travel option, the travelcard is included in all purchases. The Paris Pass comes with three separate passes plus a 1-day hop-on, hop-off bus voucher per person.

But if you are interested in all of these anyway, you will probably save time purchasing them as a bundle. However, if you only want one or two of the cards, then you are better off purchasing them separately. I will be traveling to London with my family. Total of 5 of us. I was thinking of purchasing the 3 day pass and Travel. I do have a 12 year old.

If I were to purchase the child pass with travel will I be able to add money to the child travel card? Can she use the travel card for more then 3 days? On the London Pass website it says hers is a paper travel card only good on off peak hours. Is this different then the travel card the Adults receive? Adults receive a Visitor Oyster Card to use and children age receive a paper off-peak travel card, which can be used within zones of London.

The 1 day travel cards off-peak can be used from 9. Please also note that delivered travel cards for children are date stamped on issue, so please ensure you have selected the correct start date when ordering as your travel cards will have the date you selected and must be used on these specific dates. Also, you can also not add any credit to them, so if you wanted to make additional travel, you would need to buy a ticket or new travel card. You can however, use the Oyster Cards or travel cards separately from the London Pass as using the travel cards or passes does not activate the London Passes.

Note about the Harry Potter Studio Tour — you can use your Oyster Cards to pay for that travel if you go via train to the Watford Junction station then you can catch the HP tour shuttle to the studios.
