This is I believe the best invention for the London traveler. It is a way to save money as well as give you an upper hand to London sights. Whether you want a 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, or 6 day pass, you will have the closest thing to the key to the city of London! Established in 1999, The London Pass is a sightseeing city card helping visitors make the most of their trip, saving them both time and money. The London Pass gives you entry to a choice of over 60 popular tourist attractions in the city. Available for either 1, 2, 3 or 6 days, it makes sightseeing easy and affordable by giving you access to top sights in the city with one card. Save time, save money, save stress. Sightseeing Made Easy With the London Pass you don’t have to queue to buy tickets, or stand in line to get into the attraction. The London Pass acts as your ticket into every one of the 60 attractions included. It saves the hassle of carrying around cash for tickets and allows you to budget your spending as you’ve already made the one-off payment. As well as this, you can feel like a VIP with the London Pass as you are granted Fast Track Entry into a handful of London’s most popular attractions. How do you activate The London Pass? The London Pass is available for 1, 2, 3 or 6 days – so choose the duration of Pass that best matches your trip. Your London Pass is valid for use on consecutive days for the duration you have selected and is activated upon entry at your first attraction, through a bar code recognition system. So if you have bought your pass and selected an estimated start date, the pass won’t actually be activated until you scan it through at an attraction. This benefit allows you to purchase up to 12 months in advance – giving you plenty of time to plan your trip before you arrive! Note: if you have a London Pass with Travel the travelcard will be activated from the date selected at purchase.* When does The London Pass expire? Your pass will automatically expire at the end of your validity period, after your pass duration (i.e. 1, 2, 3 or 6 days) has lapsed. Once your pass duration has expired the card will stop working and will not allow you access to attractions. The London Pass is also subject to a “purse value” of maximum gate prices related to the number of days. For example, with a one day adult pass you can visit up to £90 worth of attractions. Once you have reached your “purse value” for the total duration of your pass, the pass will also expire. Note: Passes can only be used at each attraction once. Here is a complete breakdown of purse values. For example; with a 6 day adult London Pass (online price: £108) you get a whopping £540 worth of attraction entry! Fast Track Entry Want that VIP feel? Another great benefit of the London Pass is that it allows you to skip frustrating queues at a number of attractions. Simply look for the London Pass signs and show the attendant your London Pass. Add on a Travelcard… For the complete sightseeing package opt for The London Pass with Travel. This includes free and unlimited travel across zones 1 – 6 and if you get a 6 day pass you get an extra day travel for free and can use the ticket at any time of the day! Your Travelcard will be stamped with the start date that you specify at purchase. Just like your London Pass, the Travelcard is valid for consecutive calendar days only. *Be aware that your travelcard will start working from the date pre-selected, but your London Pass will only become activated at an attraction for the first time. If you get your London Pass and Travelcard sent to your home address before you fly, you can even use the Travelcard to get from the airport into the city centre on the tube from Heathrow or City airport. It couldn’t be more easy… When you order your London Pass, you have the option to have the Pass shipped to you or you can pick it up at the collection center when you get to London (pictured right).
