Planning a trip to see London we will realize that it is not a cheap city, so everything we can save during the stay is always welcome.
One of the possibilities at our disposal to spend less is the London Pass, which allows free and skip-the-line access to more than sixty attractions in the British capital., including the Thames cruise, Westminster Abbey or the Tower of London, among many others. How to get it? We'll tell you then?
What is the London Pass?
It is a card that includes a public transport voucher to travel for free and a voucher to visit tourist attractions in London, which also allows you to get an audio guide and a paper guide in Spanish to know in detail the history and curiosities of all the monuments as well as other information of interest regarding the hours and directions.
How It Works
Once you have bought it, you just have to show it at the entrance of the included attractions, without having to pay anything more and without waiting in queues, something that in high season can save you a wait of hours.
The London Pass card is activated the first time it is used, either on public transport or at a tourist attraction and it will be valid on the consecutive days that your purchase is recorded but the pass can only be used once at each monument.
What is the price of the London Pass?
Depending on the age and the days chosen (1, 2, 3, 6 or 10) the prices of the London Pass are different. There are passes for adults and for children (between 5 and 15 years old). It should be borne in mind that in London, children under 11 years old do not pay a ticket on public transport if they are accompanied by an adult who has the Oyster Card.

How much can you save with the London Pass?
You start saving when you visit the first two attractions and the more you see, the more you save. It also depends on the duration of the trip, the more days the greater the savings. However, the 10-day card is the one that allows the greatest savings.
What are the normal costs of the attractions?
Ticket prices for the monuments vary and range from £ 2 to £ 20.00.
When to book the London Pass card?
It is best to book as soon as possible to guarantee availability, especially on holidays and long weekends. After purchasing the London Pass, you have 12 months to activate it.
With the card they will send you a guide that has more than 160 pages describing the address, how to get there, contact, hours and website of each attraction so that you can plan the trip in the best possible way.
Where to buy the London Pass?
This card can be purchased in London or online. In the first case, it can be purchased at any London tourist information center and at airports without the Travel option. If you choose the second option, you can ask to have it sent home paying the shipping costs or pick it up as soon as you arrive in town. If you prefer to pick it up there, go to The London Pass Redemption Desk, 11a Charing Cross Road, London WC2H 0EP, with Leicester Square being the closest stop.
