We believe that the London Pass is a good choice for many visitors. There are many attractions to choose from, which are very expensive.
The London Pass is flexible, offers a validity of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 10 days and can be loaded directly onto the mobile phone.
Nevertheless, there are also a few disadvantages. For example, you have to take care of some reservations yourself and you don't have priority entry in high season, so you have to put up with waiting times. This results in our following rating:

Is the London Pass financially worthwhile?
An important question is whether the London Pass is financially worthwhile. To answer this question, we compare the price of the London Pass with the cost of the main attractions.
The following table contains the purchase price for the London Pass for persons aged 16 and over and for children aged between 5 and 15:
