Last Updated on 13/02/2025

London Pass Guide 2025 – Is the London Pass Worth It? Here’s the conclusion: London has many free attractions, so if you’re just looking to take photos and check in at iconic landmarks, you don’t need to buy it. However, if this is your first visit to London and you’re planning to explore many attractions, then the London Pass is absolutely worth it. It covers entry to numerous major sites, such as the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye, and even Windsor Castle and several stadium tours—over 90 attractions in total. So, the real question isn’t whether to buy it, but rather how many days to buy and how much money you can save!

How Much You Can Save with London Pass?

Everyone has a different travel pace, so the best way to calculate how much you can save with the London Pass is to list the paid attractions you plan to visit and arrange them within "consecutive days". Then, based on your own pace, determine the minimum number of days needed to complete your itinerary and compare the cost with the corresponding London Pass price to see if it’s worth it.

For example, if your must-visit paid attractions include:

  • Westminster Abbey
  • St. Paul's Cathedral
  • The Shard
  • Tower Bridge (including the museum)
  • Tower of London
  • Thames River Sightseeing Cruise
  • London Eye

The total official adult ticket price for these attractions is approximately £207.80.

London Pass prices:

  • 1-day pass: £104
  • 2-day pass: £144
  • 3-day pass: £169

This means that depending on your itinerary, your potential savings would be:

  • Visiting all in 1 day → Save £103.80
  • Visiting all in 2 days → Save £63.80
  • Visiting all in 3 days → Save £38.80

Whether the London Pass is worth it depends on your schedule and energy levels. The more attractions you can visit within a shorter time, the greater the savings.


How Many Days Should I Buy with the London Pass?

The more days you purchase for the London Pass, the lower the average cost per day becomes. However, this doesn’t mean blindly buying the maximum number of days is the most cost-effective option. Many attractions in London are free, so you should plan your itinerary strategically: group paid attractions on the same days and reserve separate days for free attractions. Additionally, since the pass is valid for consecutive days, make sure to schedule all paid attractions within consecutive days to maximise its value.


How to Use the London Pass?

The London Pass is fully digital and very easy to use. After purchasing, you will receive a QR code that you can simply present to the staff for scanning when you arrive at the attractions.

Most attractions allow you to enter by scanning the code directly, but some may require advance booking (marked with "Book Early" or "Book Your Slot"). The booking process varies by attraction and may involve sending an email or filling out a form. Once your booking is complete, you will receive a confirmation reply. Bring the 12-digit code found below the QR code or order number to exchange for your tickets.
