How the London Pass works

The London Pass® is Go City’s all-inclusive pass. You pay once for a set number of days, and in that time you can visit as many attractions in the programme as you can manage, each of them once. That includes the big names such as the Tower of London, London Eye, The Shard, Madame Tussauds and Westminster Abbey, but also Kew Gardens, London Zoo, HMS Belfast, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich and a half-day tour to Stonehenge.

It starts at your first visit

After you buy, the pass appears in the Go City app. It only starts when you have it scanned at your first attraction. From then on it counts calendar days: a 3-day pass that you start on Monday afternoon is valid until Wednesday evening. The Monday counts as a full day even though it is half over. If you start in the afternoon, you lose half a day.

How it differs from the Explorer Pass

Go City sells a second pass in London, the London Explorer Pass. With that one you pay for 2 to 7 attractions and have 30 days to use them. Almost all the well-known sights are in both passes, including Windsor Castle and the London Eye. Only the London Pass has the Stonehenge tour and some food and day-trip options, among others. The London Pass pays off if you pack lots of sights into a few days. The Explorer Pass pays off if you pick a few highlights and want to take your time. Both side by side

Every option from 1 to 10 days

Adults aged 16 and over pay the adult price, children aged 5 to 15 the child price. Children under 5 do not need a pass.

Where you need to book a time slot

At some attractions the pass alone is not enough. After you buy, you book a time slot in the Go City app.

  • London Eye: booking required, available from about 15 days ahead. Book early in the school holidays.
  • The Shard, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey and Madame Tussauds: booking required.
  • Tower of London, St Paul’s Cathedral and Windsor Castle: no booking, you show the pass at the entrance.
Planning tip

Put the sights that need a booking at fixed times and fill the gaps with attractions that do not.

The case for and against the London Pass

The pass only saves money if your schedule is full enough.

In favour of the pass

  • The largest programme of all London passes, with the Tower, London Eye, The Shard, Westminster Abbey and Windsor in one pass
  • The Big Bus tour and Thames boats are in the programme and take you between sights
  • As many entries per day as you like. If you decide on something extra on the spot, you pay nothing more
  • Bought directly, it is fully refundable for 90 days as long as you have not activated it

What speaks against the pass

  • With one or two attractions a day you pay more than with single tickets
  • The days run consecutively. A rest day or a rainy day in the hotel still counts
  • The Tube, regular buses and trains are not included, not even the trip to Windsor
  • If you only plan a few highlights, the Explorer Pass or single tickets cost less
  • You still have to book time slots for the London Eye, The Shard and Westminster Abbey

Work out your own plans

Four trips worked out

Who the London Pass suits

Three typical trips and the pass length that fits each.

First time in London

Usually fits: 3 days, £199.00

The Tower of London, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s, The Shard, a Big Bus ticket and a Thames boat cost £248 together if you buy them separately. With the 3-day pass you pay £49 less, and every extra sight costs nothing more.

Family with children

Often fits: 3 or 4 days, or the Explorer Pass instead

Children aged 5 to 15 pay the child price; younger children do not need a pass. Two adults and two children pay £628 in total for three days. With children you rarely manage more than two sights a day. Then the Explorer Pass with four or five attractions is often cheaper. London with kids

Seeing a lot in five to seven days

Usually fits: 5 to 7 days

With the 5-day pass, each day costs £49.00. That is less than the Big Bus ticket alone, which costs £56 on its own. More days leave time for trips out to Windsor, Hampton Court or the Stonehenge tour.

From purchase to your first entry

Buy online

Choose the number of days on londonpass.com and enter the code LONDONCP05LP in the basket. It takes 5% off the price.

Load the pass into the app

After you buy, you get a confirmation email. Log in to the Go City app and you will find the pass with a QR code there. This is also where you book time slots for the London Eye, The Shard and the rest.

Scan at the entrance

The pass is activated on your first visit. From that day, the calendar days you bought start running, including days when you do not visit anything.

London Pass questions

Do the days have to be consecutive?

Yes. The days you buy are consecutive calendar days, counted from your first visit. A 3-day pass that you start on Monday is valid up to and including Wednesday. A free day in between does not extend it. If you want to plan breaks, look at the Explorer Pass, which gives you 30 days.

When does the pass start?

With the first scan at an attraction, not when you buy it. Until then the pass is not active, and if you bought it directly you can return it for a full refund within 90 days of purchase.

Is Windsor Castle included?

Yes, entry is included in the London Pass, and you can also choose Windsor with the Explorer Pass. Without a pass it costs £36. You pay for the train to Windsor separately. Allow at least half a day.

Do I also need an Oyster Card?

For the Tube and regular buses you need a separate ticket; the London Pass does not include public transport. The easiest way is to pay contactless with a card or phone. It costs the same as with an Oyster Card, and a daily cap limits what you pay.

London Pass and Oyster Card

Can I cancel the London Pass for free?

If you bought it directly from Go City: yes, within 90 days of purchase with a full refund, as long as the pass is not activated. If you bought it through Headout, Tiqets or GetYourGuide, their rules apply.

Which attractions need a booking?

The London Eye, The Shard, Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey and Madame Tussauds. You book the time slots in the Go City app after you buy, the London Eye about 15 days ahead. The Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral do not need a booking.

What do children pay?

Children aged 5 to 15 pay the child price: £115.00 instead of £199.00 for the 3-day pass. Children under 5 do not need a pass. From 16, the adult price applies.

All child prices

Is there a guarantee that I will save?

Go City advertises a savings guarantee: if single tickets would have cost you less, you can claim back the difference. The exact terms are on Go City’s site. Do not rely on it alone; work it out beforehand with the calculator.

How is it different from the Explorer Pass?

With the London Pass you pay for days and visit as many attractions as you like in that time. With the Explorer Pass you pay for 2 to 7 attractions and have 30 days. With three or more sights a day the London Pass usually comes out ahead; with a few firmly planned highlights, the Explorer Pass does.
