What we don't like about the Turbopass
However, there are also some arguments against the turbo pass:
- The number of services is comparatively small. Other London Passes include more attractions: the London Pass and the London Explorer Pass.
- Some top attractions are missing: for example Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, The Shard, London Eye, Madame Tussauds and London Dungeon.
- The Turbopass is most worthwhile for two to three days. The other variants are less worthwhile.
- Unfortunately, Turbopass does not grant priority entry. For most attractions you will have to queue at the box office.
Our assessment: Is the Turbopass worth it?
