When the pass pays off here
For this sight alone, no pass pays off: entry costs £36, a one-day London Pass £105.00.
With the journey, Windsor takes up half a day. On your Windsor day you will hardly manage enough other sights to make a London Pass day pay off. Windsor fits the Explorer Pass better, where it simply counts as one attraction: Windsor, the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey cost £105 together without a pass, the Explorer Pass for three attractions £89.00.
In the London Pass, Windsor is worth it if you buy the pass for three or more days and plan the other days in London fully.
