The London Pass®: 100+ Attractions including London Eye

You can see London at pass speed. With the London Pass Plus (100+ attractions on one digital pass), your days feel less like ticket math and more like walking from one wow to the next.

I especially like how the pass covers big names without turning every stop into a separate purchase. And I also like that you get more than museums, with included tours and transport like a 2-Day Hop-on Hop-off London Bus Tour and an Uber Boat by Thames Clippers hop-on hop-off day.

One thing to watch: the pass is credits-based, so if you wait too long for the most popular timed entries, you can hit reservation limits or cutoffs (some attractions only accept entries up to certain times).

Key things to know before you go

• Instant entry by QR code at gates and ticket offices, so you spend less time queue hunting.
• 100+ included attractions that mix landmarks, museums, tours, and family stops.
• Buses and river transport included, which helps you stitch together far-apart neighborhoods.
• Reservations can still be needed at some of the popular sites, so plan early.
• Your pass activates on first use, then runs for the consecutive days you bought.
• Check time rules because a few venues have entry windows.

How the London Pass Plus changes your London day

London can feel like two trips at once. There is the sightseeing you planned. Then there are the lines, ticket booths, and last-minute sold-out tickets that show up like homework.

The London Pass Plus is built to reduce that stress. You pay for a bundle, then use your digital pass as your “ticket” for participating sights. When a venue scans your pass at the gate, you’re in the right line, without doing a separate transaction on the spot.

The best part is what the pass encourages you to do. You stop thinking, Should I really pay for this? and start thinking, Does this fit my day? That mindset shift matters when you want to cover a lot of London without turning every hour into decision fatigue.

Price and value: is $133 per person actually a deal?

At $133 per person for the London Pass (with 1 to 10 day options), the value comes from how many included entries you actually use. The pass advertises savings up to 50 percent versus buying attraction tickets individually, and that math usually works when you hit several major sights plus a couple of extras like a bus tour or a guided experience.

Your job is simple: plan for at least a handful of the pricier, high-demand sites, then fill in with museums and specialty stops. If you only visit one or two included attractions, you might not get the “bundle effect.” But if you’re doing a classic London highlight run plus a few side quests, the pass can feel like it pays for itself fast.

The headline attractions you can build around

The London Pass Plus includes a stack of top-tier stops that are famous for a reason. Here are the ones that are most useful for planning because they anchor multiple kinds of sightseeing.

Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and the Thames icons

If you want a day that feels like London from a postcard, start with the Tower of London and the nearby river sights. The pass lists Tower of London and Tower Bridge among the included attractions. Pairing these together works because they’re close to each other and connected by the same Thames energy.

Also, Tower Bridge is one of those landmarks that’s worth your attention even if you’ve seen photos. Seeing it in real light and real scale is different, and it’s also a convenient waypoint for moving between east and central London.

London Eye and the Shard for skyline time

The pass includes The Lastminute.com London Eye and The View from the Shard. These are your “vertical views” stops, and they’re ideal for two different pacing styles. The London Eye is a classic slow panorama. The Shard is a high, sharp view that can feel extra dramatic if you choose a clear day.

One pro tip: don’t pack these both at the last minute. Choose one for your best daylight window, then plan the other around dinner or a later evening slot if the venue timing allows. The pass rules are straightforward, but your day can still go sideways if you rush.

Westminster Abbey as a core history anchor

Westminster Abbey is another included must-see. If you’re planning a central London loop, this is one of your best anchors because it sits in the thick of the sights you’ll want to do anyway.

A good strategy is to build the day around Westminster, then add nearby museums or viewpoints to “top off” your route. You’ll move less back and forth, and you’ll spend more time walking London, not commuting across it.

Bus and river rides that make sightseeing feel easier

Public transit in London is solid, but when you have a pass, transport can either help you or complicate your plan. The London Pass Plus helps because it includes transport that maps naturally onto tourist zones.

Big Bus Tours: a 2-Day Hop-on Hop-off plan

The pass includes a 2-Day Hop-on Hop-off London Bus Tour (Big Bus Tours). This is helpful for two reasons.

First, it acts like a moving orientation map. When you’re not sure where everything is, hop on, listen to the commentary, and get your bearings fast.

Second, it gives you a low-stress way to reposition yourself without constantly checking train routes. You can see your next stop, then hop off when it makes sense.

A small realism check: this is hop-on hop-off, not express. In practice, some routes take longer to cycle than you might expect. So aim to use the bus as a connector, not a promise that you’ll magically hit every scheduled time slot.

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers: one day of hop-on hop-off

The pass includes Uber Boat by Thames Clippers – 1-day Hop-on Hop-off. If you like photos and want a calmer way to move between sights, the Thames boat is a great trade for sitting in traffic.

Also, river rides help you link neighborhoods in a way that feels “London,” not just “transport.” You’re doing sightseeing while you travel.

Royal castles and royal-adjacent days

If you want at least one big royal stop, the London Pass Plus sets you up with Windsor Castle. It also lists Hampton Court Palace as included, plus other royal-linked sites like Kensington Palace.

Windsor is worth treating as a half-day or full-day commitment. It’s outside central London, so it’s best when you plan around it instead of trying to squeeze it between central museums.

Hampton Court Palace is a different kind of day. It gives you palace sightseeing with a historical and scenic feel, and it’s a strong “change of pace” from the dense central core. If your trip is short, you’ll often get more satisfaction by choosing one major palace day rather than trying to do several.

Museums and galleries that pair well with walkable routes

The London Pass Plus includes an impressive range of museum experiences, which matters because museums can be your “weather plan.”

Here are several included options from the pass list that make planning easier:

• The London Transport Museum for a fun history-meets-design stop
• Kew Gardens when you want time outdoors and one of the more relaxed pacing breaks
• Charles Dickens Museum for literary London
• The Courtauld Gallery when you want a focused art fix
• Frameless – Immersive Art Experience if you want something less quiet
• London Zoo if you’re traveling with kids or you like animal breaks

A useful pattern: museums tend to be ideal in the middle of the day, when you need a rest from long walks. Also, pairing one museum with a nearby landmark can keep you from bouncing across the city.

Tours and experiences beyond the ticket line

The London Pass Plus is not only about stand-alone attractions. It includes several guided-style experiences that can add variety if you’re the type who gets bored repeating the same format.

Stadium tours for sports fans

If you like modern London, the pass lists stadium tours including Arsenal FC Stadium (Emirates Stadium), Chelsea FC Stadium Tour, Tottenham Hotspur FC Stadium Tour, Twickenham Stadium Tour and Rugby Museum, and Wembley Stadium Tours.

These are particularly useful if you’re visiting during a time when many “top attractions” feel similar. Stadiums add a different angle on the city, plus you get stories and architecture that are not just about royal and religious London.

Food and pub nights for a London that talks back

The pass list also includes a London Food Walking Tour and a Historic Pub Tour of London.

This is where you shift from sightseeing to experiencing. Food walks and pub tours give you context in a way that plaques and guidebooks don’t. Even if you’re just learning the basics, these tours help you understand neighborhoods and habits that you otherwise would miss.

Immersive and quirky museum-style stops

If you want something that feels lighter or more interactive, there’s Museum of Brands, The Cartoon Museum, and Fan Museum on the included list. These make great filler days when you’ve already done your big landmarks.

How to plan your credits so you actually win

The London Pass Plus has one rule that shapes everything: your credits activate when you scan your pass at your first attraction. After that, it runs for the consecutive days you bought, not 24-hour blocks. So if you activate at noon, you are still effectively starting your clock.

Here’s how to use that in real life:

1. Start early on your first active day. You’ll get more from the time window.
2. Decide your “must do” sights first, especially anything with timed entry or strong demand.
3. Treat the rest as flexible. Museums and smaller attractions are easier to swap if your schedule shifts.

Also, attractions and tours can change. The guidance in the pass ecosystem points you to the Go City app for the most up-to-date line-up and access instructions, so build your plan around what you see there.

Reservations: don’t assume scan-and-go everywhere

Even with a pass, some popular activities require reservations. The key is not panic. It’s timing.

If a place is a major draw, reserve early. This is also where you avoid a common mistake: you plan your day like it’s a checklist, then you hit a time rule and your whole route gets tangled.

A practical warning from real-world use: some attractions have entry limits, and a few may only allow entry up to a certain time, like 4 p.m. That means you should not load those venues into your late-day slot.

QR scanning, apps, and the line situation at popular venues

The pass is designed for fast entry. You scan at the gate or ticket office to redeem credits and enter. In most cases, this cuts the friction of buying a ticket at every stop.

I also like the option to not live on your phone. One practical tip that came up in use is printing your pass when you prefer paper in your hands. Others used the phone QR code and had no trouble at participating venues. Either way, the important thing is consistency: make sure the scan works before you waste time standing there.

The Go City app helps you plan and includes an itinerary planner and city map. One very practical detail: the app can work offline, which matters when London’s mobile signal is good but not always reliable in every pocket of the city.

Don’t forget the fine print: what’s included and what’s not

The pass can include portions of larger attractions. For example, it includes The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, but it does not cover the State Rooms portion (so you can’t treat it as a full Buckingham Palace ticket).

That’s not a deal breaker, but it does mean you should check what exactly is included for each major “name” attraction. When you do, you’ll avoid the frustrating moment of thinking you’re covered for the whole site.

When the London Pass Plus makes the most sense

This pass is a great fit if you want to maximize your number of included experiences and keep your day moving without constant ticket booths.

You’ll likely enjoy it if:

• You’re in London multiple days and you want a steady stream of major sights
• You like planning using a digital app and switching plans when needed
• You want the convenience of one digital pass used at lots of venues

It’s not the best choice if:

• You only plan to do a couple of attractions
• You dislike timed reservations or strict entry windows
• You need wheelchair accessibility, since it’s listed as not suitable for wheelchair users

If your travel style is “slow and detailed,” you might still use the pass, but you’ll get better value by pairing a few big hits with just a couple of museum stops rather than trying to pack in everything.

Should you book the London Pass Plus?

Book it if you’re aiming for multiple major attractions in a short window, and you want to trade ticket buying for scanning your pass. The included mix of Tower of London, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, The Shard, plus transport like the Big Bus tour and Thames Clippers boat can turn a crowded itinerary into something manageable.

Skip it, or reconsider the length, if your plan is light on admissions or you mainly want a relaxed, neighborhood-based trip with only a couple of paid sights. The pass shines when you use it often.

If you’re ready to move efficiently, verify your top reservations early, and keep an eye on entry time limits, the London Pass Plus can be a strong value way to see more of London without constant recalculating.
