The quick take

City
snapshot

Start with the free museums, then be selective about paid attractions. Check what each pass actually includes: transport and admission are not the same purchase. At restaurants, look for a service charge before adding a tip.

LONDON PASS

London£1051 DAYGo ANY 09:00

£105 for a single day, and the Tube isn't in it. Go City says so itself — the pass buys attractions, and you still pay to reach every one of them.

Details

Getting around. £3.00 a ride. Zone 1 pay-as-you-go tube single, off-peak. £3.10 at peak. Fares from TfL's own journey API.

Airport → city. £5.90. Piccadilly line from Heathrow to Zone 1. The Elizabeth line is £15.50 for the same trip.

Tipping. 12.5%, and optional. Discretionary service is often added to restaurant bills. You may ask for it to be removed.

Closing days. Rarely. The British Museum opens daily, 10.00–17.00, with a Friday late until 20.30.

Check before you commit. Not a live alert; check the operator on the day.

City figures were checked against operator and venue sources on 28 Sept 2026. Venues and operators change prices without notice. Check the source before you go.

  1. The London Pass excludes the Tube.

    £105 a day buys attractions only. Go City says so itself — travel is not in the price.

  2. The Tower goes up on 1 October.

    Adult admission moves from £37 to £38, and the 10% donation offered at checkout makes it £41.80 unless you decline it.

  3. Your London Eye slot is a queue time.

    The time on the ticket is when you join the line, not when you board. Peak waits run to 45 minutes.
