London City Pass

One pass. Unlimited city.

London has three city pass options aimed at tourists: the London Pass (All-Inclusive, by Go City), the Go City Explorer Pass, and the Merlin London Attractions Pass. Each suits a different type of trip. This page covers what each one includes, how they're priced, and which makes sense depending on how many days you have and which attractions are on your list.

Common questions

FAQs

Is the London Pass worth buying?

Yes, if you're planning a packed 1–3 day sightseeing trip to paid landmarks. The 1-day pass costs £99; the Tower of London (£37), Westminster Abbey (£30), and The Shard (£29.95) already total £96.95 before adding the included Hop-on Hop-off bus and Thames cruise. For slow travellers or those mainly visiting free museums, it offers less value.

Does the London Pass include the Tube?

No. None of London's city passes – the London Pass, Go City Explorer, or Merlin Pass – include Underground, bus, or rail travel. You'll need a separate Oyster card or contactless payment for transport. A Zone 1–2 daily Travelcard costs around £15, or you can cap your contactless spend at roughly the same rate.

What's the difference between the London Pass and the Go City Explorer Pass?

The London Pass All-Inclusive bundles 80+ attractions on consecutive calendar days – best for a packed schedule. The Explorer Pass lets you choose two to seven specific attractions with 60 days to use them all – better if you want flexibility or only have four or five venues on your list. If you're only visiting three or four major paid sights, the Explorer Pass often works out cheaper.
