Is the London Pass Worth it?
 
We will be in London for 3 days. Would purchasing a 2-day London pass with travel be a good idea if we want to see as much as we can in the limited time we are there? We do definitely plan to see the Tower of London, Churchill War Room, Hampton Court, Old Globe, etc. Can you really move ahead of the line queues for most of the attractions? Is the travel portion a good idea as well? Thanks!

Is the pass valid at all those places? I assume you've checked that out.

No it isn't - especially as most of those places have 2-for-1 discounts if you have a paper travelcard

sorry www.2for1.entry.co.uk

as for the travel option - it's a ripoff

£46 for a 2-day pass? Have you done the math yourself? And I can't imagine you visitng the places you listed in just 2 days. Hampton Court Palace alone take a full day.

When I look on the 2 for 1 site, I believe you be a train traveler, however I could be incorrect. We will not be taking the rail, but will the tube etc.

Yes, the pass is valid for those sites and more.

Appreciate the feedback about Hampton Court. There is too much we want to see in so little time.

do a search here about the 2-for-1 offer. You CAN use a PAPER Day travelcard as the "rail ticket" requirement for the offer.

Just to be clear a Travelcard is a Tube and Train pass good within the number of zones you need in in Greater London

You will be taking a train to hampton court as well if not going both ways by boat and with that limited time you'd be going by train

LondonPass is good if you were in London longer and have done the usual and then want to do Canal Boat tours, bike tours, Thames Boats, etc.
