Should I buy the pass that includes attractions etc. or just the one for transport?<BR>

If you don't plan to see the attractions -- could be, right? -- I suggest you take just the one for for transport. <BR>If you intend to walk a lot, I wouldn't even bother with that.

I'd wait till you get there and either get a 7-day travelcard (also good for buses) for 19.20 pounds (zones 1 & 2, bring a small picture), or 1-day travelcard each day (4.10--good only after 9:30am or 5.30 good all day). Another alternative is a 10-ticket carnet (zone 1 only) for 11+ pounds. Since 6 days with a "London Pass" costs 91 pounds, it seems quite overpriced.<BR><BR>Also many museums in London are free to the public--decide where you want to go and see if they are on the list to determine if the attractions pass would useful to you. I don't think the travel pass is.

Sue is right -- the regular travel cards that are sold at every tube stop (good on both tube and bus) are a better buy than the Visitors Travelcard. The one-day passes are sold weekdays; there's a 2-day weekend pass. But if you have children under 17, the daily family travel cards will probably be your best buy.<BR><BR> The London Pass, for admission to many of the not-free attractions and to special exhibits at many of the free ones, is not a good deal for most people, but you should cost it out for yourself.

Get a 7 day travel pass if you are going to be there a week. It was the best purchase I made in London. You need a small photo. Just cut one out of a snapshot or polaroid, about one inch high.<BR><BR>You can use it for jumping on and off buses, very handy if you have made a footwear mistake and your feet hurt.

For the travel card, we just brought regular photos for each person. The man at the ticket window got a chuckle out of it but he happily cut our pictures to the proper size and issued our passes. With the travel card, it makes life much simpler as you can jump on the tube or bus, whenever you want as as often as you want.
