rj007: I noticed the Tourist Info/accomodations window but did not check it out for any details. When my new issue of In Britain came this week there was a short feature about it. The window is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. 7 days a week and apparently is sponsored by londontown.com
tom: The Great British Heritage Pass is a no brainer for anyone between 16 and 62+. For older folks it is still a bargain, but you don't get the same huge savings. Concessions (what Brits call reduced fares/fees for senior citizens, disabled, students, etc) mean your mom will get into many places for less. One trip I kept tabs on how much an OAP (old age pensioner) would have paid w/o a GBHP. The pass came out to about a 50% to 60% savings. On that same trip I saved about 400% (4 times the cost of the pass).
