Guide Review - The London Pass
The London Pass is a 'smart card' - like a credit card with a computer chip inside - which allows you completely cash free entry to over 55 London tourist attractions. Once you've bought your London Pass you don't have to pay to get into any of the attractions covered by the pass and the more sights you see, the more money you save.
Simply choose the number of days you want and book online so you can make the most of your time in London. Do remember a 'day' is based on a calendar day, so if you use your pass at 4pm on Monday, Monday is counted as day one of your pass usage.
The only real downside I found was my lack of energy - there was so much I wanted to see and I ran out of steam!
