The London Pass

London is one of my favourite cities but sadly, it is also one of the world’s most expensive cities.

The London Pass is the first thing that you need to reserve BEFORE going to London.  It gets you free entry into SIXTY attractions…yes, you read that right!  😀  This fantastic pass also lets you cut the looooong lines, which is especially great during summer, the busiest time of year!

I would say that the second thing that you need to get is an Oyster card, but you can get one with your London Pass!  Having an Oyster card makes public transit easier and cheaper! It also helps you blend in and look like a local.

The London Pass opened my eyes to places I hadn’t heard of, such as the Jewel Tower, which was built in the mid-1360s for King Edward III’s treasures.

I also wouldn’t have thought of seeing the Queen’s Gallery or the Royal Mews, which are behind Buckingham Palace and definitely worth seeing!

Of course, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Windsor Castle, and Hampton Court Palace ought to be at the top of your list, all of which require a great deal of time to fully take in and appreciate – do not rush! Devote at least two-three hours for these places, but you can easily spend a whole day in these gems.

Without my London Pass, it’s definitely safe to say that I wouldn’t have gone to these places and missed out on great experiences while saving hundreds of pounds and several hours at the same time.  You also get a FREE guidebook and a whole bunch of coupons for shopping and eating out!  😀

Ah, this brings back so many memories.  I had the time of my life in London, and it has a special place in my heart.  I hope that you fall in love with London like I did! 😀
