If you are planning on visiting at least a couple of attractions when visiting London, the London Pass may be a good-value option for you. When you buy a London Pass, you choose a pass that is valid for 1, 2, 3, 6 or 10 days. So, to know which pass to choose and get the most out of it, you need to plan ahead and know which attractions you would want to visit and over how many days.

Our sightseeing London Pass itineraries and routes have been designed to visit as many attractions as possible to get the best value out of London Pass.

» 1 Day London Pass Itinerary

The adult price for a 1 day London Pass is £71. For a different view of London, we always recommend the River Thames cruise that is included with the London Pass. Based on this, we would suggest the following route and to visit the following attractions in this order. You will find these attractions as red markers on our map below.

• Westminster Abbey (£23.00): We start our day visiting the magnificent Westminster Abbey, one of the most famous places in London and a must-see on your visit to London. Westminster Abbey is located next to Big Ben so it’s a great way to start your first day of sightseeing in London. It will probably take you 1-2 hours to visit Westminster Abbey.
• River Thames cruise – Westminster to the Tower of London (£18.75): Once you have visited Westminster Abbey, head to the river bank at Westminster Bridge on the same side as the London Eye. Here you can you can board a sightseeing river cruise along the Thames, something we would highly recommend to everyone visiting London. Get off at the Tower of London, next to the iconic blue Tower Bridge.
• Tower of London (£27.50): A visit to the Tower of London is a must when you visit London. The Tower of London is one of London’s most important tourist attractions, an incredible palace and castle that you can’t miss on a trip to London. It will probably take you 1 – 2 hours to visit the Tower of London.
• Tower Bridge Exhibition (£9.80): Once you have visited the Tower of London, head over to Tower Bridge, London’s iconic blue bridge and visit the exhibition inside it. Walk along its panoramic glass walkway and see the mechanics of the bridge that make it open and close.

Great news – Following this London Pass itinerary for one day, and visiting these four London attractions, you have already made back the cost of a 1 day adult London Pass!

You are probably feeling a bit hungry by now, so we’d recommend grabbing something to eat around the Tower of London. You could either grab something inside the actual Tower of London or head over to St Katharine’s dock, which is located next to Tower Bridge. St Katharine’s dock is one of our favourite hidden gems of London, and here you will find a large selection of attractive bars and restaurants.

From here, we’d recommend that you cross Tower Bridge by foot, and explore a few more attractions located on the south side of the river. You should still have plenty of time to visit the wonderful HMS Belfast and head up The Shard, the tallest building in London, for some absolutely stunning views of the city:

• HMS Belfast (£18.00): We highly recommend visiting this impressive naval ship which has been turned into a museum, anchored in the River Thames next to Tower Bridge. HMS Belfast is open to the public until 5 or 6 pm (depending on the time of year).
• The View from the Shard (£32.00): The tallest building in London has an incredible viewpoint located on the 72nd floor, and it really is a must if you have a London Pass. The View from the Shard is open until 7 pm Sunday to Wednesday, and until 10 pm from Thursday to Saturday.  

So far in one day, we have saved close to £60 per person with the London Pass compared to paying for each of the attractions at the gate.   

If you still have the time and the energy, you could also try to squeeze in one of these attractions into this itinerary as you’ll also find them around London Bridge: 

• The Old Operating Theatre (£6.50): A smaller, alternative museum located in London Bridge next to the Shard, this is Europe’s oldest operating theatre. This museum is only open until 5 pm, so we would recommend visiting it before going to the Shard. 
• London Bridge Experience (£20): If you fancy tackling your fears, the London Bridge terror passage should get your adrenaline pumping.  Open until 5 or 6 pm, depending on the time of year.

» 2 day London Pass Itinerary

If you would like to buy the 2 day london pass, then the adult price is £93. That’s £22 more than a one day London Pass. For your first day, we recommend following the itinerary described above for the one-day London Pass. For your second day, we suggest that you visit these other attractions. You will find them as green markers on the map below:

• London Transport Museum (£17.50): Located in Covent Garden. London’s Transport Museum tells the story of the history of transport and the evolution of the different transport methods used in the British capital. It is worth a visit just to see the old double-decker buses, and a must if you are planning a trip to London with kids.
• St. Paul’s Cathedral (£20.00): The iconic St. Paul’s Cathedral in London is a must if you have the London Pass. On our itinerary, you can walk across the Millennium Bridge and reach the next attraction.
