Touring Passes

What is the difference between the English Heritage Pass and National Trust Membership Card?
English Heritage and National Trust are separate organisations whose aim is to preserve historical buildings and monuments.

Why do you not offer a combination of the London Pass with the Transport TravelCard?
Such a combination is only offered by the Leisure Pass Group Ltd. in London. We have separated this in our online shop to give you more flexibility. Separating the tickets is not more expensive, but gives you the flexibility to purchase, say, a London Pass for 2 days and a transport ticket for 7 days. The transport option offered by the Leisure Pass Group Ltd. means purchasing a London Travelcard for all 6 zones. By separating this option, you have the flexibility of purchasing a ticket for zones 1-2 instead.

What is included in the London Pass?
The list of attractions is included under "Further Information" on the London Pass product page.



Tickets

Is entry to Madame Tussauds included in the London Pass?
No.

Why do I have to give a date for some tickets and not for others?
We need to have the date and time for the London Eye only. Madame Tussauds has off-peak and peak prices so we need to know your date of travel for these. Peak prices are during the summer months only. You do not have to determine your date of visit unless you are a group; groups must be pre-booked with Madame Tussauds before their visit.
