How The London Pass Works
The London Pass offers free entry to more than 55 of London’s most popular tourist and sightseeing attractions Smart card technology means pass holders can enjoy completely cashless entry to tourist attractions which are included. Once you’ve bought your London Pass, you don’t have to pay to get into any of the attractions covered by the pass.
Skipping The Queue
As well as free entry, the London Pass allows you to skip long and frustrating queues at the busiest tourist attractions, including the Tower of London, London Zoo, Kensington Palace and London Aquarium. Simply look for the London Pass signs and show the attendant your London Pass - they will swipe your card through a special London Pass reader and you will be allowed entrance without having to wait in line!
Activating The London Pass
The smart card technology used by the London Pass includes a computer chip within the card itself. This chip records when and where you first use your London Pass, as well as how long the pass will remain valid for. Fast Track Entry
What this means is that regardless of what start date you supply when you purchase the pass, your London Pass is activated the moment that you first use it, at the first tourist attraction or sight that you visit.
Your London Pass is then valid for the number of days that you purchased - be it 1, 2, 3 or 6 days. It is important to note that a ‘day’ is based on a calendar day, so should you first use your pass at 4pm on Monday, Monday is counted as day one of your pass usage.
