London Pass Calculator: Worth It for Your List? (2026)
The London Pass promises savings of up to 50%, but whether it delivers depends on how you sightsee. It shines on packed days at the paid heavyweights; it can't help with the London Eye or the free museums. Tick your list below and see the real numbers.
1. Who's going, and for how long?
Days matter for unlimited passes; pick-a-number passes give you weeks.
2. What do you want to see?
Gate prices are our researched baselines (as of July 2026).
Prices per person in USD unless noted. Children priced at each operator's child rate where published; gate-price child tickets estimated at 80% of adult. Choice-slot menu rules are simplified; the linked booking pages have the exact menus.
How the London passes actually work
Is the London Pass worth it?
Only on busy days at the paid heavyweights. Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul's and The Shard together run past $145 at the gate, so two of those per day beats the daily pass rate. But many London museums (British Museum, Tate, National Gallery) are free, and the London Eye isn't on the pass, so a museums-first itinerary usually shouldn't buy it.
What's NOT covered by the London Pass?
The London Eye, West End shows, and the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, plus every free museum where a pass adds nothing. The calculator prices uncovered picks at gate rates in every scenario.
London Pass vs Go City Explorer Pass?
Same operator, different math: the London Pass is unlimited per day; the Explorer Pass is pick-2-to-7 with 30 days to use them. Spread-out sightseeing favors the Explorer.
