What is The London Pass® sightseeing credits package?
The London Pass® is a sightseeing credits package that grants you access to 90+ London attractions. You simply purchase your desired credits package and redeem your credits to gain access to the attractions. Your credits reduce as you redeem them for entry.
You can choose either a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 10 – consecutive day sightseeing credit package, which is subject to a "credit value" - see below for more information on "credit values".
Each pass is subject to a value of a maximum credit and you are unable to exceed this. 1 credit is worth £1 and your credits are redeemed when you enter attractions, reducing by the amount of the standard gate price of the attraction you enter.
The maximum credits value per pass type is listed below:
- 1-day London Pass credits package: adult 180 max credit / child 145 max credit
- 2-day London Pass credits package: adult 290 max credit / child 230 max credit

Once you've purchased a sightseeing credits package it's easy; you simply scan your pass at any of the attractions to access them.
You can find out how many credits you have left at any point by simply contacting our customer support team.

What is the London Pass Savings Guarantee?
With our passes, we guarantee that you’ll save on your sightseeing. However, if it turns out you could have saved by buying individual attraction tickets, rather than using your pass, we’ll refund you the difference.
You’ll need to have scanned your pass at least three time per day, every day per life of pass.
You can submit your claim by emailing us on [email protected]. Be sure to provide the following:
-
Your order confirmation number (this can be found on your confirmation of purchase email).
-
Screenshots of entry prices from the attraction's website or from any other travel websites that prove that the combined cost of attractions you visited would have been cheaper than the cost of our passes.
We'll review your claim and will respond within 7-10 business days.

- There was a typo in the email address.

Transport
-
What is the Oyster Card?
The Oyster Card is an electronic travelcard designed to facilitate journeys across London on the extensive transport network.
The Oyster Card can be used on public buses, the underground network as well as overground trains, and the DLR. The Oyster Card will never expire so it makes a great investment if you plan on coming to London in the future.
To find out more about Oyster Travelcard, click here.
-
When and where can I use the Oyster Card?
The Oyster Card can be used across all buses, tubes, overground trains, and the DLR. It can be used any time and any day the public transport networks are running. To find out more about opening times of the London transport network, visit the Transport for London website.
-
What is the £5 admin fee on the Oyster Card?
The £5 admin charge is a fee added on by Transport for London to cover the cost of producing the Oyster Cards. This is a non-refundable fee that is unavoidably added to every Oyster Travelcard order.
It does mean that the card is yours forever as you do not have to return the card after use or throw it away. Providing the Oyster Card has credit, it can be used at a later date as the card never expires.
-
Can I use the Oyster Card to get to and from the airport?
If you have your order shipped to you before you travel and you fly into Heathrow Airport then you can use your Oyster Travelcard on the London Underground to travel into central London. The Oyster Travelcard would also cover use on the DLR trains from London City Airport as well. Using your Oyster Card to travel into Central London from Gatwick will incur a higher charge (up to £19.80 one-way on the Gatwick Express, for example) so we would advise against using it from this airport.
The Travelcard doesn’t cover transport to and from Luton Airport and Stansted Airports.
-
Can I store my luggage somewhere while using my London Pass®?
Stasher has locations worldwide where you can store your luggage while you explore the city. Exclusive to passholders, bookings can be made online here, and use the coupon code GOCITYGLOBAL for 10% off.
-
If my child (under 11) doesn't need a travelcard or Oyster Card, how will they get through the barriers?
Children under 11 can travel on the London Transport network for free, accompanied by an adult holding a valid Oyster Card. Please go to the wider gates at the side where a member of staff can let you through without a ticket.
Validity
-
Do I need to use my pass on consecutive days?
Yes, all passes are to be used on consecutive days. For example, if you have a 3-day pass and start using it on a Tuesday, it will be valid for that day, Wednesday and Thursday.
Please note: if you start using your pass in the evening or late in the day, that will count as your first day.

What is the "Credits Value"?
