"The London Pass is fantastic! Is useful and full of discounts! I discovered many places that without it I wouldn't have visited (Cartoon museum, BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Hampton Court Palace, etc ...). With this card you're like a VIP because you can avoide the queue! I love discounts in restaurant, bars and shops especially at "Tiltyard café" at Hampton Court Palace, I ate the best pie and mush of the world. Thank you, London Pass!"
