Tower Of London. Your London Pass gives you not only free

| Beautiful Tower Bridge has a
much shorter history, having been constructed in 1894, but it also is a world famous landmark. Your London Pass gives you free
entry to the Tower Bridge Exhibition and fantastic views across London. |

HMS Belfast, moored almost opposite Tower Bridge on the south bank,
is a truly impressive sight. She has a proud history, having taken part in both the destruction of the German battle cruiser
Scharnhorst and the Normandy landings. |
| St Paul's Cathedral will take your
breath away. The creation of Sir Christopher Wren, the Cathedral was built between 1675 and 1710, and its dome has dominated the
London skyline ever since. |

The Royal Albert Hall, just south of Kensington Gardens,
is yet another world famous landmark. This immense domed building can seat 5,200 and is the location for major concerts and
the summer Proms. |
| Make time on your tour to visit the Jewel Tower
in Westminster. It was built in around 1365 as part of the original Palace of Westminster. Entry is free with your London Pass.
