Why do Travellers Choose The London Pass Tour?

This all-encompassing sightseeing credits package includes access to more than 80 of London’s top attractions, plus a digital guide packed with attraction information and instructions on how to redeem your credits.

Does my London Pass include transport to and from the airport?

You must collect the London Pass from central London. Transportation from London airports to central London will not be possible. However, if you choose the Travel card upgrade, once you have received your London Pass, you may use the Travel card to return to the airport on the normal services. Note: the only London airports accessible with the London Pass Travel card are Heathrow (all terminals) and London City Airport. London Pass Travel card will not be accepted on the Heathrow Express, Gatwick Express or Stansted Express.

Please Note: Adults will be issued a Visitor Oyster card. Each electronic Oyster Travelcard comes pre-loaded with a credit/value to match your London Pass duration. 1 day = £10, 2 days = £15, 3 days = £25 and 6 days = £40. This is calculated to be enough credit to cover the equivalent number of days of travel within central London.  If you travel further outside the central zones 1-3 you might have to top up the credit on your Oyster card.

Children under 11 years of age can travel for free on London Transport with an Adult holding a valid Oyster Card. Children between 11 – 15 with a 1, 2, 3 and 6-day London Pass will receive a Paper Travelcard, not an Oyster Card.

Can I see all the London Attractions in a single day?

Even for the travel enthusiast seeing all the 80 plus London attractions is not possible in a single day London Pass. In case you want to see the maximum number of attractions in a day, you will have to plan your travels and check for the routes via Google Maps from your hotel/accommodation location.

London Pass Cancellation Policy

The London Pass is non-refundable and cannot be changed for any reason. If you cancel or ask for an amendment, the amount you paid will not be refunded.

Birthday Celebration Dinner Cruise on the Thames River

Published on
/////

We all gathered in London to celebrate my dad’s birthday celebration dinner cruise on the Thames River this July 2022. We heard a lot about it and wanted to celebrate this occasion on the Thames River cruise. It is a fantastic place to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries etc. I booked the tickets for 6 of us from Viator which was the London Dinner cruise on the Thames River. My wife and I travelled from Tallinn, Estonia and my mom, brother and his wife travelled from New Delhi, India.

It was a special occasion, as it is very rare that we are able to gather all in London after so long. Especially due to Covid restrictions lasting 2 years. It has been a rough time for friends and family to gather. So here we are at the Westminster Pier sharp by 6.30 pm. Even though our cruise will start by 7 pm. We wanted to make sure that we reach in time and in case of any issues with finding the cruise we have ample time to go to the right place.

BOOK YOUR DINNER CRUISE

Dinner Cruise Starting Point

We had to reach the departure point which was: Westminster Pier, Victoria Embankment, London SW1A 2JH, UK. See the map below.

At the entry which was the boarding point gate, we walked along and were greeted by the ticket checker. we had our London Dinner cruise on the Thames River in hand. Also, Viator sent us a mail where we can add the ticket to the Apple wallet as well.

We waited in the waiting area to post our ticket check. And we were called to get inside the cruise in like another 10 minutes or so. I was super excited to see the Thames River, Lastminute.com London Eye, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. We were asked to queue and we entered the cruise and were given a table for six next to the window. The fantastic view around, while the cruise was a little wobbly.

Finally, we reached the dessert and we got white, Dark And Milk Chocolate Truffle Cake (V) Served With A Raspberry Coulis. The dessert was too big for my wife, so we said we want only one. And my mother knowing diabetic, asked for tea for her instead.

After dessert, we all had the option of coffee, or tea as a palate cleanser.

I wished we had a cake as well, would have been awesome to cut it on the cruise, but we completely forgot about it. Anyways, overall the meal was delicious and all six of us enjoyed it.

The majority of the people were celebrating their birthdays or anniversaries. The anchor came to us and asked us as well, we shared it was our dad’s birthday.
