London Pass

Two days after hospital treatment & recuperation, she was able to resume only two more days of touring a few destinations in town (in a wheelchair) before we cut our month-long trip short to return home for her needed surgical repairs. We'll try again next year to finish what we missed (and buy two more London Passes).

Very sorry to hear that, and hope your wife is okay.

Sadly a lot of the really old buildings have narrow stairwells and the like.

It's a shame they didn't just refund you the money on the passes give the circumstances.

Hope you come back and see any sites you missed.

Thanks, she’s a tough old bird (age 73) and is recuperating well.
She’s already planning the return trip - but intends to watch where she’s going next time. No need to rush all around like the typical rubbernecking tourist - take it slow & enjoy the show.

Hi Aredhel,

Great explanation. I totally agree with you. It is better to compare pass cost with actual cost for visiting the places mentioned in the pass.

Thanks.
