Posted: 2010-06-27
We've been promoting the London Pass on BritainExpress.com for a long time, because we think it offers very good value for visitors to one of the most fascinating and historic cities in the world. If you are spending more than a day or two in London you will easily recoup the cost of a Pass several times over. The London Pass has been around for a long time, too, and now has free or discounted entry to hundreds of locations around the city.
