London City Pass: worth it or not, and when it pays off

London City Pass is a day pass: everything on its list, for a set number of days. Turbopass sells it in 7 options from GBP 111 to GBP 240 for one adult, checked October 2026.

It includes 6 attractions in our London data, 6 with a published gate price, and leaves out 12. The figures below are arithmetic on those prices, not a rating of the pass.

For one adult, the 1 day option at GBP 111 pays for itself after any 4 of the attractions we price on it; the 7 days option at GBP 240 does not pay for itself with the attractions we price on it.

Turbopass lists 7 options. Prices for one person in GBP, from the seller's page in October 2026. The last column is the engine's break-even for one adult, with the cheapest attractions on the pass first.

Children

Child price for ages 5 to 15, on every option.

No price is published for children under 5, so the calculator leaves them out of this pass and names them on the result.

From age 16, a child pays the adult pass price. At the gate the same child may still get a youth price, which the math counts.
