World-famous clipper ship theย Cutty Sarkย is among the new attractions introduced by the London Pass (www.londonpass.com) for summer 2015, as the popular sightseeing card adds even more value for visitors to the capital.
From 1 May London Pass holders will gain free entry to the ship, normally priced at ยฃ13.50 per person.ย The introduction of theย Cutty Sarkย continues the London Passโs development of Greenwich as a hub for its customers.ย Last autumn saw the Royal Observatory added to the portfolio, while the National Maritime Museum, Fan Museum and Wernher Collection at Rangerโs House are also offered, as is a one-day โhop-on, hop-offโ Thames City Cruises ticket which offers scenic transport to and from Greenwich.
The London Pass is also aiming to tap into the worldwide popularity of the BBC TV seriesย Sherlockย by introducing a one-hour guidedย Sherlock Holmes Walking Tour.ย Participants are invited to don deerstalkers and explore the locations featured in Sir Arthur Conan Doyleโs original novels as well as a range of on-screen adaptations.
Normally priced at ยฃ10 per person, the Sherlock Holmes tour is the second Best LDN Walks tour to be included on the London Pass following the popular addition of the โRoyal London โ Tarts & Tiarasโ walk last year.
Another new introduction for May 2015 is theย Science Museumโs IMAX Theatre.ย London Pass holders will now be able to experience a 3D film (normally ยฃ10 per person) on one of the UKโs largest cinema screens.ย The IMAX Theatre shows a range of educational films transporting visitors to the moon, under the sea or into deep space, with the 3D effect placing them right in the heart of the action.
Already a popular attraction on the London Pass, from May pass holders will be able to skip the queues withย Fast Track access to the Tower Bridge Exhibition. This iconic London landmark, offering panoramic views of the Thames and a genuine piece of Victorian history, has become even more popular with the introduction of its glass walkways last summer.ย Normally ยฃ9, access for London Pass holders is free as well as fast!
London Pass holders simply show their cards at any featured attraction to gain admittance with nothing further to payย โย making significant savings on their sightseeing in the city.
A one-day London Pass is priced at ยฃ49 per adult and ยฃ33 per child (aged 5-15), and on a one-day break visitors to the city can save after visiting just three attractions. As an example, paying independently to visit the Tower of London (normally ยฃ20), the London Bridge Experience (ยฃ24) and taking a Thames River Cruise (ยฃ18) would come to ยฃ62; London Pass holders enjoying the same attractions would save more than ยฃ10.
London Pass holders save not only money but time; the card includes queue-jumping privileges at a number of sought-after city attractions, ensuring they spend less time waiting to gain entry, and more time enjoying their chosen experience.
