Over in England, you can buy a LondonPass for periods of 1, 2, 3 or 6 consecutive days, for adults from £25 or £30 ($36.25 to $43.50) for one day (that's with or without public transport), £17 to £19 ($24.65 to $27.55) for children aged 5-15. With transport, a 2-day adult pass is £52 ($75.40), kids £32 ($46.40); for 3 days, £68 and £43 ($98.60 and $62.35), for 6 days, £107 and £56 ($155.15 and $81.20). Without transport, those prices range from £39 to £69 ($56.55 to $100.05) for adults, from £27 to £37 ($39.15 to $53.65) for children.
You should order the passes with transport only if you know what days you want to use them, as dates of validity are entered into the pass at time of purchase. The transport portion of the pass covers zones 1 through 6, covering 55 square miles of inner and outer London, and all the attractions covered by the pass. The 1-day passes are good from 9:30 AM but multi-day passes are good for 24 hours, midnight to midnight.
The sponsors of LondonPass claim that you save over £350 ($607.50) worth of entrance fees (that's if you visited every single place covered) and start saving when you visit only two attractions. Their example includes using their 132-page guidebook with maps (normally £4.99, $7.24) to plan your travels, taking the Underground to Tower Hill (normal 1-day travel card £5.30, $7.69), visiting the Tower of London (normally £11.30, $16.39), and then taking a red bus to Tooley Street to visit the London Dungeon (normally £10.95, $15.88). Without the LondonPass, this day out would normally cost you £32.54 ($47.18), but with the one-day pass at only £30 ($43.50), you save £2.54 ($3.68) after visiting just two attractions. "The more you see, the more you save," they say. You can buy online, too.
In addition, discounts are offered to holders of the pass at eight restaurants in the area, and there are other benefits, too, such as 1 hour free use of the Internet at the Global Cafe.
The firm also has passes for Bath and York. Contact them online at www.londonpass.com.
