More London guides
- How Much Does It Cost to Visit Buckingham Palace in 2026?
Quick answer: Buckingham Palace State Rooms entry starts from £33, rated 4.6 from 8,051 reviews. Westminster Abbey from £27 is the cheaper royal alternative and opens year round, while the exterior and the Changing of the Guard cost nothing at all.
- Is The Shard Worth It, or Should You Do the Free Sky Garden?
Quick answer: The Shard is worth it if you want the highest view (from £24, rated 4.5), but St Paul's from £24 rates higher at 4.7 and includes the dome climb. Sky Garden is free but needs a slot booked well ahead, which is the catch most guides skip.
- Is the London Pass Worth It in 2026? Do the Maths First
Quick answer: only if you will genuinely visit three or more paid attractions a day. The Tower of London at £37 is the single biggest entry cost, and St Paul's at £24 is the best-rated cheap one at 4.7. Add up the ones you would actually pay for before buying any pass.
- First Time Visiting London: The Complete 2026 Guide
Quick answer: the Tower of London is the sight to book first (from £37, rated 4.6 from 31,716 reviews), a Thames sightseeing cruise from £17 is the cheapest way to see the skyline, and a hop-on hop-off bus from £25 doubles as transport on day one.
- Perfect 3-Day London Itinerary: What to See Each Day
Quick answer: book the Tower of London for day one (from £37, rated 4.6 from 31,716 reviews), Westminster Abbey for day two from £27, and the London Eye for day three from £25 because at 30 minutes it fits around a departure. Timed-entry slots are the constraint, so book those three before anything else.
