London trip planner

This handy all-in-one pass unlocks entry to the essential London sights, plus everything else you need to fill your days – food stops, gym access, spas, day trips, evening entertainment, and more. Along with London's major must-sees, like the Tower of London and The View from The Shard, we've handpicked the best of British fare, some unmissable days out, transport options, and fun activities too – yep, we've thought of everything. And all of this for a single upfront price that saves you bucket loads compared to buying individual tickets. 

All you need to do is choose the number of consecutive days you’ll be using the pass (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 10). There’s absolutely no need to rush around and try to cram everything in – tick off a couple of essential attractions and some food or drink pitstops each day and you’ll quickly see the value. There are more than 100 attractions and activities to choose from, too, so it’s unlikely you’ll run out of options, even on a 10-day visit.

In short: the pass covers pretty much everything you'd want and need from a London trip (and then some), but without any of the hassle of juggling individual tickets or waiting in line to buy tickets during busy periods. What’s not to like?

Show me an example of a relaxed day using the All-Inclusive Pass…

All-Inclusive Pass itinerary

Sounds like a no-brainer. What attractions should I absolutely not miss?

Harry Styles waxwork at Madame Tussauds London

Well, that depends entirely on your own tastes of course, but you’ll find all of London’s big-hitters here. We’re talking great palaces and cathedrals, mighty monuments and museums, and some of the most vertigo-inducing observation decks in the country. 

You can ogle the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London, creep around in the crypt at St Paul’s, soliloquise at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, snap a selfie with Harry Styles at Madame Tussauds, and see London spread out far beneath your feet from the lofty heights of The View from The Shard. And that’s just for starters.

All this sightseeing is making me hungry…

Afternoon tea

You’re in luck: the All-Inclusive Pass also gets you access to top eats around the capital, with options that cover off breakfast, lunch, dinner and beyond. So loosen your belt and get ready to sample the very best of British. There’s a full English breakfast option in Soho, fish and chips in Marylebone, pie and a pint by the waterside in Surrey Quays and a classic curry on Brick Lane.

And there’s more, too. Pinkie fingers at the ready for that most quintessential of London experiences: the afternoon tea, complete with dainty finger sandwiches, sumptuous cakes and scones topped with lashings of jam and clotted cream. Heck, there’s even a workshop you can join, where you’ll learn how to bake (and then eat) your own!

… And thirsty

Again, the All-Inclusive Pass has your back. Indulge in a signature Chocatini at Farringdon’s dreamy Chocolate Cocktail Club, take a beery tasting tour at the storied Fuller’s Brewery in Chiswick and embark on a gin-tasting voyage through Maritime Greenwich. History and gin? Count us in.

Can I use the All-Inclusive Pass to get from A to B?

Cruising the Thames towards Tower Bridge

Absolutely you can. The pass includes a day’s use of the hop-on hop off City Cruises services along the River Thames, particularly handy if your As and Bs happen to include the four stops along the route: Westminster (for the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey; London Eye (for the Southbank Centre and, well, the London eye); Tower Pier (for Tower Bridge and the Tower of London) and Greenwich (for the Cutty Sark, Royal Observatory and that tantalizing gin experience we mentioned earlier). Plus you get all those great river views, taking in Shakespeare’s Globe, the Tate Modern and the soaring dome of St Paul’s – among many other sights – along the way. 

Or stick to dry land, with the 48-hour hop-on hop-off Big Bus tour, with stops at nearly every major London attraction you can think of, and probably several more that you can’t.

I’m pooped. Can I take a break?

The beauty of the All-Inclusive Pass is that you can set your own pace – you really don’t need to cram loads in to save money and there are even experiences included that will help you slow down, recharge and make the best of your day. It means you can balance all that sightseeing with some well-earned downtime at swanky hotel swimming pools, plus gyms, spas, salons and all manner of yoga, Pilates, meditation and exercise classes across London.

Further passive entertainments bundled with the pass include an immersive 3-D movie at the Science Museum’s IMAX cinema, an evening of belly laughs at the Soho Comedy Factory and a gravity-defying night out at Wicked The Musical in Victoria’s Apollo Theatre. So, you see, it’s not all pavement pounding!

Any cool day trips from London?

Stonehenge

Yes, loads. If you fancy getting out of town for a few hours, there’s a whole pick-and-mix of ideas for you right there on your All-Inclusive Pass. You could unleash your inner druid on a coach trip to Stonehenge, visit the baroque Blenheim Palace estate, birthplace of one Winston Churchill, or take the fam on an adrenaline-fuelled day out at Chessington World of Adventures theme park. 

Or perhaps you’d prefer to send your credit card into meltdown (and your bank manager into a panic) on a trip to the veritable shoppers’ paradise that is Bicester Village. This countryside mecca of cut-price designer outlets boasts some 150+ stores, including big-hitters like Burberry, Reiss, Dior, Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney. Shop, as they say, ‘til you drop – or until the money runs out, whichever happens first.

These out-of-town experiences, plus several others, are only available on the All-Inclusive Pass.

Any other perks or freebies?

The Sutton Hoo Helmet in the British Museum

Yes, the pass comes with practical perks like an e-SIM card with 2.5GB of mobile data – meaning you’ll be able to access online essentials like maps, Tube timetables and the Go City app whenever you need them. You even pick up free goodies at some of London’s top museums, including a souvenir colour guidebook from the Natural History Museum and an audio tour and priority entry at the British Museum, home of priceless historical artefacts like the Rosetta Stone, Elgin Marbles and Sutton Hoo Helmet. Pretty cool, huh?

Pro-tip: you can also use Go City’s Trip Planner tool below for sightseeing inspo. Just plug in details of your crew, the length of your trip and your travel dates (if you have them), then let us do the rest. Give it a try!

Discover London for Free: 10 Fun Finds Near Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is the star of countless London photos, but the fun doesn’t stop there—this historic neighborhood offers a treasure trove of free experiences just waiting to be explored. Whether you’re watching your wallet or simply enjoy discovering new corners of the city, there are so many local treats and hidden gems in the shadow of the bridge. From riverside strolls rich in history to vibrant cultural spots, we’re here to help you fill your London itinerary, all without spending a single quid. Ready to see a different side of the Thames? Let’s dive in and uncover the best free things to do near Tower Bridge!  Our favorite free things to do near Tower Bridge include:  Stroll Along the Thames Path  Hay’s Galleria  The Scoop at More London  St. Katharine Docks Marina  Potter’s Fields Park  Southwark Cathedral  White Cube Bermondsey  The Fashion and Textile Museum Exterior  The Monument (From the Outside)  Bermondsey Street Art & Market  Hay’s Galleria  Just five minutes from Tower Bridge, Hay’s Galleria is proof that you don’t need to spend to experience a little London magic. With its grand Victorian glass roof, riverside arches and the whirring, bronze “Navigators” sculpture stealing the show at the center, this former warehouse blends old-world grandeur with a lively, contemporary vibe.  What makes Hay’s Galleria special is the way it buzzes at all hours. Browse market stalls dotted along the walkways (window shopping is free, don’t forget), enjoy the sound of the water trickling through the fountains, or simply soak up the city’s energy from one of the stone benches beneath the arcade’s soaring roof. If you’re lucky, you might catch a live music performance, impromptu art show, or seasonal decorations that transform the space into something completely new. Rain or shine, Hay’s Galleria is a prime spot to linger, people-watch, and get a real taste of local life—absolutely gratis.  The Scoop at More London  A London riverside amphitheatre shaped for socialising, The Scoop is where Londoners gather for free open-air events all summer—and you’re invited. Nestled right by Tower Bridge and City Hall, this sunken performance space delivers everything from films and fitness classes to live theatre, all set against the sparkling Thames backdrop.  Even if you visit when The Scoop is between shows, the atmosphere is buzzing. Lunchtime brings office workers with their sandwiches, while kids scramble up and down the curved steps. The design means you get epic views whether you’re attending Shakespeare in the Park, catching a free comedy night or just chilling with friends. Keep an eye on the events board or pick up a leaflet to see what’s on. Either way, it’s a one-of-a-kind people hub with unbeatable Tower Bridge views, all without opening your wallet.  St. Katharine Docks Marina  Just behind Tower Bridge lies St Katharine Docks, a yacht-filled marina that feels worlds away from the city’s bustle. Take a gentle loop around the water and soak in the maritime atmosphere—think bobbing boats, historic barges and tiny footbridges spanning tranquil inlets. It’s a slice of London life where time seems to slow down.  We absolutely love the mix of old and new here. You’ll spot 18th-century brick warehouses comfily sharing space with gleaming yachts and buzzy cafes (with menus for every budget). Best of all, it costs nothing to wander the docks, map out your dream houseboat, and watch swans glide between luxury catamarans. On weekends, don’t miss the occasional vintage car shows or pop-up craft markets. There’s no shortage of photo opportunities—especially in the golden glow of late afternoon.  Potter’s Fields Park  If you need a green escape right by Tower Bridge, Potter’s Fields Park is your go-to spot. Stretching along the Thames, its grassy lawns and well-kept gardens frame one of London’s most photographic views—the bridge’s towers soaring above, the river sparkling in the background.  Come here to picnic, sunbathe, or just plop down and watch life unfold. Locals bring their dogs for a stroll, art students sketch the skyline, and food trucks sometimes tempt you, though you’re free to bring your own sandwiches. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a breather after museum-hopping or climbing the bridge. In summer, you might catch a festival, yoga class, or art installation cropping up on the lawns. Pack a snack and enjoy riverside London at its very best—for absolutely nothing.  White Cube Bermondsey  Get your fix of contemporary art at White Cube Bermondsey, located just a short walk from Tower Bridge. This cutting-edge gallery always offers free entry and features some of the most talked-about artists from around the globe. The dramatic, minimalist spaces give each exhibition room to breathe—and every visit promises something different, from radical sculpture to boundary-pushing video installations.  You don’t have to be an art scholar to enjoy yourself here. The staff are welcoming and happy to suggest which rooms to check out, and visitors range from art students to curious passersby in trainers and jeans. Wander at your own pace, linger over a favorite piece, or simply bask in the creative atmosphere. White Cube is the spot for anyone looking to spark their imagination or just see another side of London’s cultural landscape, all without spending a penny.  The Fashion and Textile Museum Exterior  While the Fashion and Textile Museum charges for full entry, you don’t need to go inside to appreciate its dazzling façade: an architectural statement in orange, pink and yellow, designed by the fabulous Zandra Rhodes. Snap photos against this Instagram-worthy backdrop or admire the often-changing window displays, which serve as a mini-preview of what’s inside.  The museum sits right on Bermondsey Street, known for its creative vibe and buzzy local scene. Even without a ticket, you’ll sense the energy swirling around this fashion-forward corner, with design studios upstairs and artists’ murals popping up on nearby walls. Pause, snap a selfie, and enjoy the visual feast—no ticket required!  The Monument (Outside Viewing)  Venture across the river via Tower Bridge and you’ll spot The Monument: Sir Christopher Wren’s towering tribute to the Great Fire of London. While there’s a fee to climb inside, standing at its massive base and reading the historical plaques outside costs nothing at all. The Monument’s story—how it marks the starting point of the 1666 fire, and how its gilded urn tops the skyline—captures the drama and resilience of London perfectly.  Gaze up and imagine watching flames sweep across the city some 350 years ago, or trace your finger along the stone carvings that retell the city’s comeback tale, right in the heart of bustling modern London. The Monument sits at a crossroads of history and contemporary energy—workers speed by, tourists pause for group shots, and every so often, a local stops to share a fun fact. This is the sort of spot where you really feel London’s layers, standing amidst soaring office towers and centuries-old stories. Take five here, soak in the history, and enjoy being at one of the city’s most legendary crossroads, all for free.  Bermondsey Street Art & Market  Seeking London’s creative pulse? Wander down Bermondsey Street and you’ll feel it immediately—this former industrial strip has transformed into one of South London’s most colorful thoroughfares, and the best part is how much of it you can experience without spending at all. Street art pops up around every corner: giant animal murals, quirky cartoon characters, and politically charged graffiti all share wall space, creating a rolling outdoor gallery. Don’t forget your camera because every side alley holds a surprise.  On weekends, the area comes alive with the lively Bermondsey Street Market, where antique books, vintage vinyl, and quirky bric-a-brac tempt browsers. Even if you’re not buying, soaking up the atmosphere—vendors calling out, buskers providing a soundtrack, kids darting between stalls—makes for a fantastic way to spend a Saturday morning. Bermondsey Street’s indie vibe is infectious, with cool coffee shops and design studios along the way if you’re keen to peek inside. But you don’t need to enter a single shop to enjoy it—it’s the art, the energy, and the people that make this walk a must for curious explorers.  There you have it—plenty of free things to do near Tower Bridge for a London trip that will fill your memory (and your camera roll), not your expenses. London’s historic heart is full of surprises, proof that the best experiences often come at no cost at all.  Enjoyed this? Check out our comprehensive guide to London Dungeon, and see the quirkier side of the city.    Step up your sightseeing with Go City®   We make it easy to explore the best a city has to offer. We’re talking top attractions, hidden gems and local tours, all for one low price.
