Is it worth buying the London Pass for 3 days in 2026?
We want to see the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, St Paul's Cathedral, London Eye, and the View from the Shard. Is the 3-day London Pass cost-effective?

If you visit at least 2 paid attractions per day (Tower of London + Westminster Abbey alone are £30+ each), the London Pass pays for itself! Plus it includes fast-track entries.

Honestly, for that specific list, the 3-day pass might only barely break even. The Tower of London (~£35), Westminster Abbey (~£29), St Paul's (~£25), and View from the Shard (~£32) are included and total around £121. However, double-check the current listings for 2026 because the London Eye is a Merlin attraction and usually isn't covered by the standard London Pass, meaning you'd have to pay £38+ out of pocket for that anyway.
My advice as a local? Don't pay for both the Shard and the London Eye. Instead, book a free slot at Horizon 22 or Sky Garden in advance. They're right near St Paul's and the Tower, offering arguably better views of the city skyline without spending a penny.
If you drop the paid view decks, your remaining big sites (Tower, Abbey, St Paul's) only come out to around £89 total—far less than the ~£130 price tag of a 3-day London Pass. You'll save money and have a much more relaxed trip by just buying individual timed tickets online!
