I was gifted a LondonPass for my 2 day extension after my Rick Steves Tour is over.
What are the places I should NOT miss?
What are the ones that seem interesting, but not worth it?
I want to see it all, but I know I can't stay in London forever!
Thank you all!
I don't know what sights the tour covers or what sort of things you're interested in, but these are some of the big-deal sights covered by the pass that happen to be rather expensive if you have to pay out of pocket:
Tower of London
Westminster Abbey
St. Paul's Cathedral
Hampton Court Palace (travel time required for this one)
Kew Gardens (travel time required here, too)
A couple of sights in Greenwich could be combined, so travel time would be shared.
There are many other options, of course.
I don't know exactly how the London Pass works; there might be a reason not to use it for one or more of the sights I've listed--such as if there's a requirement to book an entry time that's challenging to accomplish with the Pass.
What a thoughtful gift. What interests you? That is what matters. One possible day where you use the London Pass is be at the Tower of London when it first opens in the morning. Explore as much as you like and then come out and catch an Uber boat from the Tower Pier just outside the Tower. Take it to Greenwich where you can explore the Cutty Sark, the Old Royal Navy College, the Royal Observatory and the Royal Museums. Take the Uber Boat back to Westminster. All of these are covered on your London Pass and do not require any advance reservations. That is a great day, but only if these are things that actually interest you.
I would think about looking through the list of items and picking the top 4 that really interest you. Then go ahead and build around those 4 items. Try to group things geographically. Only a few London Pass locations require reservations and that list, and how to make them are accessed here. https://londonpass.com/en-us/reservations
I can tell you from experience that the Florence NIghtangale Museum is a definite choice to skip. Some of my other favorites are Westminster Abbey, Hampton Court Palace and Windsor. You don't have time for all of those so you will have to choose carefully and save the rest for another trip.
