I realize it may seem the topic has been beaten to death...but I have read all the threads and formulated a plan....and I just wanted some experienced opinions....to make sure I have a good plan here.
5 days / 4 nights in London. Arriving Heathrow, Departing St. Pancras. Staying in Bloomsbury.
While weighing the London Pass/2-4-1/oyster card, etc. This is what I have decided. I'm looking for a mix of ease and convenience throughout the trip.
Planning to arrive Heathrow and take the tube to St. Pancras. Surface and go to the Rail station, purchase 7 day zone 1-2 travel cards for entire family (I have passport photos of the children already). Gather the booklets with the 2-4-1 vouchers (possibly print some before I leave home if able).
The reasoning for me was, the London pass - while nice for budgeting - seemed to charge far too much for what we were getting. Particularly if the kids become enthralled at one (free!) location (British Museum, etc)....I don't want to feel stress of not getting "our money's worth".
The travel card will prevent us from having to top off 5 Oyster cards periodically, hopefully making transit more efficient.
Thoughts? Thank you all so much!
