Going to London - what's better to be reserved in the US

Posted by (Clovis, CA, USA) on

I'm going to London next month. I had my hotel & eurostar tix paid & reserved. Any suggestion on what else might be better to be reserved from the US rather than in London (maybe better price if reserved online, etc). I'm staying there for about a week, planned to go visit the misc. sights (london eye, westminster, museums, etc...) and also plan to use the public transportation. Should I be reserving tickets for the sights & buy the Oyster card in advance?

Thanks!

p.s. this is my first time ever going to Europe

In my opinion, purchase the Oyster card and London Pass when you arrive. We purchased the London Pass before we left, and I did regret it since could have easily bought it there and saved on the hefty mailing fee. You can buy the Oyster card right at the airport. Are you planning on seeing any concerts/shows? We reserved a concert ahead of time at St.-Martin-in-the-Field, but since were not set on a specific musical/theatrical, bought those tickets either at the box office or the discount booth. If any of the sights recommend a reservation and are not covered by the London Pass, do it online in the US. Have fun!

If you to visit Madame Tussauds, it's best to purchase in advance via their web site:

Sometimes the lines to get in can stretch around the block. Advance ticket holders are allowed to bypass and use a special entrance.
