It's not really a trap, but I know several people that have not been impressed with the London Card which gives you access to the different tourist places around town. The problem is, with the one day card, that you can't physically go to enough of the places that constitute the price of the card. As my friend said, after spending several hours in the Globe Theatre, she really didn't feel like going on the Eye, Westminster Abbey, and the Tower.

Unique Suggestions: Days without transport prices
1 £23
2 £36
3 £44
6 £61

Some attractions that you can visit:
Chislehurst Caves
Cutty Sark
HMS Belfast
Kew Gardens
London Aquarium
London Wetland Centre
London Zoo
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Tour and Exhibition
Shri Swaminarayan Mandir
Vinopolis
Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum
Eton College
French Brothers River Cruise
Hampton Court Palace
Jewel Tower
Kensington Palace and The Orangery
Kenwood House
Royal Mews
Southwark Cathedral
St Paul's Cathedral
The Banqueting House
The Monument
The Tower Bridge Exhibition
The Tower of London
The Wernher Collection at Ranger’s House
Wellington Arch
Windsor Castle

Fun Alternatives: It would be worth it more if you were to buy the 3 day card or the 6 day card. There's only so much you can do in 24 hours.
