"High Priced Attractions" London Tourist Trap Tip by tvor

There are a few attractions in London that are *very* highly priced. Some of the highest tickets are for the Tower of London, Madame Toussauds, st. Paul's, London Eye, London Dungeons, Hampton Court, Kensington Palace, all starting from 10 pounds and up. That really adds up! Most of the major musuems and galleries are now free for the regular exhibits, with a fee for special and temporary exhibitions. Some, like the Dungeon are out and out rip offs. The London Aquarium has higher prices during school holidays and summer. Most have cheaper prices for children, students and seniors.

Having said that, i still found the Tower worth the entrance fee as well as Hampton Court (but remember there is transportation costs involved getting there as well)

Unique Suggestions: The London Pass
is a good idea if you are going to cram in a lot of sightseeing in a day. A one day pass at present is £19 for an adult and if you buy it online ahead of your trip, it comes with a one day central zone travel card, more savings!

You can buy a combination ticket to both the Tower and Hampton Court which will save you a little money.
