Tower of London combined tickets

Which Tower of London combo to book

The obvious pair. Tower of London + Tower Bridge Exhibition is the one most visitors take. The bridge is right beside the Tower, so you walk out of one and into the other. Do the Tower first, since it needs the most time, then cross to the bridge walkways and engine rooms.

Two icons in one day. Tower of London + London Eye links two of London's best-known sights. They're on different stretches of the Thames, so take the Tube or a riverboat between them. The Eye runs on timed entries, so pick a slot that leaves you a long morning at the Tower. There are two versions: one with a standard London Eye ticket and one with fast-track entry, which is the better reviewed of the two.

The view from above. The Shard + Tower of London pairs the castle with the city's tallest viewing platform, just across the river. Walk over Tower Bridge or London Bridge, and save The Shard for late afternoon.

Church and castle. Tower of London + St Paul's Cathedral is the best-rated pair here and the easiest church combo: St Paul's is a short Tube ride or a riverside walk west. Tower of London + Westminster Abbey covers royal London from the coronation church to the Crown Jewels; one version swaps the standard Tower entry for a guided tour with a Beefeater. St Paul's and the Abbey are working churches with shorter visiting hours on some days, so check before you fix a date.

Rainy day or kids in tow. Smaller bundles pair the Tower with Madame Tussauds, the London Transport Museum or the Paradox Museum. They have few reviews so far.

On the water. Tower of London + Thames River Cruises adds a flexible sightseeing cruise, an easy way to move along the river between sights. The London City Card goes further: the Tower, the London Eye, a hop-on hop-off bus and a river cruise. Its reviews are fewer and mixed, so read them before booking.

Is a combo cheaper than separate tickets?

The Tiqets Tower bundles are a little cheaper than buying the two tickets separately. It's a modest discount, plus one checkout. The London City Card is priced as one product. Compare it with the parts you'd really use, especially if you don't need the bus.

How the tickets work

You book once and get a separate ticket for each attraction on your phone. Pick a date for the Tower and for each other part, and a time slot where one is asked for. The Tower tends to get busier as the day goes on, so an early start helps. Cancellation conditions can differ per part, so check them on the booking page.
