    Definitely recommendable! The London Pass is really a good thing, if you want to see a lot of London and also want to experience some culture of the city you should definitely get it. It is also good that you have a choice of different passes, one or more days, with or without a subway map. Also, the order worked wonderfully and he arrived in time for the holiday.
