What to skip in London
Built from every London verdict we publish. Each links to the full reasoning and what to do instead.
We have no Skip pages on file for London yet; the verdicts so far all earn their keep.
Only if it fits your trip
- Is a Stonehenge day trip from London worth it?: It depends: most travelers in the log found Stonehenge worth seeing, but a standard ticket keeps you behind a rope at a distance, and one family on a six-hour bus tour from London rated the day 3 out of 5.
- Is Madame Tussauds London worth it?: It depends: families and photo fans who pre-book and avoid school holidays report a fun day, but several visitors call it poor value and skip it for free London options.
- Is the Harry Potter studio tour worth it?: It depends on who is going: visitor reports are mostly positive for Harry Potter fans with several hours to spare and more mixed for groups where nobody knows the films, with food, the shop and add-ons drawing the most complaints.
- Is the London Pass worth it?: Depends: at official prices the pass only roughly breaks even once you pack in about 7 paid sights including premium tickets, and visitors say a slow pace or a 1-day pass rarely pays off.
