It was my second time to visit but the first one with my friend was during the COVID pandemic so most entries inside were closed including some snack bars. I was with my husband yesterday and we enjoyed it much: lush green, well-manicured array of plants species, fresh air to breathe, convenient and clean toilets, nice food and refreshments. Glitch was no one cared about cleaning the stained dirty food trays and there were no clean plates to put the salad, please do something about it. We have mobility issues and have only gone to about 3-4 sites so we will definitely come back.

We were able to see a lot of London in only 2 days because it was so convenient to take the bus and to have admission already paid for many of the sites we visited.

Having the pass makes it much easier by avoiding ticket lines, however, there are some aspects that are good to point out: some facilities have rather limited opening hours, you have to take this into account when planning activities because you risk missing something: for example, we were not able to visit Westminster Abbey because a) on Sundays it is open only for worship, b) by postponing the visit to the following Tuesday morning we alas discovered that on October 1, that is when we wanted to go) the abbey opens at 1 p.m. Having to leave in the afternoon we missed it. Or the London Eye opens only late in the morning and, having to make reservations, the performance of the whole day suffers, because one cannot go to a museum, for example, as there is no time to do so either before (they open at 10 a.m.) or after (many close at 5 p.m. and between the time to go and the time to visit one would be squeezed in); moreover, the pass does not give priority of entry, despite the reservation. Finally, I would have preferred the pass to include more art venues than entertainment venues. Then if you are not able to use all the passes, the savings in spending are nullified
