Any Discounts for Attractions in London

Hi

My friend is taking her sister to London 1-4 July as a treat for her 50th Birthday.

They fancy going to Madame Tussauds (preferably the tickets that you don't need to wait in the queue for), the original London Bus Tour, the London Eye and maybe a show.

Does anybody know of anywhere you can get these attractions a bit cheaper?

I have told her about the TKTS booth in Leicester Square for the show but she would like to book everything before hand

Hope you can help.

Anne

    Thanks Fatboy

    You were right you do get a discount for booking the London eye online - 10% now does anybodt else know of any other discounts for the other attractions.

    I know a few weeks ago Superdrug had the offer on if you spent £10 you got a voucher for BOGOF at Madame Tussauds. Unfortunately by the time the trip was decided upon the offer was finished. Don't suppose anybody has any spare vouchers?

    You could check out The London Theatre Guide and you can make up your own sightseeing package here. More tickets with 365tickets.com and Lastminute.com are always worth a look.

    Try having a look at:
    The https://www.London.gov.uk site. There's a parade in Trafalgar Square if they're open minded London Pride - Saturday 2nd July, 12.00noon – 7.00pm

    http://www.uk.visitlondon.com/index.html They have a budget section for:

    Music Architecture
    Events & Exhibitions Attractions

    http://www.bigbus.co.uk/uk/html/uk_home.html This link is to the Big Bus Company.

    they have a shop in Victoria which can arrange all these half price events.

    Very good and their combined bus, river cruise and pub crawl tour is recommended.

    Unfortunately when you are in London Live8 is on and Gay Pride March so London will be jam packed.
