I bought a 3-attraction pass in London, and one of the attractions is a pilgrimage to St. Paul's Cathedral, one of the three largest cathedrals in the world. The architectural design is amazing and definitely worth a visit.

I bought a three-attraction pass and went to the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey. The price is cheaper than buying it individually and it is easy to use.

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see the back of the dress circle. My worries were unfounded once the stage started. It was a touching performance.

The pier for the river cruise and the London eye are right next to each other. immediately after the cruise, I went to ride the London eye so it was very convenient. the cruise was very comfortable and on time, with interesting live commentary. view from the London eye is awesome.
