Hello, My family of four (2 adults, 2 children) are coming to London In June. We have rented a flat In Bayswater for the week we are there. We have a 2 to 3 minute walk to Paddington Rail and also the Bayswater tube. We Plan on going to Harry Potter Warner Brothers one day, and a must for my kids is to travel to Cardiff to See the Dr. Who attraction on another day. I plan on pre purchasing those tickets online to get into the attraction before we go. That leaves us four days to travel around London and see the sights, shop, and so on. Would the London Pass or would a 7 day Travelcard which from what I have read allows you to use the tube, bus, and Rail with 2 4 1 coupons to use for the attractions we want to see be better? Thanks for your reponses.

Depending on when you plan to travel to Watford Junction you may be eligible for a GroupSave rail fare from Euston, where four travel for the price of two. Tickets for the trip from Paddington to Cardiff Central will go on sale from about 12 weeks in advance; book those at www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk and use the information website www.nationalrail.co.uk for train times and fares to Watford Junction.
Seven day Travelcards for zones 1 and 2 at £31.40 for adults and £15.70 for children will give you unlimited use on all modes of transport in those zones with no time of day constraints and, when bought at Paddington's rail ticket office on the main concourse near platform 1, be good for use with the two for one offers.
There is far more flexibility when using the two for ones, as you will only pay for admission to the sights you would like to visit rather than having paid a lump sum up front and (possibly) then feel a need to dash from point to point to get value for money.
Thank you for the information!

The 'review' in post three reads somewhat like an advert.
And the reviewer states on her site that "I am brand and PR friendly, I accept reviews, advertising and collaborative posts, please ask for my rate card."
The London Pass review also starts with "We’ve been asked to review the London Pass."
LeisurePassGroup, can we assume it was yourselves that asked her to do so and did you bung her a free one to assist her review?
