London pass travelcard vs. Oyster card
We are 2 families, 4 adults and 4 kids (age 8, 11, 13, and 16) reaching at LHR airport from USA.
Which will better economically save money and time to purchase, Oyster Card or London pass with travelcard?
We'll be able to spend half a day in London on June 1st, all day on June 4th and most of the day on June 5th.
Best Answer
Unless you have a really tight schedule, and you know exactly what you want to see and make sure that all the tickets are worth more that the London Pass, then I would say it is not worth it. Buy an Oyster with a Pay-as-you go credit, which you can then return when you fly back and get the remaining money back.
Take a look at this question as well, it is almost a duplicate: Is the London Pass worth the price?

Is it cheaper to get an Oyster card or a Travelcard?
Oyster cards bought in London allow you to load Travelcards (but not 1 day Travelcards) onto your Oyster. If you are staying 6 or more days a 7 day Travelcard will probably be cheaper than Oyster alone. Visitor Oyster cards do not have this capability.What is the best Travelcard to use in London?
An Oyster card may be the most cost-effective option if you are only visiting for a few days. A 7 Day Travelcard is a good option if you are visiting for a week and only plan to visit central London. You can also use contactless payment, which has both a daily and weekly fare cap.Is it cheaper to use an Oyster card in London?
The Oyster Card is a magnetic rechargeable plastic card valid for all of London's public transport. It not only simplifies the payment system, but it is also cheaper than paying for a single journey ticket every time you ride the Underground, bus, DLR or Overground.Oyster Card vs Travelcard Price Comparison, Transport for London
