Does London Pass include Buckingham Palace?

Note that there are several major attractions in London that are NOT currently included with the London Pass that you should take into consideration. These include the London Eye, View from the Shard, Buckingham Palace tours, London Dungeon, London Aquarium, and tours of the Houses of Parliament.



The London Pass does not include entry to the State Rooms of Buckingham Palace, as the Palace is only open to the public for a limited period during the summer months (typically July to September). However, the pass does provide access to the Queen's Gallery and the Royal Mews, which are both located within the Buckingham Palace grounds and offer a deep look into royal life, carriages, and art. In 2026, while the "London Pass" covers over 80 attractions like the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey, the State Rooms remain a separate ticketed event managed by the Royal Collection Trust. If you visit during the summer, you will need to book a specific time slot and pay an additional fee to see the interior throne rooms. The London Pass does often include a walking tour that takes you to the palace gates to watch the Changing of the Guard, but this is an external view only and does not grant entry into the residence itself.
