Transport for London (TfL) is working with several London attractions to offer reduced prices for visitors who travel there on its services.
The visitor attractions included in the scheme include Historic Royal Palaces, Merlin Entertainments London attractions, Lee Valley VeloPark and some West End shows.
Historic Royal Palaces
Two visitors to Historic Royal Palaces can pay the price of just one if they travel there on a TfL service, and will need to show proof of travel via the TfL Oyster and Contactless app when they arrive. This promotion includes Kensington Palace, the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace, and applies during the February half-term school break as well as at other times.
TfL passengers can view the home of Henry VIII and the Tudor kitchens at the Hampton Court Palace for half the usual entry price. TfL passengers can apply the 2-for-1 deal on top of the existing fifty percent discount between 8 January and 9 February.
Velodrome Experience
Visitors can take part in a Velodrome experience on an Olympic track. Lee Valley VeloPark is offering TfL passengers one-fifth off the price of three taster sessions, which include Velodrome taster, Velodrome and BMX taster, and Velodrome Flying Lap. The discount is valid until 31 March using the code ‘TFL20' here. When they arrive, one person from each party must show proof of having travelled using the TfL network using TfL Oyster and the Contactless app.
Theatre Tokens
In December, TfL and Official London Theatre began offering a ten percent discount on Theatre Tokens, which hundreds of people have taken up during the Official London Theatre's New Year sale. It enables passengers to book top theatre shows such as Wicked, Disney's The Lion King and Mrs. Doubtfire ar prices between £10 to £50.
Other attractions
TfL continues to work with Merlin Entertainments, which offers TfL customers a thirty percent discount at top London attractions until March, including Shrek's Adventure!, Madame Tussauds, London Dungeon, SEA LIFE London Aquarium.

Julie Dixon, TfL's Head of Partnerships and Customer Information, said: “We are delighted that our exclusive offers which now include the iconic Kensington Palace and Olympic Velodrome will offer Londoners and visitors travelling across the TfL network even more opportunities to enjoy more of our city for less.”
Justine Locker, Head of Kensington Palace, said: “We are thrilled to be launching this two-for-one offer for TfL customers to visit Kensington Palace for the first time, joining two other Historic Royal Palaces sites – the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace – to offer great value to our visitors. We especially look forward to welcoming everyone who travels on the TfL network to Kensington Palace during February half-term to walk in the footsteps of a young Queen Victoria and explore the magnificent State Apartments.”
Jeremy Northrop, General Manager at Lee Valley VeloPark, said: “We're excited to extend a 20 per cent discount to TfL customers on our exhilarating cycling experiences at Lee Valley VeloPark. Join us with TfL and gear up to experience the Olympic legacy at Lee Valley VeloPark where you can discover the excitement of cycling on these iconic cycling tracks.”
Sara Holt, Group Marketing Director at Merlin Entertainments, said: “We're so happy to continue our partnership with TfL and offer 30 per cent off at our four incredible central London attractions. From mingling with the stars during Awards season at Madame Tussauds London to discovering the wonder under the capital at SEA LIFE London Aquarium it's the best way to kick off 2024.”
