Booking London tourist attractions

Please can anyone advise of the best/ most economical way to approach this? Google has plenty of suggestions but I know many of them are sponsored ads. We know we want to visit Tower of London, the Dungeons etc but would be grateful for any recommendations. Thank you!

Are you travelling by train? If so you could see what attractions are taking part in this 2 for 1 offer?

If not, some offer a discount if you book in advance eg London Dungeon, London Zoo. If you're skint, keep an eye out for an added donation which magically appears sometimes eg at the Tower, some art galleries- they will quote it as the standard price but not mind if you decline it.

It's going to differ for each attraction.
The Tower does £1 tickets for people on certain benefits

There's also a London Pass that some Tourists use. Seems quite expensive but you might get your money's worth if you're doing a lot:-

National Rail also offers reductions if you have a train ticket:-

Get your guide is good or if you are in any discount scheme's for work, blue light card or discount for teachers sometimes you can save money using them or sometimes cereal boxes have 2 for 1 tickets on them or free child places

Thank you so much everyone! No rail tickets as we’re travelling from NI. Really appreciate your help.

The 241 rail deals take any kind of train ticket. It could work out cheaper if you buy a train ticket from a suburban station z(say Balham to London bridge) - you can pick up print tickets from any station, so you don’t actually have to do the journey. Don’t know if it would work out but just a thought. MSE blog is also great for deals, eg kids week Theatre in July/Aug has deals for free child tix.

However, deals very rare for London zoo. Always pricey, but you can take own food and drink which saves a lot.
