I haven't yet done the numbers, but I think the London Pass was at least a break-even, if you exclude the foolishness of the Zone 1-6 Travelcard. And it did give us an incentive to visit several small museums that we wouldn't have otherwise visited. However, trying to make good value out of that card is serious work, and I'm exhausted after more than 23,000 steps on the pedometer today.
There was a partial Tube workers strike today, shutting down service on the Central and Waterloo & City lines. I haven't found out yet whether it was a one-day strike or continuous. If the latter, we'll have to cancel our plan to go to the Epping-Ongar heritage railway; our plan was to make something of that Travel card and ride the Central out to Epping and then the heritage bus service to the steam railway and spend part of the day out there. I'll know more in the morning.
