Three historic Royal palaces have teamed up with Transport for London to offer customers two tickets for the price of one as part of the Mayor of London’s Let’s Do London tourism campaign.

The two-for-one offer applies to the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, and Kensington Palace and can be used seven days a week until the end of March except for the period 11th to 19th February. However, at Kensington Palace the discount can only be used until 5th February when the palace will close to prepare for a ‘Crown to Couture’ exhibition that opens on 5th April.

Three adults can make use of the offer in one transaction and must claim their tickets in person at the attractions’ ticket office. Visitors need to only show proof of travel via a TfL Oyster Card or TfL’s contactless app.

At Hampton Court Palace a new immersive installation ‘Permissible Beauty’ opens on 14th January that will explore how our ideas of beauty have changed through history. Seventeenth-Century portraits will be displayed alongside contemporary portraits of six leading figures in the Black Queer British community to examine shifting ideas of beauty.

At the Tower of London, visitors can view the Crown Jewels, whilst at Kensington Palace, expert guides are available for anyone wanting to learn more about the royals who have made the Palace their home.

Until the end of March except for the period 11th to 19th February, Transport for London also offers a 30 per cent for up to four people at five of Merlin Entertainments’ attractions – Shrek’s Adventure! London, Madame Tussauds London, London Dungeon, SEA LIFE London Aquarium and The lastminute.com London Eye. Visitors need to only show proof of travel via a TfL Oyster Card or TfL’s contactless app.

To take advantage of these offers visitors must book in advance online at http://londoneye.com/TfL using the code ‘CityOffer’. A typical saving would be for Shrek’s Adventure! London, where the cost for two adults and two children would cost £76.60, instead of £108.

Through partnering with some of London’s most popular attractions, Transport for London as part of the Mayor’s Let’s Do London campaign, aims to make public transport more appealing and encourage people to enjoy London’s attractions.

Julie Dixon, TfL’s Customer Director, said:“We’re really pleased that our exclusive two-for-one discount at Historic Royal Palaces is now available seven days a week, meaning even more of our customers can benefit simply by travelling on the TfL network. With many of us feeling the pinch after Christmas, these offers are a great way of enjoying a day out with your family or friends at some of London’s best attractions for less.”

Justine Simons OBE, Deputy Mayor, Culture and the Creative Industries, said:“Making London’s brilliant attractions affordable couldn’t be more important. So as part of the Mayor’s Let’s Do London campaign, TfL, Historic Royal Palaces and Merlin Entertainments have teamed up to offer discounted tickets. Londoners and visitors can enjoy more of our city for less as we continue to build a better, fairer, and more prosperous London for everyone.”

Kizzie Burkett, Marketing Manager at Historic Royal Palaces – the charity that cares for the Tower of London, Hampton Court and Kensington Palace – said:”We’re delighted to continue our partnership with TfL into 2023, helping to make our iconic palaces more affordable for Londoners as they travel around the city. Whether it is discovering the Crown Jewels, visiting Henry VIII’s Hampton Court Palace or exploring Kensington Palace – the childhood home of Queen Victoria – we look forward to giving TfL customers days out they’ll remember forever.”

Sara Holt, Merlin Entertainments Midway UK Sales and Marketing Director, said:“We are really pleased to continue our partnership with TfL and extend our offer of 30 per cent off at our five amazing central London attractions. What better way to beat the January blues than joining a host of famous faces at Madame Tussauds London or scaring yourself silly at the London Dungeon!”
