London Visitor Pass
Has anyone bought one of these? It seems like a good deal if you are going to see a lot of stuff but you have to buy it befor going if you want the "free" travel card.
I have found a site that sells the travel card separate and was wondering if I should just buy it and then wait for the Visitor pass until we get there.
Any advice out there?

Whenever I have gone to London, I just purchased a one-day or weekend Travelcard, depending upon my needs, from the fare card machines at a London Underground station. I have never used the London Visitor Travelcard, nor have I considered the London Pass that includes, in its price, free admission to numerous museums and other attractions.

I have purchased the Visitor Travel Card twice. It's for the underground and the busses and includes several rebate coupons. I'm not sure that it is more than just a little cheaper than buying one-day travel cards but it is easier since one can choose between 1,2,3,4 and 7 days. Must be bought from British Tourism in your home country.
