The popular London Pass includes entry to more than attrac- tions. Many have a strong connection to the Royal family and the lives of Britain's best-loved princesses. Visit Kensington Palace, home of Princess Diana, which is cur- rently hosting the exhibit, Diana: Her Fashion Story, until February 28, 2018. Or how about West- minster Abbey, the historic coronation church of the British Royal family since the 11 th century, where Queen Eliz- abeth II was crowned in 1953? Perhaps Windsor Castle or the Tower of London are more intriguing. Entry to all is included with the London Pass. A one-day London Pass costs £62 per adult and £42 per child. Two-, three-, six- and 10-day passes are also available. londonpass.com LONDON PASS
