Good Afternoon
My family and i are coming up in the half term and very excited. We’re staying with family in Claygate and will be taking the train in throughout our 5 day visit. My children have blue peter badges which they proudly received back in September 2023. Our understanding is that they can enter “The Tower of London” for free, can my husband and i book to come with the trains 2 for 1 offer? I look forward to hearing from you.
From a very rainy Cornwall
Kind regards
Charlotte Britten
Hi Charlotte, thanks for getting in touch with Topdogdays regarding your query about the Tower of London. To take advantage of the Blue Peter free child entry offer, badge holders must present a valid badge card & proof of age at the ticket kiosks on the day and must be accompanied by a full paying or concessionary adult. You cannot pre-book tickets with the Blue Peter Badge offer where your party will be be admitted to the next available timeslot (subject to availability). I like your thinking but unfortunately you cannot combine the Blue Peter badge offer with the 2 for 1 offer if you travel by train. Have a great trip to London, all the best, Liz

It would be a rather nice gesture if complementary tickets could be obtained by military veterans, ( rather than just 30% discount) with similar arrangements as offered by Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.

Unfortunately we at Topdogdays are not involved in the running of these London attractions and can offer advise our readers on current deals and discounts running, Liz
