Transport for London (TfL) has joined forces with a number of London attractions to offer savings on visits to Historic Royal Palaces venues, Merlin Entertainments London attractions, Lee Valley VeloPark and West End shows.

Historic Royal Palaces is offering TfL customers two for one entry to three historic palaces in London when using the TfL network, including to Kensington Palace, as well as the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace. To qualify for the offer, one person from each party must show proof of travel via the TfL Oyster and Contactless app. TfL users can also enjoy a Velodrome experience on an Olympic track at Lee Valley VeloPark, which is offering TfL customers 20% off three taster sessions until 31 March.

In December, TfL and Official London Theatre launched a 10% discount on Theatre Tokens, which can be used to book shows such as Wicked, Disney’s The Lion King and Mrs Doubtfire.

The partnership with Merlin Entertainments offers TfL customers a 30% discount at attractions including Shrek’s Adventure, Madame Tussauds, the London Dungeon, and SeaLife London Aquarium.

Julie Dixon, TfL’s Head of Partnerships and Customer Information, said: “We are delighted that our exclusive offers which now include the iconic Kensington Palace and Olympic Velodrome will offer Londoners and visitors travelling across the TfL network even more opportunities to enjoy more of our city for less.”

Justine Locker, Head of Kensington Palace, said: “We are thrilled to be launching this two-for-one offer for TfL customers to visit Kensington Palace for the first time, joining two other Historic Royal Palaces sites – the Tower of London and Hampton Court Palace – to offer great value to our visitors. We especially look forward to welcoming everyone who travels on the TfL network to Kensington Palace during February half-term to walk in the footsteps of a young Queen Victoria and explore the magnificent State Apartments.”
