New coronavirus secure guidance for the hospitality sector means businesses and tourist attractions can re-open in England from 4 July, with some exceptions. Tourist attractions forced to close during the lockdown are putting social distancing measures in place and are preparing to reopen.

Most of our suppliers are putting social distancing and safety measures in place and are preparing to re-open in England from 4 July. 

As our suppliers ready themselves for visitors we will begin to add booking options throughout our website. If an attraction is available to book you can be confident that they are open and all measures are in place for the best possible experience.

Know Before You Go with VisitBritain:

Britain is beginning to re-open, but it’s important to check the official websites of organisations and attractions in advance, to ensure you’re up to date on opening hours and any measures in place before you travel. To find out the latest information and guidance, visit Know Before You Go.

The impact of the coronavirus and the measures in place to tackle it are making it increasingly difficult to provide mail services to all destinations. A growing number of postal authorities are no longer accepting inbound mail and flights are no longer available to some countries. For this reason, our standard delivery services have temporarily been suspended. Express services remain available for the time being. For further details, please reach out to our customer service team.

We are working through these as swiftly as possible and we do ask for your patience as it can take up to 20 working days for this to be processed and for the funds to appear in your account.

Any bookings that are made in GBP on our site and then refunded into local currencies will be made at the corresponding exchange rate at that time, which is subject to variation. We always refund GBP purchases in GBP, unfortunately if this is being reimbursed to your local currency account, we are unable to affect the exchange rate at the time.

All refunds are automatically processed back onto the original payment card. If your card has expired, or you have closed your account, providing either another account was opened with the same bank or a switch service was implemented, the refund will still be processed. It can however take longer for the money to reach your account, please allow for a minimum of 14 days once your refund has been processed. This time is dependent on your bank or card provider.

If you purchased additional tickets or made changes to an existing booking, the different amounts will appear as separate transactions when refunded back to your card or account. If after 14 days of receiving your refund confirmation you have still not received the correct amount, please contact us

We are experiencing a high volume of emails. A member of the Visitor Services team will respond as soon as possible however, please expect a delay in our response as we work through our correspondence. For the well-being of our staff, we have taken the decision to close our London offices with the team working from their homes to support our global customer base. As a result, we are no longer able to accept calls.
