The short answer
Rogers lists the United Kingdom among the destinations of its International Travel Pass, sold for 3, 7, 14 or 30 days and charged on your next bill. I would buy Ringo Light for the same trip, since it costs much less, with unlimited data at full speed: $8.99 for 3 days, $14.99 for 2 weeks, $26.99 for 30 days. Rogers wins on the phone side: your own number, calls and texts, and nothing to install.
Unlimited data at full speed for 3 days at $8.99, 2 weeks at $14.99 or 30 days at $26.99, one payment, nothing renews. The Rogers pass is C$45, C$100 or C$120 for the same 3, 14 or 30 days.
The pass lets your own Rogers plan work in the UK, so calls and texts reach your own number, nothing needs installing, and the charge lands on a bill you already pay. A phone with no eSIM slot works too. Ringo Light is data only.

Rogers Travel Pass vs Ringo Light in one paragraph
For data in the UK, I found Ringo Light costs a fraction of the Rogers pass at every length. A fortnight is $14.99 against C$100 (about $72), a month is $26.99 against C$120 (about $86), and a long weekend is $8.99 against C$45 (about $32). The pass wins on convenience, and that is a real win: your own number keeps ringing, texts arrive as usual, nothing is installed, and the cost sits on the Rogers bill you already pay. If you want the phone to behave exactly as at home, the pass does that. If you mainly want maps, messages and video without watching an allowance, my pick is Ringo Light.
Price: the same trip at each
Rogers prices its International Travel Pass in Canadian dollars at C$45 for 3 days, C$75 for 7, C$100 for 14 and C$120 for 30, read 1 November 2026, and lists the United Kingdom among its destinations. The pages show no per-day international rate, so I compare the passes only. I converted the dollar figures at the European Central Bank reference rate of 30 October 2026, C$1 = $0.716.
I read Ringo Light's UK catalogue in US dollars, and the checkout shows the amount in the buyer's currency before paying. Trips are $8.99 for 3 days, $14.99 for 2 weeks and $26.99 for 30 days, one payment. I could not find a length where Rogers is the cheaper one. The gap on two weeks is $57.01, and on a month $59.01.
Data and speed at each
A Rogers Travel Pass has no data bucket of its own. Rogers' FAQ says it uses the data, talk and text amounts included in your plan, so what you can use in London is what your plan allows at home, and the pages state no general roaming speed on land. I would watch a small allowance, which runs out abroad just as it would in Toronto. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for the whole trip, which suits maps, ride apps, streaming and a laptop on the hotspot. Fair use policy, see Terms.
Calls, texts and your own number
This is the row I give to Rogers outright. With the pass the phone behaves as at home: your Canadian number rings, texts arrive, and verification codes sent to that number keep reaching you. Ringo Light is data only, so calls go over apps that use data, and your own SIM stays in the phone for calls, with your number staying on your own SIM next to it. If your bank texts a code to your Canadian number, leave your own SIM active whichever you choose.
Setup and billing
You can buy a Rogers pass up to 60 days early, then you set its start date in MyRogers before you travel. It starts at 12 a.m. Eastern on that date, and the charge appears on your next bill. The start time is Eastern, so I would think about it before landing in the UK. Ringo Light arrives by email after you pay and installs in one scan of the QR code. Do it at home on Wi-Fi, then switch the eSIM on for data when you reach Heathrow. Your phone must support eSIM; the pass has no such requirement.
What Ringo Light is, and what it is not
I write for Ringo, so weigh that. Ringo Light is its data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere. For the UK it sells three trips, all unlimited data at full speed: 3 days at $8.99, 2 weeks at $14.99 and 30 days at $26.99. One payment, nothing renews.
What it is not: it has no phone number, so it does not replace your Rogers service for calls and texts, and it needs a phone with an eSIM slot. Rogers is simpler and keeps everything on one bill, and I count that as a real point; Ringo Light is the lower price for the same time in the UK.
