What is a London Travelcard?

It is a card which allows travel on underground, bus, and local train services in an area of London for a day, a week, a month, or periods of up to a year. Weekend travelcards are valid for two days over a weekend, usually Saturday and Sunday, but on weekends where the Monday is a bank holiday you can also buy them covering the Sunday and Monday. Travelcards, charged at the monthly rate, can be made up for any period between a month and ten months - beyond this it becomes cheaper to buy an annual card. The travelcard is valid on local trains within the national railways system (the former British Rail), and on the Docklands Light Railway. The area it covers is defined by a number of 'zones' within London.

The London Underground is usually referred to as 'the tube'. It is never referred to as a subway, which in British usage describes an underground walkway (there is one exception to this in Glasgow, where 'subway' is occasionally used in its American sense).

What are these Travelcard Zones?

Zone 1 comprises Central London, and an area as far out as (for example) Earls Court to the West of London. Zone 2 is a doughnut-shaped area, around zone 1, stretching as far as (for example) Putney to the South West, Greenwich to the South East, and Hampstead to the North. Zone 3 is the next doughnut-shaped area, and so on until zone 6.

Any Travelcard is now valid for all London buses, even outside the zones that the card covers.

Most of London's attractions for visitors are in zone 1, as is most accommodation. In particular the Kensington area where many visitors stay is in zone 1. The whole of the Circle Line is in zone 1.

Heathrow airport is in zone 6. Gatwick and Stansted airports are outside the Travelcard area. Many maps and timetables have the zone boundaries marked on them.

The Metropolitan Line of the Underground has a few stations outside the Travelcard area. These are divided into groups, called A, B, C and D. So if you were to buy a Travelcard at Amersham covering all zones, it would be described as a Travelcard for zones 1-6 + ABCD.

If you know the name of a station, and want to know which zone it is in, look at this list.

Where can I buy a Travelcard?

You can get Travelcards from any Underground or national railways station with a staffed ticket office. In addition you can buy one-day Travelcards from ticket machines at stations. Many newsagents also sell one-day, and some other, Travelcards; they will display a sign advertising the fact.

You can also buy travelcards on line at http://www.ticket-on-line.co.uk/

You can buy a one-day travelcard up to four days before the date that it is to be used on
