Is the London Travelcard a 24h card?
If you have an Anytime Day Travelcard, you can use it from the very first minute of the day (00:01) until 4:29 a.m. the next morning.
For an Off-Peak Day Travelcard, you’ll need to wait until 9:30 a.m. on weekdays to use it. On weekends and public holidays, it’s valid all day long. Either way, just like the Anytime card, it’s good until 4:29 a.m. the next day.
Which transport services can I access with my Travelcard?
Your London Day Travelcard is valid on:
The London Underground (the Tube)

Overground and National Rail trains in London (except Heathrow Connect services between Hayes and Harlington and Heathrow, and the Heathrow Express, Gatwick Express and Stansted Express)
Southeastern high-speed rail services between St Pancras International and Stratford International

Off-peak fares are in place at all other times, and are also in place if you take a journey from a station outside Zone 1 to a station inside Zone 1 between 4:00 pm–7:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
Should I get a London Travelcard or a Visitor Oyster card?
Whether you should get a London Day Travelcard or a Visitor Oyster card depends on how long you’re staying in London and how frequently you’ll be using public transport. Here’s a quick comparison:
London Day Travelcard
Great for frequent use: the card covers unlimited travel in a set number of days and zones, so can be more cost effective than hitting the Oyster fare cap each day.
No need to top up: the London Day Travelcard is a fixed, upfront price, so there’s no need to worry about topping it up with more credit.

Visitor Oyster card
Your Visitor Oyster card is the most flexible way to get around London. It’s a pay-as-you-go card with daily fare caps, so you’ll never pay more than the daily maximum. You don’t need to plan your zones—just use the card and you’ll only be charged for the journeys you make.
Plus, it’s perfect for airport travel. You can use your card on the Heathrow Express and Gatwick Express.
The best part? It’s reusable. Keep it and top it up for future trips to London.

Travelling with a group of 10+? Choose the Group Day London Travelcard.
Can families or groups all use the same Travelcard?

No, each person must have their own London Travelcard, except under 11s who travel free with a paying adult (four children per one paying adult).
If you are travelling in London with a group of 10 or more people, you might want to consider buying a Group Day Travelcard.
I’m visiting a location outside of Zones 1-6. What ticket do I need?

London Day Travelcards bought on the VisitBritain Shop only cover Zones 1-6.
If your destination is in Zones 6-9, you can use a Visitor Oyster Card to reach them. For any location outside of Zones 1-9, you’ll need to purchase a direct train ticket at the station.
Can I use a London Day Travelcard on buses?

Yes, your London Day Travelcard can be used on any regular London bus operated by TfL, regardless of which zones you are travelling through.
London Day Travelcards are not valid on London Sightseeing buses or buses operated by companies other than TfL.
