In the case of London, they will be rare. *You can get a bank card at
11, and under 12s travel free on London public transport.

All under 12s or just those resident in London? (Or even some further
restriction - e.g. only those at state schools in London?)

Ah, my mistake: the free travel on tubes is only when accompanied by
an adult. For unaccompanied travel, although it's free for under-16s
on buses and trams, you have to pay (capped at £1.30 a day for off-
peak) for the tube, with a child oyster which is available to all.
You have to be living in a London borough to get that extended to 18.
