On 26th May I will need to go from Heathrow to Central London. In the
same day I think to make a lot of journeys into Central London.
Can anyone suggest me the "perfect ticketing" for that day?
I have not Oyster

You do not mention the time of the day you are travelling but for
convenience and probably value for money you will need a Z1-6 Day
Travelcard or Z1-6 Off Peak Travelcard.



Can I travel with a five zones single ticket 2-6 (£ 2.40) and a day peak
travelcard 1-2 (£ 5.30)?
Can I go, with these tickets, from Heathrow to zone 1 without "strategic"
changes? Thanks to all.


I don't see why not as I am not aware of any restriction on combining
the tickets you want as they overlap at Zone 2. If anyone else thinks my
advice is wrong then please say so.

You will need to purchase your tickets at a ticket office at Heathrow
because the ticket vending machines almost certainly will not have the
Peak Z12 Day travelcard on them. I take it you are not returning to
Heathrow later in the day?


Wouldn't a four zone (3-6) single do just as well, even if the boundary
station (Turnham Green in this case) wasn't in both zones anyway?

If Heathrow won't/can't sell the combination of tickets you could always
buy a One Day LT Card GBP 8.20, valid Zones 1-6 without peak hour
restriction but valid on LT services (Underground, Buses and Croydon Trams)
only.
