Default Ticketing in London - a noob asks.

Afternoon.

Three of us are coming down to London on the 7th September (Arrive on
the 8th at 6.15am - Victoria coach station) from there we're going to
Hornsey then around and about zones 1-3 until Monday when we need to be
back at Victoria for 12.30.

From looking at the tfl website, I think my best option for tickets is:


Friday : Peak travelcard zone 1-3 £7.20
Saturday: Off peak travelcard zone 1-4 £5.40
Sunday: Off peak travelcard zone 1-4 £5.40
Monday: Peak travelcard zone 1-3 £7.20 *or* Off peak travelcard zone
1-4 £5.40 depending on when we leave Hornsey.

Can anyone offer anything better? It seems like a lot of tickets to buy
- can they all be bought when we get to Victoria on the Friday morning?
If not, will Hornsey be able to sell us the relevant tickets?

The only constraint is that the two people I'm travelling with won't
have time for complex ticketing if there are shops that sell shoes to
visit!


Fundamental question - are you planning to use National Rail (Overground
in London parlance) services or just buses / tubes / dlr? This will
help determine the answer to your question.
