Although I'd cheerfully listen to alternatives.


Right there are two real alternatives to your suggestion.

The first is to simply buy a 7 day Travelcard for Zones 1-3. This
depends on how willing you are to make a slight financial loss compared
to the cost of the individual tickets. Personally this is what I would
do but then I value the avoidance of queuing for tickets and having a
ride at will ticket quite highly - I'd typically do something like this
if I was in a foreign city. You can buy all the day tickets in advance
if you wish but I'd choose a quietish ticket office to do it at -
Victoria Tube Station in the morning is perhaps not that place unless
you find the smaller office near the District Line!

snip lots of useful info

Paul, many thanks for your response.

I think we'll go for the 7 day travel card. Like you, I prefer to have
a ticket up front and not have to buy more on the subsequent days. And
of course, if we end up somewhere very late, (I believe tickets are
valid 'til 0430 the next day?) then we still have a valid ticket for
the journey
