Your best option are One Day Travelcards.

You can use them from 09:30 Monday to Friday and any time weekends.

They come as zones 1-2, 1-4, 1-6. best for you is 1-4 costing £4.70.

If you are arriving and departing from London Heathrow, get a 1-6 zone card
£5.40 (unless you are only doing one journey).

You don't say who you have contacted already.

They can issue Visitor Travelcards for zones 1- 6 from 2 - 7 days.

http://www.londontransport.co.uk/tfl...avelcard.shtml

If this doesn't work, there is no problem buying Travelcards when you get to
London (but you can't buy Visitor Travelcards when you get here!). You will
need One day Travelcards (much cheaper than a 7 day card for your stay).

You can buy them from Tube station ticket offices, most Ticket Stops*,
London Travel Information Centres and National Rail stations. Also available
(not always the full range) from self-service ticket machines at Tube
stations.

* Ticket stops are small shops, such as newsagents, which also sell a range
of tickets. Usually found near bus stops - look for distinctive yellow
advertising on the window.

One day Travelcards for zones 1-4 cost £4.70 if you don't need to travel
before 0930 on the 6th & 7th (valid all day Saturday.)

They will cost you £7.30 on Thursday and Friday if you want to start using
them before 0930.

http://www.londontransport.co.uk/tfl...ards-day.shtml

You can buy your cards for the following day in advance - you might be able
to buy all three at the same time if you ask.

I hope you find this useful. Enjoy tour stay in London!

Why can't you buy one as soon as you arrive? They do sell them here in
London, you know!

I think he's after a Visitors TravelCard, not a standard one.

Visitor Travelcards cannot be bought in London - overseas visitors have
to purchase them in their own country.

Roman,

click on the following link as this gives lots of info concerning
visitor travelcards. There is info on prices and overseas agents
including one in Vienna which should be handy for you.

http://www.transportforlondon.gov.uk...rd.shtml#where

There is also a link to some sightseeing information.

If you cannot get a Visitor Travelcard then simply buy a One Day
Travelcard at any Tube Station or from Ticket Stops for each day you
wish to travel. You will find lots of info on the Transport for London
website www.transportforlondon.gov.uk

This is very true, but are they so much cheaper than an ordinary Zones
1-4 ODTC?

VTCs are either 2-zone or 6-zone and are for 3, 4 or 7 days.

Whether or not there is much difference in price depends on exchange
rates and on what price the overseas agent is asking.

The first example I found on Google was a 3-day 2-zone VTC for 23 US
dollars. That's 12.97 UKP, compared with 15.90 if you bought three ODTCs
in London - plus the VTC comes with vouchers for reduced admission
charges at various attractions.

So, there's a small saving to be had.

Apologies for posting this again but, due a lousy bit of cut-and-pasting on
my part, the original post may only appear to have the Vienna address (at
the top - in splendid isolation!) and the bulk of the message can easily be
overlooked - judging from subseqent posts, this has already happened!
