No such thing as a 3 day pass sorry chap.

Also the travel cards are issued typically in consecutive zones
e.g. 1+2,

If your travelling kensington high street to kings cross you are zone 1 only.

try looking on TFL website.

Personally i would just use either oyster prepay or get a weeks travel card

1 week travel card would be £30 using prepay at peak rate over 3 days would cost about £12. this only works with single journeys in zone 1

Keep it simple just go to the TFL website and get your self a prepay card, much easier to do before you come to london, then setup auto topup linked to your debit card.

Use an Oyster card. It charges you the single fares for your journeys until you reach the amount you'd pay for a daily travel card, then stops. If you make only a couple of journeys, it's cheaper than the one-day card.

Whatever you do, don't buy it on line or with a credit card. All your journeys are monitored! Buy one for cash at the first station you go to, and pay cash at any machine in any station to top it up. If you get it right, you'll be left with nothing on it at the end of the day. Also, it's the fastest way through the stations as all now have auto barriers for Oyster cards. Put it in your wallet close to the edge, and all you need do is pass your wallet across the reader - no need to get it out of the wallet. If you are carrying a bag, put it in the bottom and pass the bag over the reader - easy peasy!

Have fun in the big smoke! :thumbsup:

I'm staying in SMOG central for my fun whilst her indoors is off to the Big Smoke to see an old codger by the name of Manilow

Thanks for the above info

Honestly just get it online, your already monitored within 6 feet by carrying a mobile phone.

But check as prepay is not allways cheaper
