You could walk from Zone 1 to Zone 2. It’s only about 3 miles across. But that takes an hour. The Tube takes 12 minutes. Your leg muscles will thank you. Your wallet, less so.
A Travelcard for a week (Seven Day) is the real power move. It costs about £45.60. That’s cheaper than buying five single day tickets. Do the math. I did it. It works.
And if you’re a student? A child? An old person? Those Travelcards are absurdly cheap. A child’s Travelcard is like £8.00. That’s less than a cinema ticket. And adults pay full price. Such is life.

Also, a Travelcard lets you use the Thames Clippers river boat services? No, wait. That’s a separate ticket. But you can get a discount on river boat tickets with a Travelcard. So you save £1.50. You’re welcome.
