Want to go further out, like to visit that friend who moved “to get more space” and now lives near a giant Ikea? A Zones 1-6 Travelcard is a beast: about £75.40 a week or £263.40 a month. That’s almost the price of a mini-scooter. But remember, you can also use it on the DLR, Overground, and even some National Rail services within London. I used a Zone 1-6 card once to take a random train to Watford Junction, just because I could. I saw a cow. It was worth it.

Pro tip: If you only commute to Zone 3, don’t buy a Zone 1-6 card. That’s like buying a five-course meal when you only want a bag of crisps. Stick to the zones you actually use, or you’ll be paying for vistas you’ll never see.
