You can get a travelcard when you buy an Anytime train tickets , Off-Peak train tickets , Super Off Peak , Advance train tickets or Season train ticket (except Flexi Season ) to London on our website, SWR app or at your local station.

You can add London Travelcards to your SWR touch smartcard , making it easier for you to tap in and out across the capital.

Travelling outside the area covered by your Travelcard

If you have a Travelcard, then you are permitted to use any services within its Zones (subject to the time restrictions of the Travelcard). If you wish to travel beyond the Zones permitted by your Travelcard, then you can purchase a Boundary Zone ticket to or from the station outside of those Zones.

For example, if you have a 7-Day Zones 1 to 3 Travelcard and wanted to travel to Shepperton, you can buy a Boundary Zone 3 to Shepperton Day Return ticket from any staffed ticket office or from our self-service ticket machines. The train you are on does not need to call at a station within Zone 3 to be valid. Boundary Zone tickets can also be sold in the opposite direction (e.g. Shepperton to Boundary Zone 3).

London Museums & Attractions: 2 for 1 Offers

Many museums and galleries in London are free, but some ‘must see’ attractions charge an admission fee. This can add-up to quite a hefty sum if you plan to do some serious sightseeing.

If you want to save some money, there’s an easy way to get 2 for the price of 1 discounts at London tourist attractions.

2 for 1 vouchers with a Travelcard or train ticket

UK train companies run a promotion called ‘Days Out’. This is a 2 for the price of 1 admission deal for attractions in London and the UK.

There are three ways to get tickets to qualify for the 2 for 1 discounts in London:

1.Buy a One Day Travelcard from a train station

The  One Day Travelcard  is a transport pass giving you unlimited travel on the underground, overground, trains, DLR and buses in London.

To qualify for the 2 for 1 deals, you need to buy a One Day ‘paper’ Travelcard from a train station in London.

Travelcards from underground station ticket machines, TfL Visitor Centres or Travelcards loaded onto Oyster cards are not valid for the 2 for 1 offer . The ticket must have the National Rail logo on it to qualify.

• a zone 1-6 off-peak one day Travelcard is £15.90 ( £7.90 child)

Weekly or monthly ‘paper’ Travelcards have been phased out and are no longer available to buy from train stations.

2.Buy a train ticket to London

If you travel to London by train (including from Luton, Stansted and Gatwick airport), your paper ticket will qualify for the deal as long as it has a National Rail logo. You need to buy a return ticket.

Train tickets on the Heathrow Express are not valid . However, Elizabeth line tickets from Heathrow are valid .

Get 30% off train tickets with Railcard .

3.Buy a train ticket in London

If you live in London or travel to London by coach or car and don’t want to buy a Travelcard, you can buy a single train ticket. You don’t need to use it for travel but you need a valid train ticket for each day you use a 2 for 1 voucher.

If you are visiting London, buy two singles, one for the first day you use the 2 for 1 and another for the last day.

For example, a single ticket from Queenstown Rd to Vauxhall is £3.30 adult/ £1.65 child.

You can go to any train station ticket office and buy this ticket. You don’t need to go to Queenstown Rd station.

Please note that this is a bit of as cheat and some attractions won’t accept it the 2 for 1 deal. If you want to be 100% sure of getting the 2 for 1 deal or if you visit an attraction outside central London (zone 1), it’s advisable to have either:

• a train ticket to London,
• a paper One Day Travelcard, or
• a train ticket ‘ to’ the closest train station to the attraction. (e.g London Waterloo to Hampton Court)

Don’t put a single train ticket in the ticket barrier , you might not get it back! Show your train ticket to a station staff member who will open the barrier for you.

• 2 for 1 London attractions map
• Top free museums and galleries
• Discount tickets to attractions
• Attraction and sightseeing passes

Where can I buy a ‘paper’ Travelcard?

If the train station has an underground station as well, don’t buy your tickets there. Follow the signs for ‘Trains’ and go above ground. Buy your One Day Travelcard from the train station ticket office.

• What benefits do I get from a Season ticket? If you’re making the same journey regularly, you are likely to save both money and time by buying a Season ticket , compared with buying daily tickets. You can use a season ticket calculator to work out the savings. There’s a Season ticket for every kind of traveller, with Weekly , Monthly , Flexi-Season and Annual to choose from. If you buy an Annual Season ticket, you’ll get even more benefits from the  Annual Gold Card that you’ll receive, including rail travel discounts for your friends and family. You'll also get four-free off-peak c2c train tickets to use yourself or share with friends and family. You can find out more on our Annual Season ticket page . By purchasing your Season ticket on a c2c Smartcard, you’ll also be entitled to  Automatic Delay Repay  and have the chance to opt-in to our  Loyalty Scheme – racking up loyalty points each time you buy a ticket.  
• I haven’t had to use my Season ticket for a while; can I get a refund for the time I didn’t need it? You are unable to claim for an intermediate period of non-use for your season ticket and we are unale to extend the end date of a Season ticket. We may allow, for example, in cases of illness, the refund to be backdated if you produce suitable documentary evidence for a period before you hand in your ticket, provided that you have not started travelling again using your Season ticket since your illness. Your rights and responsibilites around refunds are detailed in the National Rail Conditions of Travel  
• I no longer need my Weekly or Monthly Season ticket; will I receive a refund? If you stop travelling and no longer need your Season Ticket , you can hand it to the ticket office where you bought it. Any refund is calculated from the date the Season Ticket was handed in and will be the difference between the price you paid and the cost of a ticket or tickets for the period for which you have actually used the ticket. An administration charge of up to £10 may also be deducted from the refund amount. There must be at least seven days remaining on a Monthly Season Ticket to obtain a refund.
