All the stations 'outside fare zones' on the London Underground map and what that means

No, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay fares!

One of the most recent additions to the London Underground map and its sister London Tube and Rail network map is the phrase ‘outside fare zones’. It appears around National Rail stations beyond Greater London which are not in Travelcard zones 1-9. Previously Transport for London (TfL) used the phrase ‘special fares apply’ to describe these stations but the new phrase makes the boundary clearer.

You cannot use Oyster cards at most stations ‘outside fare zones’ and each one tends to have a unique set of fares. At these stations, paper tickets can often remain cheaper than contactless if you have a railcard or want to travel on child or super off-peak fares as these cannot be applied to contactless cards .

MyLondon explains the specific rules at each ‘outside fare zones’ stations so that you can make the quickest and most affordable journey when travelling to and from the capital.

Join the Mind The Gap group

We've created a Facebook group for people who travel on London's bus, rail, Underground, Overground and DLR services.

We will keep you informed about the latest news that affects your daily commute to work, as well as at the weekend.

We'll also let you know in advance if there are any roadworks, railworks or closures you should know about, or if there are any problems on the city's tube network.

Watford Junction

Watford Junction is in a hidden fare zone all on its own. As the Hertfordshire town has three other stations with TfL services (Watford, Croxley and Watford High Street) and most people travelling into London from the station use London Northwestern Railway instead, fares are set at a special rate.

You can use Oyster, contactless cards or paper tickets here but you cannot use Avanti West Coast or Caledonian Sleeper services between Euston and Watford Junction regardless of ticket type as those services only stop at Watford Junction to take people to and from destinations in the North and Scotland. It is for this reason that these services do not appear on any TfL maps.

Note that at Watford High Street station, the next station south on the London Overground, off-peak fare capping starts from 9.10am instead of the usual 9.30am if travelling into London meaning you can get a cheaper ‘head start’ by starting your journey there. (The initial single journey will still be charged the peak fare though).

St Albans City, Harpenden, Luton Airport Parkway, Brookmans Park, Welham Green, Hatfield and Welwyn Garden City

At these stations, you cannot use Oyster - only contactless or paper tickets. This means if you have a railcard, need a child ticket or are looking to travel using a Thameslink/Great Northern super off-peak/GroupSave ticket, it could be cheaper for you to go to a ticket machine or manned counter and purchase a paper ticket from there instead.

Super off-peak, where cheaper tickets are available, applies to any train arriving in Central London after 10am on weekdays, any train departing Central London between 10am and 4.30pm or after 7pm on weekdays and any train all day on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. With a Super Off-Peak ticket you can travel to the almost 2000 year old historic market and cathedral city of St Albans , home to England’s oldest pub and newest forest .

Radlett, Potters Bar, Cuffley, Bayford, Hertford North, Broxbourne, Rye House, St Margarets, Ware and Hertford East

These stations also have super off-peak as stated above, but you can use Oyster too, meaning they get the best of both worlds! You can add a Travelcard season ticket to your Oyster card for travel beyond Zone 9, to and from Broxbourne, Rye House, St. Margarets, Ware and Hertford East.

It is generally cheaper to travel between Hertford North and Zone 1 than Hertford East and Zone 1 if you are travelling with Oyster or contactless.

Brentwood, Shenfield, Iver, Langley, Slough, Burnham, Taplow, Maidenhead, Twyford and Reading

These stations are served by TfL Rail (soon to be the Elizabeth line ) although the fares are set by Greater Anglia or Great Western Railway, whose trains also serve these stations. At all stations you can use contactless or paper tickets. At Brentwood and Shenfield, you can use Oyster but at stations between Iver and Reading you cannot. In both circumstances, if you have a railcard or are looking to buy a GroupSave ticket it could be cheaper for you to buy a paper ticket.

At Twyford (9.10am), Maidenhead (9.18am) and Slough (9.20am), off-peak capping starts a few minutes earlier than the usual 9.30am window, although if you touch in with your contactless card before 9.30am your initial journey will still be charged a peak fare.

Ockendon, Chafford Hundred Lakeside, Purfleet and Grays

These stations are in a hidden zone of their own roughly equivalent to Watford Junction’s fares, making them a sort of ‘de-facto Zone 10’. You can use contactless, Oyster or paper tickets here. On weekends and bank holidays, c2c (the train operator at these stations) offers super-off peak tickets all day, meaning it can often be cheaper to buy a paper ticket if travelling to or from them.

The many TfL red London bus services that operate in this area have completely normal, standard fares in line with the rest of London, such as the Hopper fare (£1.65 from March).

Merstham, Redhill, Earlswood, Salfords, Horley and Gatwick Airport

You can use contactless, Oyster or paper tickets here. These stations also have super off-peak although times vary so you should check journey planners to see if they are available for when you are travelling . If you are travelling between Victoria and Gatwick Airport, do check whether or not you are taking a Gatwick Express train as if you are, the fare is significantly more expensive regardless of ticket type. Thameslink is almost always the cheapest option and you can travel in first class at the rear of each train for added comfort even with a standard paper ticket, contactless or Oyster.

London Transport Zones

London is divided into 1–9 zones*, but most of it fits into zones 1–6. Central London is zone 1, zone 2 is the ring around zone 1, zone 3 is the ring around 2 and so on.

*zones 7,8 and 9 cover a small area just outside North West London including Watford, Croxley Green, Rickmansworth, Amersham or Chalfont & Latimer.

It’s important to be aware of London’s transport zones and to find out what zone a station is in. Ticket prices for One Day, Weekly or Monthly Travelcards or the money deducted from a Pay as you go Oyster card or contactless card can vary considerably according to how many zones you travel through.

The zones do not apply to bus travel . You can travel by bus all over London (zones 1–6) with any Travelcard.

First time visitor to London? See our guide to London’s transport tickets

London zone map

You can see the zones on a tube map, coloured in either white or grey.

View a standard PDF version of the tube map
If you stay in a part of London that is not on the tube network, see the National Rail services map (pdf) to find the zone for your closest train station.

What London transport zones do I need?

Find the closest underground or train station to your accommodation. Then find the zone of the station you want to travel to. If you’re visiting London for sightseeing or to shop this will probably be zone 1.

When you know the zones you need to pay for, what you do depends on the type of ticket/pass you buy:

Weekly or monthly Travelcards

You buy a Travelcard that covers all the zones between where you stay and where you want to visit/your regular final destination. For example:

if you stay in Shepherd’s Bush (zone 2) and plan to visit central London (zone 1), you need a zone 1-2 Travelcard.
If you stay in Wimbledon (zone 3) and travel to/from central London, you need a zone 1-3 Travelcard.

Pay as you go Oyster card

If you use a Pay as you go Oyster card , top-up your card with enough money to either pay for a single journey for the zones you travel through or add enough money to cover the cost of the ‘daily cap’ if you want unlimited travel for the day.

Contactless

With a contactless card, you do not have to worry about the zones as the system will calculate the fare for you the next day. Remember to always touch in and out on the tube or local trains (with the same card!) to ensure you are charged the correct amount.

How to pay for transport outside your normal transport zone

There may be occasions when you need to travel outside the zones on your weekly or monthly Travelcard.

The procedure is slightly different if you have a Travelcard loaded on an Oyster card, or a paper Travelcard:

Travelcards on an Oyster card

If you already have a weekly Travelcard for certain zones and want to visit a place outside that zone, top-up your Oyster card with some Pay as you go money to cover the cost of travelling between the last zone on your Travelcard and the zone you want to visit.

For example, if you have a zone 1-2 weekly Travelcard and you want to visit Richmond in zone 4, you need to add extra money to your Oyster to cover the fare for zones 3 and 4.

See Oyster single fares to find a fare. You can add extra money to your Oyster card at a tube station ticket machine.

Paper Travelcards

If you have a paper version of the Travelcard, you need to buy an extension ticket from the underground station ticket machine.

Stations in two zones

Some stations are on the border of two zones. These stations have a white box around their name on the tube map. Tickets to these stations are slightly different.

For example:

Earl’s Court tube station is in zone 1/2. If you stay in Earl’s Court and take the tube to any other station in zone 1 (central London), you pay the zone 1 single fare with a pay as you go Oyster or contactless card.
If you travel from Earl’s Court to Heathrow (zone 6), the single fare is charged from zone 2 to zone 6, not from zone 1-6.
ABBA Arena is in zone 2/3. From zone 1, you pay the zone 1-2 fare. If you are staying in outer London and are travelling to the stadium without travelling through central London (zone 1), you pay the the fare to zone 3.

How to save money on travel to central London from zones 2-6

A major benefit of the Travelcard is that it’s valid on the buses for the whole of London, regardless of the zones you buy.

If you stay in zones 2-6 and want to travel to zone 1 (central London) a good money-saving tip is to buy a weekly or monthly Travelcard excluding zone 1 , but including zone 2. You can then take the tube/train to the zone 2 station close to zone 1 and then use the bus to travel to and around zone 1.

This only works with a weekly or monthly Travelcard, but you will save a money.

If you stay in zone 5, a zone 1-5 weekly Travelcard is £73.00 .
A zone 2-5 weekly Travelcard is £42.50 , saving you £30.50 a week
A zone 1-5 monthly Travelcard is £280.40
A zone 2-5 monthly Travelcard is £163.20 a saving of £111.70 a month

Hello. We are traveling to the HP studio tour tomorrow. We are staying by the Queen's Park station and have been using the travel cards in order to use the 2 for 1 deals. I am trying to figure out my ticket. The zone map makes it look like it is in zone 9. However, the travel card options say "zone 1-9 plus Watford Junction." Can anyone clarify? Thank you.

Paging Mr hornets, Mr adamhornets, your experise is requsted.

I think Watford Junction station is just outside the TfL zones, hence the 'zones 1 - 9 plus Watford Junction' indication on the Underground map.

Have you got paper Travelcards in hand now, or have you been buying one day cards as necessary? How many adults and how many children under age 16 are travelling? Let us know a bit more, please.

It's not in Zone 9, it's in Zone W - in fact it's the only station in Zone W.

If you already have a Zone1-2 travel card you *may* be cheaper getting extension fares from Boundary Zone 2 to/from Watford Jn. Ask at the counter.

Thanks to you both for such prompt replies. There are four in our family but the kids are over 16. We have not bought our Travel Cards for tomorrow yet. I will ask about extension fares.

Have a look at the thread below and adamhornets answer (post 2) to this Watford Junction/Oyster question

http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g186338-i17-k5390994-Watford_Junction_to_HPotter_Travelcard_and_OysterPayayougo-London_England.html#40634893

Coming back you may want to take a fast train to Euston should your plans see you in central London later. Mention this to the clerk.
