London travel cards for groups

VISITORS travelling on London’s transport network in groups can get a ‘seamless’ travel experience by buying Transport for London’s (TfL) Group Day #Travelcards online before they arrive in #London. 

Group Day Travelcards are available for groups of 10 or more people. They offer the opportunity to use a variety of different modes of transport when travelling in London and are available online for the first time.

By buying online from the TfL Visitor Shop, visitors travelling in groups can get their cards before their trip and start using them as soon as they arrive in London. The cost-efficient Group Day Travelcards are also available to buy from ticket machines at underground tube stations across London.

VisitBritain commercial director Carol Dray said: ‘Navigating a new city can be stressful, especially when you’re travelling in a large group, so we’re thrilled to be making this process easier by giving visitors the option to purchase their Group Day Travelcards online and begin exploring London’s fantastic sights from the moment they arrive. The Group Day Travelcard is a ‘must have’ pass for any large group travelling on London’s extensive transport network.’

The cards can be used after 9.30am weekdays as well as anytime at weekends and national holidays at the cheaper price of £8 per adult and £4 per child. This compares with £12.10 and £6 for individual adults and children with a standard Day Travelcard. Groups must travel together when using the card.

The cards are valid on underground trains, The Docklands Light Railway, London Overground, TfL Rail and most national rail services within London fare zones 1 to 6. They can also be used on all London buses.
