Do you mean where you were born?0 -
No, when. Why would your place of birth be relevant?

But he's referring to the link in the OP, which mentions that, 'The qualifying age for the Freedom Pass varies depending when you were born, but if you're aged 60 or over and live in London you can now get a 60+ London Oyster photocard for free travel on bus, Tube, tram, DLR and most rail services in the capital.'0 -
As the MSE article says, http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/over-fifty-pension-checklist#freebies the free-to-join Diamond Club gives discounts at certain pubs and hotels, for the over 50s.
