TfL Travelcards

Options
I live in London and I'm finding it impossible to work out what the best travelcard deal is for me. I live and work outside of the central zones, but obviously need to travel into town every now and then.
Is there some sort of online help for this? A website or something. Does anyone know?

    Have you found the TFL website? I'd guess the answer might be a combination of travel card for regular use locally and Oyster card for travel into the centre (I have one and I don't even live in London!) but it might be just Oyster card.

    Have you asked at your local station / tube station? They are often fairly helpful.

    And this might be answered already on the Motoring and Public Transport board.

    Hello LondonN.

    I've just moved into London myself, and am having similar problems, but I'm told that the Oyster card automatically works out the cheapest ticket you need when it charges you after a journey. I don't think it considers things like 7-day discounts, but I do know that there's a major discount to Tube and bus fairs using Oyster. I'd look into it.
