Re: cycling options, I am not averse to it at all, but I can't afford a roadworthy bike, even through a Cycle-to-work scheme. (Also I have a young baby and should probably seek a quicker and less energetic means of travel!)

Having a baby isn't a disability-in fact if you take more exercise you're likely to be fitter and have more energy so a plus for both you and baby. As for affording it-How about a Boris bike ?

Thanks to AP007 for pointing out that I can use a Zone 2-6 Travelcard on buses.

I only knew as a girl I worked with lived where I lived yet she got off at Bermondsey and that's zone 2 and jumped on a bus up to London Bridge were our office was and saved something like £60 a month doing it that way.

It's not advertised as I guess they expect you to know this and probably if it was the difference of just one stop the TFL people would just sell you a zone 1-6 ticket.

Another trick - look at London Overground.

I work in Zone 1 but instead of going to Kings Cross or Morning Croscent - I take overground and get off at Camden Rd and walk/bus it from there and do NOT pay for zone 1 travel :cool:

London Overground is great and covers big part of London - you can go from Stratford (East) to Richmond (west) and it does not cross zone 1 so you do not have to pay for zone 1.

Hope you find a way round this problem.

yeah never though of that one but it depends as all things does on where were coning from and going to

Friend of mine was doing the same - from Stratford to bermondsey on tube and from there to London Bridge on a bus and buying 2-3 travelcard only.

Very few people know they can use their travelcard in restricted zones on the tube but in ALL zones on the buses

Mornington Crescent that was of course not whatever I wrote above LOl

OP - where from (station) /where to (full post code, not just the station) will you need to travel when your comnay moves?

Knowing starting/finishing point we can work out a cheaper route for you perhaps?
