    If she wants a Day Travelcard she should just buy it at a Tube or railway station in London, from either the ticket office or ticket machine - the cost is £8.90 for the zones 1-6 Off-peak version (valid any time after 0930 on weekdays, or at any time at weekends, until 0430 the next day). The Off-peak zones 1&2 and 1-4 versions were withdrawn from sale at the beginning of this year (January 2014).

    If she has a contactless debit or credit card then it'd be better for her to use that (and quite possibly cheaper too) - when using the Tube, she'd need to 'touch in' using the contactless card at the start of the journey and then 'touch out' at the end, when using buses she'd just need to 'touch in' when she boards the bus.

    Otherwise she might want to consider getting an Oyster card, especially if she's travelling around London for more than one day.
    thanks, would you not get this before she goes, as she needs 2 days http://www.visitbritainshop.com/worl...ravelcard.html
