Hi,

Just wondering if someone can help me, we are going to London tomorrow and I know my youngest child (8) travels free but what about my eldest (12)- I've found conflicting info ...

Thanks

5-10 year olds need a zip oyster card for free travel - you cannot get one in time for tomorrow.
11-15 year olds do not get free travel on the tube but do on busses and trams but again need a zip oyster card to get it

5-10 year old does not need a Zip Oyster if accompanied by fare paying adult.

The 12 year old can benefit from "Young Visitor Discount", whereby the discount is added to a standard Oyster card and is valid for 14 days.

Too late for you now, but if you have a friends and family railcard you can buy a days tube ticket using that for you and eldest child.
