TFL's Banck Account

I have the address of TRANSPORT FOR LONDON FINANCE LIMITED, which is 5 Endeavour Square, London, United Kingdom, E20 1JN.
I want to know how I go about obtaining their bank details i.e. Name and address of bank but particularly their Account No. and Sort Code.
How do I go about doing that?  is it as simple as a GDPR request?
Thanks in anticipation of a rapid reply.

    If you have a legitimate reason to want to pay them then they should be able and willing to tell you how.

    If you want those details for some other reason then it's unlikely that you'd be able to acquire them via any legal route - GDPR is irrelevant here.

    What's the rest of the story?
  • The same way anybody can find out the bank account details of any limited company - you contact them and ask them

    I doubt they have just one account. 
  • If you owe them any money you. do not need to know their bank account details

    You can pay any unpaid fare through your TfL online account or by phoning TfL on 0343 222 1234 (call charges apply). ''
    Just use any debit or credit card.

    GDPR applies to identifiable individuals, not organisations.  You may have GDPR/DPA confused with the Freedom of Information Act?
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?
