Cost of a TravelCard with 2-4-1 and map of the Zones with related costs

Can anyone tell me how to figure out the cost of a one-day travelcard with 2-4-1 and a 7-day for the same? Also, I would like to find a zone map and the cost for each zone option. Thank you

Thank you. However, the map does not show the boundaries of each zone. Any idea where I can find a map like that? Thanks

Look again. The boundaries are marked by an alternating white and light grey background on the map.

You might look at getting an Oyster card to pay as you go. The maximum you pay is what a daily travel card would be each day and then for the week you pay no more than you would for a weekly pass covering the same zones. So if you don't cross into the more expensive zones and you have an Oyster you pay less daily than if you had to guess where you would be and buy a travel card. Also any value left on the oyster card is refundable at any staffed tube station when you are leaving.

The weekly cap on Oyster only applies for a Monday-Sunday calendar week (as it's intended to help London residents who travel regularly rather than tourists). If you aren't staying from Monday to Sunday, a seven-day Travelcard will be cheaper.

An Oyster Card will not give the 2-4-1 discounts mentioned in the title, so I believe they really do want a Travelcard. Blake sure it is a paper Travelcard and take some passport-sized photos (or get them there in a photo booth) as they are required.

"Blake sure it is a paper Travelcard "

Also, you have to buy it from a National Rail station (not tube) to be valid for the 2 for 1's.
