Hi everyone,
I have done my research and read RS books, this website, etc. and still have questions about what tube pass to get. Sorry to all the regulars here if this question gets old, but I love to get the expertise of fellow travelers. Anyway, here goes.. we will be arriving in London to Gatwick on sept. 3 and leaving London (also from Gatwick where we pick up our rental) on the 7th. So, we will have about 4.5 days in London. I am sure that we will do a bit of walking, but want to be able to use the tube when we want to use it. I am not sure if we should get a 3 day travel card, a 7 day travel card or an Oyster card. Also, I am not sure which zones to get. I believe we will mostly be in zones 1 and 2, but may want to get adventurous and travel outside those areas. Also, if we buy a travel card or Oyster card can we use those to get to and from Gatwick to Victoria Station? Another consideration is that I found a package online which includes a 3 day travel card plus admission to the Tower of London, the London Eye and an Original bus tour for $124, all of which were on our list of to dos anyway. I appreciate any advice to help me get this sorted out.
