2FOR1

2FOR1 is a deal where two people with a TRAVELCARD each, are able to enter over 150 top London attractions, restaurants, theatres, exhibitions and more for the price of one.
The Travelcard which is also good for unlimited travel on the public transport in London, can only be bought from a National Train Station such as Victoria, Paddington, and St Pancras etc. Please be aware – most National Rail stations have an underground station with the same name and they also sell Travelcards which are not valid for this deal.
As most attractions are in Central London, ask for zone 1-2 Travelcard stating that you would like to take advantage of the 2FOR1 deal. This should be especially stated when buying a weekly Travelcard. If you do buy a weekly Travelcard, make sure to bring a passport size photo with you. At the same time, take some vouchers from the station, which are included in the 2FOR1 brochure. As stations may run out of brochures it is highly recommended to print the desirable vouchers off the website.For a list of the 2FOR1 London’s attractions and printing vouchers for the attraction you want, enter – www.daysoutguide.co.uk/2for1-london
