Help with 2 for 1 offers in London
 
Hi All,

I am trying to print 2 for 1 offers for London on the below site

http://www.daysoutguide.co.uk/top-10...r1-offers.aspx

but the site is having some technical issues so I am unable to print these offers.
I contacted them regarding this and they sent me the vouchers via email where I need to fill the data with the attraction name.

I wanted to ask you is it ok if I print multiple copies of them in United Stated and fill them once I am in London. Also, where can I get the list of attractions in London which are giving 2 for 1 offers?

If they sent you blank vouchers and told you to fill them in -- it doesn't matter <i>where</i> you do that.

Yes, you can print out as many vouchers as you want and fill them in if/when you need them. :) You can get the list of attractions and vouchers from train stations (I have personally seen them at Victoria and Charing Cross, but all train stations should have them).

you know.. I found it all a bit confusing.. plus I didn't have a printer.. however.. we were able to easily use the 2 for 1 offer once in London. We simply purchased a one day travel card ( good for all day bus or tube travel) for 8.60 GBPs .. ( so 17.20 total) and this is the key.. you must purchase this from a TRAIN station, not just a tube station. We then simply asked for the brochure for the 2 for 1 and the brochure had the vouchers on the back page. We filled it in and went to the Tower of London( by tube.. and remember a one way ticket is about 4 GBPS alone) and saved OVER 20 GBPs there. The passes pay for themselves at an expensive site like that ,,even if you don't use them for transport( but we did use them three times that day.. so we came out way ahead!)

Anyways..I likely have missed a detail.. but rest assured they are easy to get and use once there so don't stress out about it too much!

<i>you must purchase this from a TRAIN station</i>

To be nitpicking it's a train station operated by a UK Train Operating Company or Network Rail rather than London Underground or London Overground. You can find out which is which via the following site

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/statio...s/default.aspx

For example, London Victoria is run by Network Rail - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/VIC/details.html

Clapham Junction by South West Trains - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/CLJ/details.html

but Clapham High Street is run by London Overground - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/CLP/details.html

and West Brompton by London Underground - http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/WBP/details.html

Also realise that if arriving by train (Not Heathrow Express, Connect or Eurostar) into central London then your train ticket gives eligibility for the offers on that day - and if you have a train ticket leaving London you have eligibility between the dates on your tickets (use a manned exit barrier as you need the ticket to claim the offer)
