I am wondering if anyone knows if the 7 day visitors travelcard includes busses. I have searched their site, and while it mentions tube and DLR, no word about busses. I want to make sure I buy the right thing. we use mostly busses in London. Thanks for any information..

Travelcards are indeed valid on the buses, but since you asked, I would point out that there is a &quot;Greater London Bus Pass&quot; that will (eventually!) get you from Heathrow to Greenwich and everywhere in between - &pound;3 for one day or &pound;11 for seven days (&pound;3.50/&pound;13.50 from 6Jan). For traveling around within Central London, a bus is frequently faster than a Tube, especially if the latter requires a connection. It is <u>always</u> more interesting.

Two useful maps are

The first one is available free at any Tube station.

No, it's the second one. The first one can be printed at home on a single letter sheet.

Thank you Robspierre..Is the buss pass something i would just buy in London? At the transportation office at Victoria for esample?

You can get a bus pass at the ticket office in any Tube station or from any of 1,800 retailers. See here:

Make sure you do not buy more pass than you need. It is more expensive to buy a pass for all zones when the majority of the London highlights are located within the first 2 zones. The tube is very easy to navigate,the buses required too much thought... Enjoy

Jemappell's info about buying just the zones you need only applies to Tube/trains. Even if one buys just a zone 1-2 transport pass, busses are covered throughout all 6 zones.

I am certain that kisses are not included in a seven day BUS pass, even in the new BUSES just introcuced in London.

However, it is still legal to buss on the buses. quot;&gt;

Most people have no trouble using the bus network once they have absorbed a few key bits of lore:

To summarize: ANY Travelcard is valid on ANY bus route in Greater London, but only on the Underground within its specified zones.

Oh well, spelling always was my worst subject.
