London buses and the underground on most routes run from 5.00 to 00.30 and on Sunday from 7.30 to 23.30, then night buses run. The entire network is divided into zones - six for the metro and four bus zones. Their markings appear on buses, on metro maps, stops and stations. Persons who drive without a valid ticket face high penalties.

Travelcard entitles you to use buses, subways and Docklands Light railways and certain British State Rail trains in London at 9.30 am on weekdays and any time during weekends and holidays. It is worth buying a Weekend Travelcard or Family Travelcard . Tickets outside of rush hour are cheaper. If you need to travel around London before 9.30, buy One Day LT Card.
