Default London Underground travelcard?

Go to www.ticketsto.com . They offer second day and overnight
delivery.

Forget about a 6 zone pass. If you're seeing normal tourist sights, a
central zone pass (zones 1-2) is all you need. If you're thinking about
Kew Gardens or Heathrow, buy a ticket at the station just for that.

Someone else mentioned a photocard - it is NOT needed for a London Visitor
TravelCard.

Enjoy your trip!!

Is it possible to obtain a visitors travelcard in the USA on short
notice? I'll be leaving for London on Jan. 10th. Most websites I have
visited say it takes 2 weeks for standard mail delivery. Any USA travel
agents that could arrange delivery in less time so I can be sure to have
it prior to departure? The 2 week time frame is cutting things a bit
close with mail not reliable.

That pass seems to be about $43USD for a 4 day pass good for zones 1-6
all day. If I can't get that pass, what is available once I get to
London? I have heard my choice is only a 7 day pass which is not good
during the mornings. What is the current price for such a pass?

Thanks, Miles
