Around ten years ago when I visited London I purchased a weekly underground
travelcard which gave access to all zones for one week. I remember I had to
have a photo ID with it. I found this to be a better deal than the daily
travelcard which could only be purchased after a certain time in the morning
(after 9am or 9:30am I don't exactly recall). Are these weekly travelcards
still available? Also how could I purchase one as I don't remember exactly how
I did the last time?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Spike

London area.

Underground-issued travelcards I think? (just for monthlies and
annuals).

Correct. And equivalently, an Oyster card doesn't have to be
registered to store a weekly on it, but it does to store a monthly.

Actually you don't need a photocard for any period travelcard now.

A 7 day travelcard for Zones 1-6 is £47.60. I don't think there is an
off-peak only version.

The Zones 1-6 3 Day Travelcard (aimed at visitors) is £42.40 anytime or
£21.20 off peak only (not 0430-0930).

Obviously priced so no one buys it but just forks out an extra fiver for the
7 day version.

£21.20 off peak only (not 0430-0930).

0430 is peak time?? Are the tube tunnels open for walking along before the
service starts or something?

The service starts at 0439 (at Hammersmith H&C anyway).
