Eight practical plannersLondon planning tools

Build a realistic London spending allowance for your whole party. Choose age groups, trip length, dining style, travel zones, attractions and shows to get a transparent daily breakdown and trip total.

• Separate under-11, 11–15 and 16–17 fare assumptions
• Current TfL daily caps with important exceptions explained
• Budget, moderate and comfortable food benchmarks
• Free or paid sightseeing and theatre allowances
• Calculations run locally in your browser

Spending-money estimate only. Accommodation, travel to London, airport transfers, shopping and insurance are excluded.

Trains charge per person. A car charges per car. That one difference decides which is cheaper for you, and no timetable can tell you because it doesn't know how many of you there are. Pick your airport and party and it prices every sensible route.

• Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, City and Southend
• Priced for your whole party, not for one imaginary solo traveller
• Three age bands, because every operator draws the child line elsewhere
• Exact landing time and day, so a 3am arrival isn't told to take the Tube
• Metered black cabs and fixed-price cars kept separate

Checked 22 August 2026. Express trains and taxis shown as ranges, because that's how they're priced.

Tell it your zones, your dates and roughly how many journeys a day, and it works out what you'll actually be charged — including the daily and weekly caps that quietly stop you paying once you've spent enough.

• Day-by-day breakdown of what you'll be charged
• The Monday-to-Sunday weekly cap that catches out midweek arrivals
• Tells you plainly whether to tap or buy a 7 Day Travelcard
• Buses, Hopper transfers and Heathrow included
• Zone finder for your hotel, and a printable summary

Adult fares as at 1 March 2026. Caps frozen until at least March 2027.

A single stop takes about ninety seconds on the train — and seven more minutes of stairs, waiting and climbing back to the street. This puts the walk against a realistic door-to-door Tube time for any two central stations.

• 118 stations across Zones 1 and 2, plus 23 landmarks
• Shows exactly where the Tube's time actually goes
• Cross-river journeys routed via the nearest bridge
• Three walking paces, and an interchange allowance
• Ranks London's most pointless one-stop journeys

Estimates from TfL station coordinates, not routed directions.

Your fare zone decides your single fare, your daily cap and your weekly cap — so it quietly sets what a week of travel costs before you've booked anything. Type a station or a neighbourhood and get the answer, plus what it means for your money.

• Every station in TfL's published list
• Search by neighbourhood, not just station name
• Boundary stations flagged — TfL charges the cheaper zone
• What staying further out really costs per week
• Browse every station grouped by zone

Underground stations only. Zones from TfL's published station data.

Select the attractions you genuinely plan to visit, enter the pass price you've been quoted, and compare it with buying the same tickets separately. Free museums are included so they don't accidentally make a pass look better than it is.

• Major paid attractions and their checked gate prices
• Your own quoted pass price, including flash sales
• Free museums included as a realistic itinerary check
• Clear saving or overspend for the sights you selected
• Calculations run locally in your browser

Planning estimate only. Confirm current prices and pass inclusions with the provider.

Enter the adults and children in your group to get an age-by-age London travel checklist. It explains under-11 free travel, the Young Visitor discount for ages 11–15, and the practical options for 16 and 17-year-olds.

• Checks the four-under-11s-per-adult allowance
• Explains Oyster and Visitor Oyster card options
• One step-by-step checklist for the whole family
• Flags airport trains and National Rail exceptions
• Calculations run locally in your browser

*Subject to TfL's accompanying-adult and service rules. Check current rules before travelling.

Select a station or area, your bag count and storage time. The locator compares the official station counter with typical local app-network pricing, so you can see the likely difference before booking.

• Major rail stations and useful central London areas
• Calculates for your number of bags and storage duration
• Keeps official counters separate from app-based shops
• Explains booking, payment and final-price checks
• Calculations run locally in your browser

Planning estimates only. Confirm availability, restrictions and the final price with the provider.
