scape canada water

May I know if I can buy a monthly tube pass to commute from KCL strand campus to Scape Canada Water please? How much does it cost? I am an international student.

Hi! I am a current student of kings living in CW! Basically, CW is in zone 2 and Strand Campus is in zone 1, so you will need a zone 1-2 travelcard. It can be 7 days, 1 month, 3 months or a year. It gives you unlimited travel by bus, tube, DLR, London Overground, Elizabeth line and National Rail in the zone that the travelcard is valid for. I recommend to apply for 18+ photo card if you are 18+. If not, there will be other choices of oyster card too!

This is the price table, MONTHLY pass of ZONE 1-2 will be £114.50
18+ Student Oyster photocard prices 2024 (tfl.gov.uk)

Hullo. Sorry to bother you again. Must I buy it online? Is there an office at a rail station where I can buy it physically? Thanks very much

May I know if I can buy the monthly travelcard at a physical train station or branch please? I have a student oyster card but I can't seem to use it online
