Zone 1 is the shiny heart. Think Big Ben, the London Eye, and tourists taking selfies with pigeons. Zone 6 is where the city exhales.
Zone 6 has real forests. And actual deer. You can stand in a field in Zone 6 and hear silence. Then hop a train and be back in the noise in 40 minutes.
Quirky fact: Zone 6 includes bits of the M25 motorway. That’s not even the city anymore. You’re basically getting a ticket to the countryside.
The Weirdest Journey
You can buy this card and ride from Cockfosters to Morden. Yes, those are real names. No, I’m not joking.
That’s a 34-mile underground journey. You’ll pop up in a place called Morden and wonder if you’re still in the same century. Spoiler: you are, barely.
Then you can turn around and do it again. All for one fixed price. It’s like buying an all-you-can-eat buffet for your feet.
