Travelling with a group across London - best options?

[stuartbaggs]

Hi

In January I will be visiting ExCeL with approximately 20 children aged under 15 and 5 adults.

We are travelling from

HMC to WAT (South West Trains)

WAT to Canning Town (Underground)

Canning Town to Custom House (DLR)

What is the cheapest way to get this group there?

Advice appreciated.

Thanks

HMC is Hampton Court - not intuitive!

Sorry, not an expert on London Zone fares so can't help, but the standard preliminary quétions are:.

Time of day? Day of week? Returning?

Are any of the children young enough to qualify for Boris's extended freebie travel?
Any adults hold F&F railcard?

Have you got a quote from SWT group travel?

You haven't said whether it's a school trip, but if it is, TfL offer a free travel scheme for school parties providing you can travel off-peak. https://tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payments/travel-for-under-18s/school-parties

A child can travel using an adult ticket. An outboundary travelcard is valid throughout Zones 1-6 on any operator.
