IShotTheSheriff asked:

I’ll be with a friend, and we’d like to travel around London all day, that’s what we’re gonna do basically. Plus, we stay in a place in Middlesex. Is there any card that can work for 7 days and allow us to travel from Middlesex to London, and to go around to see the city?
Okay, so the Travel Card seems good. It says that I can also use National Rail too, does that mean I won’t have to pay to go to Oxford or Cambridge? I’d like to spend a day there.
