You can buy the Travelcard for as many zones as you like – if you will be sticking to central London, then a zone 1 and zone 2 Travelcard is sufficient.
The 1-day Travelcard is a paper ticket. The 7-day, 1-month and longer Travelcards are added to an Oyster Card; they are not available in paper. Please remember to factor in the £5 refundable deposit necessary when buying a new Oyster Card.
A Travelcard runs for 7 consecutive days or a full month from the day of purchase – not a calendar week or a calendar month. For example, a 7-day travel bought on a Tuesday is valid until next Monday night.
The monthly Travelcard works similarly - it runs full month from the purchase date, not a calendar month. E.g. If you buy a monthly travelcard on 17th March, it will expire on 16th April at midnight. The period of validity starts immediately at the time of purchase.
