From next Sunday, 24th July, anyone using Transport for London (TfL) services can enjoy a range of discounts on the entry price to some of London’s attractions.

A discount of 30 per cent is on offer for tickets to the London Wetland Centre in Barnes, as well as a special two-for-one offer at Ham House and Garden in Richmond and Osterley Park and House.

To take advantage of the discounts, customers should download and use the free TfL Oyster and Contactless app to show they have travelled to the attractions using Transport for London services.

At the London Wetland Centre in Barnes there is amazing wildlife including playful otters, an outdoor adventure playground with a zip wire, or visitors can stroll through the scenic nature reserve. The discounts provide a saving of up to £5.10 for adults and £14.25 for family tickets.

Ham House and Garden is a 17th-century Georgian country estate with picturesque lakes and cycle trails. As well as an extraordinary house known as the “Palace of Palaces”., the gardens offer ever-changing colour,  from the first snowdrops through to a vibrant summer harvest. Osterley Park and House is a short walk from Osterley Piccadilly Line Tube station.

At the Science Museum, Transport for London customers can enjoy half-price entry to Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination and 25 per cent off the price of annual passes to Wonderlab: The Equinor Gallery. To take advantage of the Science Museum offers, customers should pre-book on the museum’s website using special codes.

A 30 per cent discount on adult and concession tickets to Kew Gardens available to Transport for London customers has been extended to 31st August.

To qualify for any of these offers, one person from each party must show proof of travel via the TfL Oyster and Contactless app on the same day they visit. The apps must be downloaded and logged into in advance. The special codes for use with the offers and more information are available at tfl.gov.uk/deals

Seb Dance, Deputy Mayor for Transport, said: “With summer in full swing, there is no better time to enjoy London’s tranquil gardens and wetlands full of wildlife. I’m delighted TfL has partnered with the London Wetland Centre and the National Trust to offer discounts when Londoners travel to attractions on the TfL network.

“This is just the latest brilliant partnership between TfL and London’s world-leading museums and attractions, as we work to encourage more people onto public transport and continue building a more prosperous London for everyone. I urge all Londoners to take advantage of these offers this summer.”

Emma Strain, TfL’s Customer Director, said: “We’re really excited to announce our new partnerships with London Wetland Centre and National Trust just in time for summer. Our services remain the best way to travel around London this season and to top it off, our customers will get to enjoy these wonderful offers as they head to these pockets of nature and serenity within London whilst saving money.”

Ruth Thomas, WWT London Wetland Centre’s Acting General Manager, said: “It’s great to be working in partnership with TfL to offer this discount to anyone using London public transport. Everyone is feeling the pinch at the moment, so 30 per cent off entry to our centre throughout the summer months will hopefully give people a chance to come and visit us and see the wonderful wetlands and wildlife we have here.”

Seb Conway, National Trust’s General Manager for Ham House, said: “We know that many of our visitors want to come to our places by means other than car travel and we’re delighted to be working with TfL to support more people in and around London to do this.

“By taking public transport, or by cycling or walking to our places, collectively we can dramatically reduce both our impact on climate change and our pressure on nature. We look forward to welcoming TfL travellers to Ham House and Osterley Park and House over the next year.”
