Can any one help me find cheap two day travel cards for travelling around London? I’m getting so confused!

Travel for under 10s is free on TfL (tubes, buses, DLR, Elizabeth line). On buses they just go on beside you. On the tube go to the big family gate and tap your contactless card and the two of you walk through together.

Under 10s have to pay on the clipper commuter boats (think currently called Uber boats?) Along the Thames and also on the cable car. But still cheaper

It's not you need a zip oyster for free travel.

Goodness no you don't!!

I'm sorry Op I was reading the website and it totally confused me. I thought they went free and they do. S

It is free on TfL for under 11s do 10 year olds. The Zip oyster is only needed if they travel alone.
Overland trains that are not part of TfL services require a 5 to 10 oyster zip for free travel.
The TfL overground services are completely free as long as you are with them.
