London Freedom Pass

London Freedom Pass

If you are of 'eligible age' or an 'eligible disabled person' and live permanently in a London borough, you can apply for a Freedom Pass. To calculate your eligible State Pension Age use this link http://pensions.direct.gov.uk/en/state-pension-age-calculator/home.asp

This Pass gives you free travel on buses, Tube, trains, Docklands Light Railway and trams in London, as well as nation-wide bus travel during off peak hours.

London Freedom Pass holders should have renewed their passes by now, in order to receive the new-style passes. If you have applied, and are still waiting for your pass, you can track your progress here: http://tracker.freedompass.org.

However, if you haven't recived your new pass yet, you can still use your old one for the next few months. If you have any queries, and for more information see here:

Forms are available from any London Post Office branch or on the Freedom Pass website, and will be considered as new applications, therefore you will need to supply proof of identity and passport sized photographs when you apply.
